The Cottage was perfect for our trip. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Very clean, cozy and comfortable. Nice extra touches to make you feel at home. Highly recommend!
This is a great house and would be perfect for two couples. It is well appointed, has comfortable beds and a wonderful kitchen and bathroom. TV's in each bedroom. For a small house it looks much larger than it is. It has lots of decking in the back, and a ramp up the front instead of steps. You wont regret booking this house. I hope to stay again.
The place was amazing, clean, and bug-free. Great parking for boat trailers. The backyard was spectacular and excellent for leisure activities outside. Very cute place and will be staying again soon.
Cottage was wonderful! Clean, neat, comfortable and well stocked for a great visit. Cottage is close to apple orchard, winerys and weather was terrific. Would definitely stay again!!
This was a perfect place for our family of four to stay for a quick trip to go snow tubing and visit family. The owners are very prompt and responsive to any request. The stay was very pleasant. We had an enjoyable family vacation.
We were in town for a golf tournament and this wonderful cottage was perfect. Convenient to the golf course, restaurants, and the grocery store made it a perfect fit. Because the house was properly furnished, we were able to cook steaks and have friends over to visit. This is perfect for a quick getaway or extended visit. Hope to be able to come back soon!!

Thank you for the 5 star review. We are glad you found everything you needed to enjoy your stay. We would be glad to host you again anytime!
We loved the large deck and fire pit with lots of seating.
Rebecca was kind enough to bring us matches and a lighter at 9:30 at night so we could make s'mores!
House was very clean, kitchen well stocked.

Thank you for the 5 star review. We always want to make sure our guests have everything they need to enjoy their stay. Happy to host you again when you are in the Morganton area.
A clean, affordable place to stay with great access to nature, trails, fishing and winding roads.
Morganton is a hidden gem. The cottage is well equipped with a huge deck, grill, and is recently updated with everything you would need. Near Lake James and Blue Ridge mountains. Roughly 50 miles to Asheville.
David and Rebecca have gone above and beyond with their generosity and detailed attention to anything that may be needed during ones stay. Items such as snacks, spices, and individual serve condiment packets are kind and handy provisions.
The whole house is neatly arranged and pleasing to the eyes. We would love to stay again when visiting family in North Carolina. Likewise, we highly recommend David and Rebecca's generous hospitality and attention to detail. Thank you for the great stay!

Nathan, Thank you for your kind 5 star review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our generosity and attention to detail. We would be absolutely delighted to host you again when you're visiting family in North Carolina. Thank you for recommending us!
The hosts were super nice and responsive. We had a little issue with plumbing but they were there as soon as we reported it to get it fixed. The house was clean and there were some snacks and water when we arrived. I would definitely recommend this property. The only issue was the house is close to highway so we did hear noisy vehicles passing by.

We apologize for the road noise. Being on a 2 lane state route road so close to town limits, it sometimes can get busy. We do provide a sound machine to help with it. Glad you enjoyed your stay outside of that and appreciate your patience with plumbing issue.
We enjoyed our stay here very much. It’s hard to imagine that this little house could be cared for any more perfectly. It was super clean from top to bottom. Totally well-stocked with everything we needed. All kitchenware, games, and local information were appreciated. All appliances were in great working order. The furniture, including beds, was attractive and comfortable. Yes, the house is small but plenty of room for the 3 of us. The backyard (fenced in with privacy fence) is very nice with the grill, deck furniture, and fire pit. The house is situated on a well-traveled road and near noise, but there was no issue for us at night. The owner was very accommodating and entry and departure was smooth and easy.
