About this property

This luxurious 7000 sq ft country estate on 35 private picturesque acres has been tastefully arranged into three separate rental units, each with it’s own private entrance and no shared indoor spaces. Bring the whole family and enjoy The Bunkhouse with it’s full kitchen, formal dining, large family room, and 3 bedrooms, each with full bath en suite. Three porches (2 private, one partially shared) allow indoor/outdoor living to take in the beauty and serenity of this special location.

Estate at Williamston is a large, private 7000 SQ foot country estate that has been separated into three individual units: "The Bunkhouse", "The Luxury Escape", and "The Peaceful Retreat". They are each separate units under the same roof (could be considered similar to a townhouse) with their own exterior entrance and there is no shared inside space, but if adjThe acent units are both rented, the connecting doors can be unlocked from both sides simultaneously to connect the units. As there may be another guest in the adjacent unit, we do ask all our guests to observe quiet time between 10pm and 8am to respect the other guests.

The Bunkhouse is the middle unit, so it can be combined with either or both of the other two. The peaceful retreat is a single floor and the other two are each two story, which, also similar to a townhouse, the floor above and below will all be the same unit (i.e. your ceiling won't be immediately below someone else's floor.)

To rent more than one unit together, guests can simply make both or all three reservations in the usual manner. We had previously offered a single rate for the entire property, but it was higher than the combined price of the three units, so now we simply offer the ability to rent all three individually if they are available on your desired dates.

To view these properties, simply search "The Bunkhouse at the Estate at Williamston", "Luxury Escape at the Estate at Williamston", and "Peaceful Retreat at the Estate at WIlliamston" on VRBO. If it's not showing up, it may not be available on the requested dates, so if you remove the dates from your search, you should be able to find it.

Thank you for looking and we hope to have you stay with us soon! Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Very nice place

This very nice place fit our needs just fine except that we were without a refrigerator for 20+ hours when we first arrived. Thanks for getting us in a substitute refrigerator into the front hall. The lock on the dirty front door is also not working reliably. The description on the Vrbo listing is rather confusing. Lovely location!

Nature Wonderland

Saw so many wild animals I'm not sure I'll remember them all! Deer, cranes, racoons, baby racoons, badgers, bunnies, chipmunks , butterflies galore and even a hummingbird! All in all just a magnificent all around experience! Off the charts charm to spare! We will definitely stay anytime we visit town!

Beautiful acreage

We arrived at night and had some trouble finding the house. Our phone navigation apps didn't get us the last mile (which the owner disclosed that GPS probably wouldn't), but the property isn't well marked from the road and is some distance off the road. Once we arrived at the house it was impressive from the outside. There is a pond and it is surrounded by trees. It really was a lovely setting. We saw wildlife every day. My teenagers enjoyed walking our dogs around the pond to see what wildlife they could discover. There were a few things we expected to find in the kitchen that were not there, such as wine glasses, can opener, lighter, hot pads, mixer, kitchen towels (there was only one). Otherwise, it was sufficiently stocked. On the first night I showered late and was surprised when the water shut off when I was mid shower. I contacted the owner and she explained that the water softener cycles late at night and draws a significant amount of water. After knowing that little tidbit, we didn't have any other water issues. You can not change the thermometer and we found the house to be uncomfortably warm. We cracked windows to control the temperature, but it would have been preferable to be able to control the temperature.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

We are a family of 8, four adult children (3 by birth, 1 by marriage) and our second round with two young adopted daughters. Between military assignments and job changes, we’ve lived all over the country. We’ve developed a love for real estate and hospitality and we even own a small independent motel! We enjoy traveling to different parts of the country and world, and especially making friendships that we can maintain over the years!

Why they chose this property

Purchasing this property was a dream come true! What fun having 35 acres of peaceful serenity with a fishing pond, fire pits, trails, and even a red barn! We’ve enjoyed exploring the land, we’ve dabbled in raising a few farm animals, and now we’re excited to be sharing our little piece of paradise with you!
