This property is exactly as listed, was clean, comfortable, organized and perfect for our girls weekend. We loved being close to the sweet town of Hillsboro, while enjoying country life. Our host provided all the information we needed, responded to questions quickly, and made the check in and out process simple. We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful words!! We hope you return to our humble abode!
This place was perfect. It was the right amount of room a fenced yard for pets. Child's jungle gym. Out in country so no town noise. Definitely get your values worth. Will definitely book again.
This was our second stay at this house and it was great. The house is clean and peaceful. The patio was perfect for relaxing evenings. My dog loved the fenced yard to be able to run around off leash after a long day at the dog show. The host was very responsive to our questions.
The property was very well maintained and clean. It is a one level picturesque home on acreage with a large fenced in backyard and pretty landscaping. It makes for a relaxing and comfortable rural retreat.The hosts were very accommodating, pleasant and responsive in their communication with us. They are ideal hosts. This property is pet friendly. The home came with everything we could need to enjoy our stay. We look forward to renting this property again in the future.
Clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated with everything we needed for a week-long stay. Setting is quiet and peaceful. Fenced back yard is great for dogs.
We came back to stay again after we liked it so much the first time and it was another good visit. The house is very comfortable, the location is great for us, and the yard is perfect for our dog. We will come back again in the future!
The house and property were very clean and well cared for. My granddaughter who lives nearby loved playing on the play set. I would certainly stay here again.

The property was very clean. We had a very nice stay. Katherine the owner responded to my email very quickly. Hoping to return in the fall for a long weekend.
My friend and I stayed at this adorable house with our dogs for the weekend. We were in the area for a dog show and the location was ideal. The property was very clean and perfect for our weekend. The fenced back yard was great to let the dogs run as we sat on the deck in the evening with a glass of wine. We loved it and will be back!
The house is in a private location but with easy access to Hillsborough. It was very comfortable with a great fenced yard for our dog. We will definitely come back!
We enjoyed the quiet neighbood. The house had all the kitchen basics we needed for a 3 night stay plus comfortable beds. The host was responsive when we ran into an issue with a sticking front doorknob.
Out in a very beautiful, wooded area of North Carolina. The stay was great. Our only issue was the door handle stuck a bit when first opening our way into the home. Everything was clean and ready for us. We highly recommend!
Our family LOVED this home. It is in a beautiful country setting with lots of space to rest and relax. You're not far from the nearest gas station (5 minutes) or grocery store (11 minutes). The home was immaculate and the home owners were very responsive to the few questions we had. If we're ever in North Carolina again we will be staying here.
This was our second time staying at the private country home. The location is why we like it. The house is on a quiet road with very little traffic. The only thing you have to worry about are the deer. The house is very clean and comfortable.
