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.

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.

Weekend Getaway in Hurdle Mills, NC

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!

Comfy little spot to stay

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!

The Best

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.

Second stay was as great as the first

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.
