About this property
Sweet Retreat w/ Fire Pit, Near Downtown & Golf
This cozy home has everything you need for a brief trip or extended stay. Take a leisurely walk to breathtaking horse farms or drive a short distance to renowned golf courses. Easily access the charm of downtown Southern Pines just a mile away. It has ample parking on site, with room for RVs. Enjoy the large porches and huge backyard where you can wave at the trains as they arrive to the station. This home is a true gem and we are so pleased to share it with you!
This 100-year-old home is a true family project built by my great-grandparents and restored by multiple family members. Sip sweet tea on the back porch while enjoying thunderstorms or watching the trains go by. Take in the sights of the towering pine trees while you pick muscadine grapes from the vines on the property. All while you have incredible access to downtown Southern Pines and nearby Pinehurst, as well as multiple renowned golf courses.
The home is single-story and situated on a massive double lot. On one side attached to the home is a flat backyard where you can play outdoor games such as disc golf, croquet, corn hole, soccer, and more. The second lot is full of pine trees and azaleas. Though guests will not have access to the second lot, they can enjoy the flora from several large windows in the home.
The cozy living room has one large sectional and overlooks the front porch and porch chairs through the large window. Enjoy an array of games in the entertainment center. The living room includes a 52" Smart TV. Log into just about any app you choose or check out free TV options that are available.
The primary bedroom includes a queen bed and dresser, stylish barn doors, a walk-in closet, and en suite bathroom with double vanity. Multiple windows are in the bedroom as well as in the bathroom and closet.
The second bedroom is large and includes a queen bed and large dresser with two small closets and two generous windows. This would be a great room for a pack-n-play or toddler bed if traveling with littles (we can make these items available as needed).
The third bedroom has a bunk bed with a full-sized bed on the bottom and a twin on top, as well as a dresser and closet. It has one large window.
The fourth bedroom has a dedicated workspace and a comfortable futon with bedding available, as well as a dresser and closet. It has one large (dreamy) window overlooking the backyard.
The full bathroom has a generous double vanity, a bathtub, and a toilet separated by a privacy wall. Lots of storage to hold toiletries for multiple people.
The kitchen has everything you could want for an extended stay and for those who want to take advantage of some home cooking. In addition to a stove, oven, fridge, and freezer, it boasts an air fryer, Ninja blender, toaster oven, and K-pod coffee machine. Multiple flavors of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are available.
The dining nook overlooks the back deck and features a large window with views of the second wooded lot. It includes a table that seats six. Swinging doors off of the dining room lead to the laundry area.
The laundry room is large and has a new washer and dryer as well as a utility sink. Additional cleaning supplies are kept here.
Tiny guests (aka babies and kids) are welcome here - a pack-n-play, toddler bed, and high chair are available. The littles will love the trains!
Guest access
The entire home is available for guest use.
There is a small garage located next to the home where guests can access backyard games. The garage is not available for parking cars.
The other side of the double lot (separated by a fence) has a large garage and greenhouse. This second lot and its buildings are not available for guest use but the view of the trees and flowers can be enjoyed from the home and outdoor spaces.
Other things to note:
The passing trains are a feature of the home. Please be aware that you could hear one or more trains during night hours. For this reason we provide earplugs and a sound machine, but please bring whatever you need for you and your littles to sleep comfortably. (The train goes right through downtown, so this is a common noise heard throughout town - but not everybody gets to wave to the trains like we do!)
We are a keyless home. Upon booking you will receive a PIN that will open the front and back doors throughout your stay. The PIN will not work outside of your booking dates.

Paul and Deanna are originally from Southern California and met at UC Irvine. Deanna has lived in Madrid and Barcelona, Spain, as well as Valparaiso, Chile. We lived in Washington, DC and Mount Rainier, MD for many years. We love being able to provide a feeling of "home" so that guests can connect with the communities we love. We enjoy traveling, the beach, and being parents to our amazing 5-year-old. Deanna and Paul run Resonance Holistic Living, a wellness business based in Cary, NC, where Paul provides acupuncture and wellness coaching. Retreats are available from our properties.
Why they chose this property
This home has been in our family for over 100 years. Southern Pines is incredibly charming with a bustling downtown full of small businesses, with incredible access to world-class golf courses just 10-15 minutes away. The home itself is surrounded by country-feeling roads and beautiful horse farms, ideal for a walk or jog.
What makes this property unique
The home was built by my great-grandparents Grace and Tom in 1921! My grandmother Vivian was born in the home in 1924. My grandparents moved to California in 1964 but returned to this home in their retirement years. My sister and I would travel to this home for a couple of weeks each summer to visit. We would marvel at the summer lightning storms, wave at passing trains, enjoy sweet tea in rocking chairs on the back deck, and play croquet and badminton in the backyard until it got dark.
The home was recently brought back to life by various members of the family through upgrades and renovations. The kitchen sink, hardwood floors, interior doors, and bathroom wall cabinets remain original to the home.
My husband and I have been STR hosts at two other properties in the DC-area. We now live in the Triangle and are thrilled to have worked with my parents and father-in-law to pour love back into this home to turn it into what you see now. We are delighted to share such a special town and property with the guests who will stay here.
