We had a wonderful one-week stay at the Backyard Bungalow with our family! Everything was beautifully maintained, clean, and thoughtfully cared for, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The property was quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful scenery, providing the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.The location was excellent, with easy access to many of Pinehurst's top attractions, restaurants, and golf courses. It was the perfect home base for our vacation.Thank you for providing such a beautiful place to stay and helping make our family vacation so memorable. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend the Backyard Bungalow to others!

In The perfect location, Megan's cottage was close to the heart of Pinehurst, but hidden away in the woods. Private but conveniently close to shopping and the village, we enjoyed the screened porch with a morning cup of coffee and the back deck in the quiet evenings. Watching the deer move through was a special treat from the large sunroom windows!The cottage was equipped with all the cleanest comforts from the cozy couch in front of a huge TV, to the soft but supportive mattress. Not quite luxurious, but new, clean, practical and private. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful, well appointed property in an upscale neighborhood tucked back in a wooded area that let in just the right amount of light. Home was clean and nicely decorated with amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. Everything was new, bedding was comfortable, living areas had comfortable furniture, kitchen had everything you needed for a short to long term stay. Beautiful outdoor screened in porch / sunroom and fenced in back yard with sitting area. Bathroom came well stocked with essential towels, wash clothes, and an amazing walking in shower with an in-shower bench if needed for your bathing experience. New washer/dryer stacked conveniently for use if needed. Very comfortable property overall. In an excellent location to the harness track, golf courses, restaurants and shopping. Can’t wait to return !!!!
