Location was great. Home was reasonable considering the renovations the owner is doing. However, I wasnât too satisfied with the cleaning. Extra bedding was dirty, and the couches, floors, covers already out, under the sofas contained a lot of pet hair. I had to rewash blankets just to know that it was âcleanâ. So I give the overall stay 5.5
I was disappointed how old the house is. The lighting in the kitchen is by pulling a string that was broken. We had to get a chair to turn on the light at the light. The rest of the house didn't have overhead lighting and maybe one outlet per room. The ceiling in the room next to the bathroom was repaired, but not finished. The bathroom floor was mushy. I was worried about falling through the flooring at any minute. The washing machine didn't work at all. There were a couple TVs but it was set up with Roku and passwords were needed. Wifi was really slow. Also, lots of bugs in the house. I asked a few questions about the set up of the tv, owner responded and seemed nice. This place could be ok, but it would take about $30,000-50,000 of repairs and updates.
Enjoyed staying in North Carolina. The location of the Cottage is great. Close to shopping and different tourist attractions throughout NC. The Cottage could use some updating, but overall it was comfortable, like going to visit Grandma!! Thank you for letting my family and I stay in the Cottage for the week.
The cottage was accurately described and in a nice quiet neighborhood. We had some difficulty in getting in the house and find light switches (only 2), and the ceiling fans did help some with the distribution of air. Overall, the house had an odor of old house and cat urine (cat tree in corner although listed as no pets). All beds could use new mattresses and the couch near the cat tree needs to be reupholstered or replaced as itâs been clawed by the cat. Outside sheds could be a problem if you have children that donât listen and like to explore.
While there are other houses visible, this property was extremely quiet and relaxing. Great location, "civilization" easily accessible...just a short drive.
Hope to stay again when we're more physically mobile (one broken back and one broken leg... hopefully we'll be fully recovered soon). Plenty of historic sites nearby.
