Weekend away.
Thought there would be lake access, but there is not, without a drive. Spent sometime fishing near the dam. House is clean, well organized, and cozy. Anytime i reached out to the host, received immediate response. Would be all five stars if it had lake access.

Cute cabin cottage
loved the kitchen & its overall aesthetic. Mostly private backyard was nice. Not much of a water view. The toilet was on a pedestal which wouldn’t have been a big deal for me and my husband but we have a toddler potty training currently so that was a challenge. The listing amenities said “Grill” so when we arrived we were bummed to not see one, but Tracy fixed that for us immediately by offering her personal grill up for us to use then going above and beyond to buy a brand new one on the Fourth of July! That was amazing! I would say the only “issue” was that it could have been cleaned better. It was definitely overrun with cobwebs and spiders.

The cabin between two dams
Very relaxing cute quiet cabin. It was fun to walk the neighborhood. The cabin was very well equipped. No cell service which made it a relaxing get away. The wifi worked perfect. Lots of trails nearby. Would definitely come back and recommend renting this cabin!

Great cottage with awesome views just a short walk away!
Spent my birthday here, it was the perfect getaway. Huge backyard, great fire pit, and the kitchen is great! It was an awesome place to kick back and relax, make some great dinners, and have a hub to come back to after a hike! Hit the road joe was a great spot as well.

Fantastic Value in a Quiet Getaway
Cute little home, very clean and eclectic. We like to hit the trails and the dunes in jeeps and on foot and this was a fantastic little base camp to spread out from and come back to. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for outdoors fun in the area.

Lovely cabin with limited water access
We had a great time hanging out and spending time around the fire pit. The cabin was comfy and well furnished. My only pause is that it was hard to access the water. The nearest public beach is 1 mile away. So great for spending time together, not so great for easy access water activities.

We were in need of a getaway and couldn’t have picked a better place. Water all around if you want to enjoy some kayaking or canoeing. Found some amazing food places within 15 miles. Just amazing, we highly recommend!

Lovely Cottage Experience
This 2 bedroom cottage has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Tucked in a quiet neighborhood but close to grocery and restaurants. The bikes are a bonus with lots of options to roam! Beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need - even spices. Visiting the owners restaurant, Hit the Road Joe, is a must. I’m from NC and she makes some seriously good BBQ!
