We (two humans and one dog) had the perfect stay at Lorrin’s place in Bent Creek. The place was clean and the hosts had thought of everything, down to the dog bowls and dog towels. I will also say this: You would scarce know this was a dog friendly rental, as the apartment is spotless and beautiful. They’ve created what feels like quite the retreat, just a stone’s throw from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the NC Arboretum. Our favorite part of the stay, aside from how accommodating our hosts were, was the back deck (brand new and huge) we had to ourselves each morning, from which to admire the forest, sip coffee, and throw the ball for our furry friend. Highly recommend!
