Mountain Beauty/City Convenience
This apartment/In-law suite is amazing!! It's was spacious, modern & very clean! The property sat high up on a mountain, which lent itself for a fun curvaceous & exquisite drive! The house was surrounded by lush greenery, various fruit bearing trees & bushes, a garden that would make a vegetarians mouth water, a precious retired egg layer hen and the owners two four-legged children - "Alice" the dog & "Jacqueline" their kitten & Alice's scrappin' partner.
My husband and I were in town for a conference at the Grove Park Inn the last week of July, a scorcher...or so we thought - at least it was in central NC. To our surprise the weather was beautiful, don't get me wrong it was still hot but it wasn't nearly as humid & the breeze through the trees was cool & relaxing.
The property owners Rob & Greg were incredibly welcoming and went way above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed & that our stay was a memorable one. I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about them....they are the type of people you want to have friends - no wait, family!
Because our trip was more work than play I wanted to do something special for my husband. I made an inquiry with Rob to see what my options were locally for having some sort of treat basket delivered to the house before we arrived. Rob asked me a few questions about some of our favorite things and he took it from there. Upon arrival Rob & Greg had the most amazing treat platter waiting for us! It consisted of a variety of hand dipped (by Rob & Greg themselves!) chocolate covered fruits, a variety of our favorite cookies, all of which were topped off by a selection of beverages. Rob had also mentioned that if I wanted him to get my husband a card...all he asked was that I send him what I wanted the card to say and Greg would write it out for me in calligraphy, which actually turned out more beautiful than any card I could have found in a store!
This place - scenery, atmosphere, animals & hosts were all ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! My husband and I cannot wait to go back, this time for play not work!
Rob and Greg, we cannot thank you both enough for opening your home to us, for making us feel safe & comfortable, and for going out of your way to make sure my husband knows just how special he is to me and how much I love him!
We hope to see you both soon. Be well.
