We could not ask for a better representation of North Carolina. The view is beautiful. The neighbors farm honey bees, which was a quirky, cool thing to see. The location is a quick trip from downtown. There are at least two restaurants in walking distance. A small convenience store is across the street for water/alcohol. The best part was our host. You will be renting the bottom floor of the house where the host lives, and she could not be a sweeter, more generous person. We had a really bad trip up to NC, but she helped us get settled in and on our feet, in ways far beyond our expectations. Absolutely recommend staying here.
