It’s a beautiful older home with lots of charm and history. It’s a very short walk to the historic district, which has something for all age groups!A full sized coffee maker would have been more convenient than the single serving Keurig, with four coffee drinkers.We would certainly stay there again.

A great stay at the cottage

This property worked great for us. It was very comfortable, and had everything we needed to accommodate our family, including our toddler grandchild. The rooms are all very comfortable. The location is great, we were able to walk into town. We plan on staying here again.

Beautiful farm house

The home is beautiful and spacious. Perfect location for the wedding venue we were attending. The downtown area was just a few blocks away to enjoy morning coffee and get a walk in. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Thank you so much we really enjoyed our stay.

Family visit

This was a perfect location to visit with family in this area. There is a well stocked kitchen and even snacks and toys for the kids. The General Store is a delight with a lot of North Carolina and local made products. Their ice cream is a must! Overall a great stay.

Cozy Home in Wendell

What a charming home in Wendell. Host Amanda was attentive and available for any concerns we had. The house had everything we needed. We loved sitting outside on the wrap around porch with no sun in our faces. Very relaxing! Downtown was just a few blocks away by walk (next traffic light - it is a busy road). We were in town to visit family and they were very closeby, all around worked out great! Nice area.

Good value

Great place to stay for the money. The listing of getting access to the home wasn't correct and we needed to contact the owner. She was able to get us the correct code. The wifi wasn't good but we managed. The master bedroom/bathroom doesn't get heat, so it was cooler in that area. The home is near the road and intersection so it can be loud and a little tricky leaving and entering the driveway.

House was comfortable and accommodating for a nice family gathering! Just a few additions would have helped the stay to be more adapting. Ie; bbq utensils, Tongs, hose is cracked and leaky which we needed to clean the back yard chairs, for a family of 5 adults and 2 kids, ran out of garbage bags, paper towels and toilet paper the very first day. I feel the property manager will appreciate this tid bit of constructive criticism- REALLY happy we got to be all together in the same home! Will consider same location in future! Thank you.
