The home was historical pretty good renovations. Its why we chose it, other locations were less and appeared appropriate. Cleaning was a big concern after a 7 hour drive we had to clean before we slept. The sofa had lots stains all over, it could have been covered, no one wanted to sit in it. We washed all the towels, bed linens and pillow cases, mattresses should have been covered along with pillows due to public usage. There was no mention of a doggie door no way of locking it. Downstairs had no blinds or curtains, front door, back door and kitchen window. The extra blankets provided had an odor, needed washing. We cleaned the over prior to use, kitchenwares( George Forman) were not cleaned, we washed everything in the kitchen before we used it. Our time there was not as enjoyable because of having a terrible first experience. We told the management team everything. Owners were Military out of country, thank you for service. We we only able to get half of the cleaning fees back

What can I say about this place! We were in town to visit some family in Star, NC. This home gave us a little place to get away and still provided all of the needed things for our trip. We had 6 adults and 2 children staying in the home and had plenty of space and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The home is very clean and we had no issues at all. Everything is as it appears in the pictures and more. Thank you for sharing your home with us so that we could travel and be with family!!

We spent more than a week in this beautifully renovated historic home. It was clean and attractive, the beds were quite comfortable, the updated bathrooms spotless, and the kitchen conveniently furnished for family dinners. Someone had put great thought into how an old house could have modern features without losing the historic elements that make it charming. One of my favorite features was the lovely backyard with a covered and open deck beneath the shade of gorgeous old walnut trees. Damara and Birche were friendly and responsive to our questions.
