Below are a few of our favorite local spots worth checking out: - 400' to The Jefferson Inn (live music on the weekends) - 0.2 miles to Southern Pines Brewing Company (frosé and local beer on tap) - 0.2 miles to Ashtens - 0.2 miles to The Bell Tree Tavern - 0.3 miles to Southern Pines Growler - 0.3 miles to So Pines Pizza - 0.4 miles to Southern Prime Steakhouse (fancy dinner) - 0.6 miles to Betsy's Crepes (the best breakfast spot around, in our humble opinion) - 0.9 miles to Sly Fox (the butter chicken dish is to die for - don't take my word for it) - The list goes on and on... EV Charging is available just a short walk (0.2 miles) from the property at the Southern Pines Library.

Nice little place, host was very responsive. I do feel that it should not be tge responsibly of the guest paying to stay at a place to take the trash to the street. I feel we are responsible to clean and take our trash to the dumpster but to take the trashcan that is already full of other guests trash because trash days falls on our days paying to stay, that responsibly should not be mine. I am a paying customer not a tenet. Other then that, the place was great.
