Very nice place.
It is a little secluded and hard to get to at night if you’re not good on gravel roads. It does pass over two small creeks on the road to get to it where your car will dip into the creek so no low cars. The place was very nice overall but the floors made our socks black the first night. Other then that it was very cute and relaxing and the beds were comfy.

Bring a chainsaw and drive a truck
This NOT listed by the property owner, it's listed by Vacasa of North Carolina. You drive a single-lane privately maintained dirt road to access property. There are giant piles of rock/dirt they consider "speed bumps" and potholes all over the place. You have to drive THROUGH two actively flowing creeks to get to this property. Had we taken the car instead of the truck, I would have turned around and cancelled this reservation. The grass was about 12" tall when we arrived and well over that by the time we left. It had clearly not been mowed in quite some time. There's several loose patio pavers, including all of the triangle cut ones at the edge of the patio. They slip right out from under your feet. There were piles of scrap metal scattered around the yard. Since there aren't any pictures of the "waterfront" advertised on here, it's a little stream that runs through the back yard. Interior looks exactly as pictured. Back doors were unlocked when we arrived & AC was off. There is NO central air. House was covered in a layer of dust and took hours to cool. Master mattress is extremely worn and pitted. Couches are very worn. Neighbors don't leash or fence their dogs. They were frequently in the yard. It rained, trees got hit by lightning, road flooded. The Vacasa toll free number posted on the door didn't get to a local human. I reached out to VRBO and was told to "contact owner." We left early. I didn't pay over $1,000 to clear trees out of the road and get flooded in.

We really loved how spacious, updated, and clean the house was, and the wraparound deck was awesome! There were plenty of dishes, silverware, and cookware available. Since it was just my husband and I, we didn’t get to try out the two guest bedrooms, but the king-size bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable to sleep on, and I really loved the electric “fireplace” in the main bedroom. The only small complaints I would have was that the lock on the bathroom door on the first floor didn’t work, the white refrigerator needed to be cleaned, and a couple of the drawers in the main bathroom needed to be cleaned as well. I would also mention that the actual road leading up to the house is pretty rough and rocky so you really need to drive slow when driving on that road. Other than that, we really loved the house and really enjoyed our stay there. I would definitely recommend this home if you are looking for a quiet but lovely vacation home.
