Family vacation

There was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfortable and the bunk room was enjoyed by the kids. Everyone enjoyed the pool. Nancy left snacks on the counter for us, and she responded quickly to my messages.

Great Stay, Terrific Owner

The owner (Nancy) was awesome. Due to another owner cancelling at the very last minute, I was in a crunch to find something. Upon seeing the property available, I reached out and the immediate, cordial communication flow began with Nancy. The home is as described. It is a bit of an older home but has all of the charm, space (inside and outside), and amenities needed for a family gathering.

Graduation

Our family traveled from Kentucky to Charlotte for my granddaughter’s graduation. We were greeted by balloons and a graduation gift! Nancy communicated with me throughout the entire stay! The neighborhood was amazing. We were only minutes away from shopping! The home was BEAUTIFUL and well kept! We were so comfortable! It felt like home!!

Weekend to remember!

The property was exactly as described and PERFECT for our family and friends! There were 11 of us in for our son's wedding. From ages 10 to 79! Nancy's home provided more than enough room and was everything you could imagine!! We arrived to a super cute peg board congratulating the new Mr. & Mrs., lots of fun snacks and also a personal note on the chalk board. I am a very detailed person so this meant the world to me! From beginning to end, Nancy ALWAYS answered every question right away. The home was very clean and it literally had anything and everything you could need for a wonderful weekend. Just bring clothes and food!The host provides tons of extra linens and there is easy access, a great convenient neighborhood & the property is GORGEOUS!!! I could continue on and on!! ALL 11 of us were VERY HAPPY with Nancy's home!!! We can't thank you enough, Nancy!!

Beautiful Charlotte Family Home

I can’t say enough nice things about this home! We came to Charlotte for a family vacation with small children and wanted a city with plenty of activities to choose from. We had to have a house with a pool. This pool is the largest single family home pool I have ever seen! Bigger than some hotel pools. The home is so large and has plenty of choices of places for people to gather or be separate if wanted. Huge bedrooms, most with their own private bath! But what made this house better than any other VRBO home is the amenities. Nancy went above and beyond with supplies. We didn’t have to use any of our own toilet tissue, paper towels, kitchen items, even had coffee, Keurig, tea, fully stocked spices, sugar, everything you need to cook. It is so conveniently located to any activity you want to do. Nancy responded to our questions right away. I would give this home a 10 if I could!! Thanks again Nancy!!

Large house - great for family gatherings

We all loved the pool - it was the perfect week-end for it. The kids loved the downstairs area - that was their main hang out and my kids wanted to take the whole area home with us. The bedrooms are all large and the kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook meals. We spent so much time on the large back porch even when it was hot - it was nice there was a little fan out there and the whole yard is very private. Nancy was very responsive and answered all questions - there is a grocery store and cvs very close by.

Simply AMAZING

I wanted something private but with entertainment options for my daughter's 15th birthday. The place was ideal with a private pool. The hostess was so nice and answered me back through text almost immediately. The house was perfect for the age groups that accompanied me. From 2months to a twenty six year old, to two older women (lol), we all had a ball. The cleanliness of the home was great, the area was ideal, and the couple of near by eateries were pretty good. I would suggest this home to anyone that wants to feel pampered and well taken care of.

Our group very much enjoyed our stay in Nancy's property. The large home was clean and well equipped. Nancy was very responsive to any questions. Check-in was easy. The home sits on a beautiful, forested lot. We particularly enjoyed the expansive, private back porch. The pool was also very nice. Great home for a large family gathering.

House is very large and was perfect for our group. Nancy went above and beyond what I’d expect from a host. She was very quick replying to any questions that I had.

Beautiful and serene

We had a wonderful time: me, my husband, 2 year old boy, 4 year old boy and 4 month old girl. Also my parents came along and helped with the kids. The backyard is like a secret garden escape. My boys loved taking nature walks multiple times per day. There’s also a beautiful large pool to swim in. Backyard even has a campfire area. House is full of everything you may need. We used “babyquip” to rent baby items and some toys for the kids. It was an amazing service to boot cuz they worked with Nancy to get into the house and have all setup for us. Wonderful stay!!!!

My stay was absolutely phenomenal! Our host was gracious, kind, and extremely compassionate.

The house is beautiful just as stated. What is understated is the outdoor living space and the creek area with petite bridges that cross. You over to the outdoor oasis that is the yard and fire pit. I am runner and the neighborhood is just stunning but the deer....ahhh what a beautiful place to visit. I love it so much I am going purchase a home in that vicinity. Thank you for loving on my family in the manner that you did. Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated❤️ Sincerely, Shawntelle

OMG!

We had a wonderful stay Charlotte. The house was amazing and the location is perfect. Very thoughtful welcome snacks were provided. The house had everything you needed plus some. Draw full of spices, everything you need to bake. Girls made brownies and banana pudding. Plenty of space for our party of 6. Nancy was an awesome host! It was me, 2 girlfriends, and our 3 teenage girls. The girls enjoyed the game room and the pool. She had everything in that game room. Pool table, foosball table ping pong table, Wii, and Xbox. The girls really enjoyed themselves. They swam all day and game room all night. Whenever we had a question. Nancy quickly responded. We had issues with the grill she immediately came over and changed the tank. The house is absolutely lovely! Our only regret trip was way too short.
