Wonderful!

I cannot express enough gratitude for this getaway and our host. My friend and I arrived after a stressful and uncertain time in our lives, and from the moment we stepped inside, it felt like home. The space was quiet, comfortable, and welcoming—exactly what we needed. Lorillee went above and beyond to ensure our stay was smooth and enjoyable. We truly appreciated having this sanctuary while we waited for our new home to be ready. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and homey retreat. Thank you for everything!

Not as Expected

Totally not as expected!!!! We were disappointed with the sleeping accommodations. Not suitable for three adults!!! We ended up having to getting a hotel (luckily one was available on such late notice) and did not even stay here!

Our stay at Shabby Chic

Very comfortable. The bedrooms were very comfortable, the large couch easily allows 4-5 people to sit comfortably and watch the TV. The kitchen was well furnished, with new appliances. Felt like home away from home. Would stay here again and highly recommend this location.

Hi friend! 👋 If we haven’t met before, I’m Lorillee Krebsbach, pronounced LAW-rel-LEE. I was born in Janesville, Wisconsin but the Charlotte area of North Carolina has had my heart since 2015. I’ve been in real estate for over two decades and finally took the plunge to create my own real estate firm, Zion Real Estate, in 2020.

I absolutely love my job.

Besides being a guide to home buyers and sellers as they navigate the world of real estate, I love LIVE music, supporting local restaurants, hiking, restoring old furniture and flipping houses. Needless to say, I am never bored.

I’m also an incredibly proud Mom of 4 grown kids and Grandma of 5 precious kiddos, (fair warning, I will be posting adorable grandkid photos here on the regular).

I specialize in selling homes, buying your investment property or second home and relocating to this amazing area.
