About the host
Hosted by Hines & Sarah Scott
Hines and I, (Sarah Scott) call Snow Hill, North Carolina, home – a town that echoes simplicity and genuine warmth. As small-town people, we deeply value life's simple pleasures, and you'll find that essence reflected in every amenity provided at "The Cottage." Here's to embracing the beauty of simplicity and creating lasting memories together.
Hines inherited this beautiful haven after his father's passing in October 2020, and much like his dad, Hines has a heart for sharing. He cherishes the idea of creating a welcoming space, not just for friends and family, but for kindred spirits seeking a peaceful escape by the sound. That's why we've opened our doors to guests on VBRO – to extend the warmth and joy that "The Cottage" embodies.
We find joy in sharing the experience of creating lasting memories with other families. From sunrise to sunset, the echoes of laughter and shared moments are what make this place truly special. It's not just a house; it's a home that carries the legacy of love passed down through generations.
When the house is not rented, we share the home with our family and friends! If you find a stray dog toy in the house or yard, fear not, we bring our three golden retrievers every time! They add an extra layer of warmth and joy, just as we hope your stay at "The Cottage" will be filled with moments that create bonds and stories to cherish.
We look forward to welcoming you to "The Cottage” and sharing the love, laughter, and serenity that make this place a haven for all who step through its doors. Here's to creating memories that will be enjoyed for generations to come!
