Historical home in beautiful setting
Our family spent a week here and had a great time. The pool was definitely a highlight for everyone. The grounds are beautiful. It was very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed dinners outside under the lights. The house had plenty of room for our party of 8 adults and two under 2. We had lots of room for board games and for the kids to play. Wonderful porches to sit outside and enjoy the beauty and read and relax. Definitely a fun and relaxing vacation. Owner was very quick to respond.

Wonderful North Carolina Gem!
I rented this property for an event and it was hands down one of the nicest venues I have ever rented. Beautiful, a great get away for our group. Comfortable, all the amenities you need for a large group or a family. Laurie was a dream to work with and made everything so easy. Any event I have in NC- I would consider this venue. Beautiful grounds, plenty of room, an extra cottage on the property that can be rented for more guests. 100% I will be back!

Beautiful house and awesome place to stay!
Our son and daughter-in-law were married in the area so our family and her family stayed together at the house. We sponsored the rehearsal dinner there. It was perfect. The house is just as advertised, beautiful and roomy. The outside grounds are gorgeous. It was like being at home. Every attention to detail was thought out. Laurie was awesome to work with. She was so helpful and very attentive to all our needs and questions. We highly recommed this property and will most certainly stay there again.

Forgetting about life for a while
Everything we expected! We wanted a place to stay, unwind, recharge, let loose from life's current challenges. Very private and charming home and property. We had 8 adults and 2 young children. Everyone had their own space. We cooked/grilled every meal. The large pool was our center for fun. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Private pool and rural setting a plus
The house was great, and the private pool was amazing. One of the rooms is a lot smaller than the others, and there is no picture of it. With kids, it wouldn’t be a problem…but with only adults someone will have to draw the short-stick. Glass is not allowed at the pool (with good reason), so make sure you bring plastic cups. Plenty of seating at the pool, plenty of towels available.

About the host

Hosted by laurie barwick

Host profile image
I am one of 7 children. My brothers and sisters and I inherited this amazing place from our parents. I am the farm manager and love every minute of taking care of it! Throughout my life, until I was an adult we lived in town but we spent every weekend with my family on the farm riding horses, planting gardens, playing, etc. In 1993 My father convinced my mother to renovate the house and move here permanently. It is still a special family gathering space we all enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Our property is a shared family home. Our large extended family has spent countless days, weekends and holidays on this property. It exudes warmth, charm, and comfort. There are thousands of happy memories we will always cherish. We hope you will choose to stay with us and make your own happy memories!

What makes this property unique

Private estate with beautiful vistas, in-ground pool, hiking, etc.
