Super location

We spent a month in the woods. It was refreshing to be able to go hiking every day without having to drive a long distance. The town of Troy is close and the folks are friendly. The grocery store has everything you need and the daily fresh cooked food is amazing. Your tastebuds will thank you if you go on the day they make lasagna. Although honestly every item is homemade and worth the trip “into town “.

Farmhouse

It was not cleaned very well we found an old towel hanging in one of the bedrooms and chapstick on the floor in the other bedroom, we did not have enough pots and pans to cook but we made do, the one skillet had mouse droppings in it now we understand mice can get into your home but it couldn’t have been checked, the owner was a very nice person and the place is very nice but it was hard to sit on the porch and talk during the day because your right by the highway and traffic all day. Outside hasn’t been cleaned up there were two broken trees with branches everywhere , there were cobwebs everywhere even in the house. We would like to stay again but hope it’s cleaned up and more dishes

Good location

Stayed here for the weekend to go trail riding at Uwharrie. Positives: House is close to the trails and the outpost. Queen bed was very comfortable. We had enough room to park three trucks with trailers and three Offroad vehicles. Negatives: Could use some work. Front door and bathroom door are difficult to open. Fridge was dirty. Water pressure is horrible.

Disappointed

The property needs some maintenance. The foliage is way overgrown in the front and back. The front storm door is broken and doesn't shut. Both the front and back door are extremely hard to open and shut. I wasn't strong enough to open the back door by myself from the inside. I had read in a previous review that there was a grill. The host confirmed it but it was so rusted that it couldn't be used and the grill tools were left outside. We went to a local store to purchase an inexpensive grill when we arrived so we could grill our meals as planned. As a previous review mentioned, there is quite a drop off between the road and driveway. I have a Toyota Corolla and my car was fine. There is a smart TV with free Wifi and movie channels, which was a nice plus. The property is close to the trails, which is what we wanted, but I would not rent this property again.

Cute & Cozy

The cottage really felt like home! Arrived to a very clean, nicely decorated space with comfortable beds (which was greatly appreciated after a long backpacking trip). It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend together in our most favorite place, the Uwharries. Looking forward to our next stay :)

Nice little spot

I was looking for a small spot near a state park and this fit the bill perfect. It was clean and had a hot shower which is all I needed. Right next to a light-traffic highway, so it was quick to get places, but not loud and overwhelming.
