Great Home Base

This house worked great for us. It was close to family in the Apex area. The kitchen was well equipped, the house was clean, and the property was in good shape. It's an old house but that just made it that much more interesting for us. The only challenge we had was we wish there more bath towels.

Weekend stay

I would have loved to give this property 5 stars. It’s a charming house in a great area. However there were several downsides. The beds are incredibly squeaky — which I guess could add to the old house charm but we found it to be a bit much. The pool is nice and well kept, but as others have said there is a great deal of road noise. The backyard also had an unpleasant odor. My biggest disappointment ended up being with the homeowner. A piece of the dishwasher was detached upon our arrival which we informed her of but ended up being blamed for.

Old World charm home with a pool!😊👍🏽

This home was ideal for our family of four. It was clean, spacious, and quite comfortable. The pool was lovely to take a dip after a hot summer day. Judith took meticulous care of the pool as well. Great stay!😊👍🏽

Cute, peaceful house outside of all of the hustle and bustle but still close enough to drive into town for anything you need. Loved the character of the old house. Everything was very clean. Appreciated the owner cleaning the pool every morning.

Great visit with friends!

Booked this lovely historic home for friends when they visited for book club weekend. The property accommodated everyone comfortably and the location was a short drive to my home. We all enjoyed an afternoon in the pool. Perfect time of day to go in since it was partially shaded. Check in was smooth and Judith had it ready a little early so I could sneak over some goodies for my gals. A great time was had by all!

Charming but not secluded

The pluses to this house: The pool is in good shape and well-cared for. Close to Crosswinds boat ramp for boating, kayaking, SUP. Bathroom upstairs is bright and charming. Judith, the host, is amazing and on top of things. The house in its entirety is very historic. Steep stairs, some loose floor boards, limited room and storage space in kitchen. Those things can be challenging with small children. The highway is literally 100 ft from the pool so road noise is plentiful. Bring a Bluetooth speaker to drown that out. We had fun and enjoyed Jordan and Falls Lake during our visit.

Beautiful stay at Jordan Lake

We loved our stay here. Judith was incredibly responsive, the attention to detail was impressive, and the level of order and cleanliness were second to none. The home has everything a family or small group would need for their time, and the charming mix of history and modern amenities make this a great choice for anyone. The yard also feels like a sanctuary, and completely private, all while being seconds away from access to main roads. 2 thumbs up to Judith and this lovely, historic property.

A wonder get-away!

Our family had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the cottage. The home is quite spacious, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for creating family meals. We loved the pool and used it everyday. I was particularly impressed and inspired by the grounds and the gorgeous plants throughout the property. I would LOVE to say here again. The only slight downside is the noise from the road, but we barely heard it when we were in the house. If that kind of thing bothers you, maybe bring a fan our other white-noise option.
