Cute place, but very damp
This property was an accurate depiction of the online photos. The location to High Point and HPU was great! The place was old, needed a few repairs but was very clean. The property was very private and quiet. My only complaint (but a big one) was how damp the home was. It smelled heavily of mildew and was so damp that our clothes hanging in the closet and in our suitcases stayed damp. The air worked great and kept it cool, it was just always very humid. The home could use a dehumidifier at the very least and to solve the problem the basement really needs to be addressed as that’s where we decided the moisture was probably coming from. The owners were pleasant.

Great vibe but trip cut short
We loved the place and were looking forward to our stay, but our trip was cut short unexpectedly. The owner was very helpful and communications were excellent. I wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks you Tod and Melanie!
