The owner (Nancy) was awesome. Due to another owner cancelling at the very last minute, I was in a crunch to find something. Upon seeing the property available, I reached out and the immediate, cordial communication flow began with Nancy. The home is as described. It is a bit of an older home but has all of the charm, space (inside and outside), and amenities needed for a family gathering.

There was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfortable and the bunk room was enjoyed by the kids.
Everyone enjoyed the pool.
Nancy left snacks on the counter for us, and she responded quickly to my messages.

Our family traveled from Kentucky to Charlotte for my granddaughter’s graduation. We were greeted by balloons and a graduation gift! Nancy communicated with me throughout the entire stay! The neighborhood was amazing. We were only minutes away from shopping! The home was BEAUTIFUL and well kept! We were so comfortable! It felt like home!!

The property was exactly as described and PERFECT for our family and friends! There were 11 of us in for our son's wedding. From ages 10 to 79!
Nancy's home provided more than enough room and was everything you could imagine!! We arrived to a super cute peg board congratulating the new Mr. & Mrs., lots of fun snacks and also a personal note on the chalk board. I am a very detailed person so this meant the world to me! From beginning to end, Nancy ALWAYS answered every question right away. The home was very clean and it literally had anything and everything you could need for a wonderful weekend. Just bring clothes and food!The host provides tons of extra linens and there is easy access, a great convenient neighborhood & the property is GORGEOUS!!! I could continue on and on!! ALL 11 of us were VERY HAPPY with Nancy's home!!! We can't thank you enough, Nancy!!

Beautiful Charlotte Family Home
I can’t say enough nice things about this home! We came to Charlotte for a family vacation with small children and wanted a city with plenty of activities to choose from. We had to have a house with a pool. This pool is the largest single family home pool I have ever seen! Bigger than some hotel pools. The home is so large and has plenty of choices of places for people to gather or be separate if wanted. Huge bedrooms, most with their own private bath! But what made this house better than any other VRBO home is the amenities. Nancy went above and beyond with supplies. We didn’t have to use any of our own toilet tissue, paper towels, kitchen items, even had coffee, Keurig, tea, fully stocked spices, sugar, everything you need to cook. It is so conveniently located to any activity you want to do. Nancy responded to our questions right away. I would give this home a 10 if I could!! Thanks again Nancy!!

Large house - great for family gatherings
We all loved the pool - it was the perfect week-end for it. The kids loved the downstairs area - that was their main hang out and my kids wanted to take the whole area home with us. The bedrooms are all large and the kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook meals. We spent so much time on the large back porch even when it was hot - it was nice there was a little fan out there and the whole yard is very private. Nancy was very responsive and answered all questions - there is a grocery store and cvs very close by.

Simply AMAZING
I wanted something private but with entertainment options for my daughter's 15th birthday. The place was ideal with a private pool. The hostess was so nice and answered me back through text almost immediately. The house was perfect for the age groups that accompanied me. From 2months to a twenty six year old, to two older women (lol), we all had a ball. The cleanliness of the home was great, the area was ideal, and the couple of near by eateries were pretty good. I would suggest this home to anyone that wants to feel pampered and well taken care of.

Excellent Property in Quiet, Attractive Neighborhood
Our group very much enjoyed our stay in Nancy's property. The large home was clean and well equipped. Nancy was very responsive to any questions. Check-in was easy. The home sits on a beautiful, forested lot. We particularly enjoyed the expansive, private back porch. The pool was also very nice. Great home for a large family gathering.

Nancy was a great host!! Thanks!!
House is very large and was perfect for our group. Nancy went above and beyond what I’d expect from a host. She was very quick replying to any questions that I had. She also put out some special decorations for our group which was an extremely generous touch! The property is huge and the pool was perfectly clean.

Beautiful settings fantastic house
I rented this house with my siblings for a family reunion. The location was perfect for us and the house had everything. The kids loved taking a nature walk around the property, the pool and the games in the basement. The adults loved the kitchen and the patio.

Blown Away!
This was my first time using Vrbo. I’ve always stayed in hotels. My family and I were all able to be together and enjoy each other. The amenities were amazing. Comfortable bed, soft towels and beautiful area. The pictures do not do this place any justice. Thank You Nancy!

Property was old and dirty. Roach infested. Smelled of raid. Over priced.
Owner did not give us a full refund despite roach infestation. Place was disorganized, smelled of raid and mold. Light bulbs dead. Tv not working. Dirty pool. Over priced. Vrbo was helpful.

Beautiful and serene
We had a wonderful time: me, my husband, 2 year old boy, 4 year old boy and 4 month old girl. Also my parents came along and helped with the kids. The backyard is like a secret garden escape. My boys loved taking nature walks multiple times per day. There’s also a beautiful large pool to swim in. Backyard even has a campfire area. House is full of everything you may need. We used “babyquip” to rent baby items and some toys for the kids. It was an amazing service to boot cuz they worked with Nancy to get into the house and have all setup for us. Wonderful stay!!!!

My stay was absolutely phenomenal! Our host was gracious, kind, and extremely compassionate.
The house is beautiful just as stated. What is understated is the outdoor living space and the creek area with petite bridges that cross. You over to the outdoor oasis that is the yard and fire pit. I am runner and the neighborhood is just stunning but the deer....ahhh what a beautiful place to visit. I love it so much I am going purchase a home in that vicinity. Thank you for loving on my family in the manner that you did. Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated❤️
Sincerely,
Shawntelle

Great house. Great stay.
The owner was very attentive. There are dozens of board games and plenty of pool towels. The house was comfortable for a family looking for a COVID-friendly respite. No reason to leave the property.

OMG!
We had a wonderful stay Charlotte. The house was amazing and the location is perfect. Very thoughtful welcome snacks were provided. The house had everything you needed plus some. Draw full of spices, everything you need to bake. Girls made brownies and banana pudding. Plenty of space for our party of 6. Nancy was an awesome host! It was me, 2 girlfriends, and our 3 teenage girls. The girls enjoyed the game room and the pool. She had everything in that game room. Pool table, foosball table ping pong table, Wii, and Xbox. The girls really enjoyed themselves. They swam all day and game room all night. Whenever we had a question. Nancy quickly responded. We had issues with the grill she immediately came over and changed the tank. The house is absolutely lovely! Our only regret trip was way too short.

Beautiful Home
Property is absolutely perfect. So many little touches that we've never gotten at other rentals. We had so much fun at the house we really didn't explore Charlotte as much as we thought we would!

PERFECT!
You couldn't ask for a better property or home owner to rent from!
Super easy check in. Amazing first impression. Exceptional neighbourhood. Wonderful greeting of treats and coffee.
My girlfriends are made up of moms and grandmas. Every year we pick a location and meet to have some fun downtime, be silly and enjoy our company without kids or husbands. Charlotte and this house couldn't have been a better decision.
The house is huge and breathtakingly beautiful. We used the pool and sat on the comfortable deck a lot. We saw deer pass through the property and we listened to the sounds of the nature which was so soothing.
When I asked my friends for any possible negative feedback there wasn't any. We absolutely loved this house and all it had to offer. We wouldn't hesitate for a moment to stay here again. We just left on Sunday and I am already missing staying here.
Thank you for such a pleasurable stay.

Family Fun
The house was great. There was plenty of room and enjoyed the complimentary coffee in the morning.
The one thing was the pump on pool wasn’t working but we were still able to use the pool.
If you need a large house in the Charlotte area..I would definitely recommend this house.

Five Star Home
This property has it all!!! From the adults to the kids, there was something for everyone to enjoy. We loved relaxing on the large deck while the kids played in the pool. The basement game room was entertaining for the whole family, as well as all the child hood board games and the foosball and pool table. The rooms were spacious and were equipped with Amazon tv’s so we were able to watch our favorite shows/movies on Netflix and Hulu. The hospitality was unmatched, we had all the basics to cook our meals, all the toiletry and some welcome snacks were available upon our arrival. This house really felt like a home, plenty of space to stretch out and relax. If you have children, this home is perfect for separation or family time depending on the time of day. We visited Carowinds which was a quick 20 minute drive, Walmart is within 7 mins, and other stores are super close. I would stay here again and recommend this home to anyone who wants some great amenities in a quiet neighborhood but also close to everything. We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit due to rain on the last day but be sure to bring some serious bug repellent since it’s woodsy. Oh and if you wake up early enough you can greet the deer on the property. The owner was available for questions any time of day and was very pleasant to deal with.
