We were in town for a wedding and had my adult children with us. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. we liked how they eyes the interior but kept much of historical quality of the home. The front porch was very comfortable and was a great place to enjoy our morning coffee. They had several options of coffee and creamer and even had a latte frother. I would highly recommend this home and would stay there again if we were in the area.

The most remarkable aspect of this property was undoubtedly its prime location, which played a pivotal role in our decision to select this home. However, a closer inspection revealed that the property was in need of significant maintenance. The bedroom walls appeared unfinished, with visible cracks and areas requiring patchwork and fresh paint. The carpets upstairs were dirty and stained, and the bathroom sink was obstructed by hair. Furthermore, it was apparent that bugs had taken up residence in the home before our visit, as their presence could be observed on various surfaces throughout the house.

Came to town for HPU orientation and stayed at this home two nights. Absolutely ADORABLE, lots of seating, space and places to relax...especially the front porch! Beds were VERY comfortable and fans are in each room. Location was so close to everything and loved their recommendation book of coffee (SO CLOSE BY) and dining. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

We came in town for the women’s ACC Tournament. It took about a half hour to get to the stadium but that was ok. We loved the house but some of the ladies have trouble going up and down stairs. Since all the bedrooms were upstairs it wasn’t a perfect fit for us but we made it work. But the house was perfect, we all loved it very much.

Had an amazing Christmas Holiday with the family. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. I was so impressed with everything in the house. There was even a Christmas tree set up when we got there which was very exciting to the little ones. Will definitely book again

This beautiful home was centrally located near all our events for a friend’s wedding. Self check in/out was made easy with a key code. The welcome basket & other amenities were very nice. The home was very comfortable, spacious and nicely decorated. We enjoyed relaxing here between events. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The owners have done a wonderful job restoring a historic home to a lovely level of comfort and design. Many thoughtful amenities were included (kcups, snack basket, hairdryer). The linens and mattresses were high quality. The front porch is as beautiful as pictured and perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Super close to High Point University so it made for a great stay for family weekend.
This is a great VRBO property and communication with the owners was pleasant and responsive.
My only suggestion would be to figure out a landscaping solution to the backyard. Shade from a large tree prevents grass from growing so the ground is either very dry dirt or wet and muddy after a rain. Since this was our main entry and exit, we felt that we were tracking a lot of dirt into the house. Not a huge concern but would be a great addition to have that addressed somehow.
Hoping we have another family trip to HPU to allow us a return visit to this lovely home!

Beautifully decorated home located conveniently in High Point. The house had all the amenities for an easy stay. It's a spacious home with room to gather together and room for privacy. It was perfect for our Girl's Weekend getaway!

Shh! Our experience was so nice, we are inclined to keep this a "best-kept secret" so we don't have competition for future availability! The hosts thought of everything you could need for a short stay. The house decor is absolutely beautiful, and the Christmas touches throughout were a very welcome touch...and can we talk about that porch swing? Come on! We can't wait to plan a stay when the weather is nice so we can take full advantage of that! The bedrooms were all comfortably furnished, and we loved coming in from the cold weather to enjoy the coffee bar in the kitchen. Aside from a lovely home, we appreciated the prompt replies to our questions from the hosts. We definitely recommend this rental! Thank you to our hosts!

Absolutely perfect!
The location of this home was perfect. Close walk to restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Our meetings were at High Point University and it is a close 5 min drive. Parking is available and easy
Fully stocked and beautifully decorated. Kitchen was stocked like a home not a rental. It was easy to cook full meals. The front porch is great for a morning cup of coffee or afternoon wine. Back yard would be great to hang out around the fire.

The Perfect Beginning
My brother and I planned a 90th birthday trip for our mother, starting in High Point. Kerry & Ryan’s home was absolutely beautiful with no detail overlooked! The front porch was our favorite spot for morning coffee and afternoon relaxing. We would absolutely recommend the Johnston’s home for anyone looking for luxury and comfort away from home. Thank you Kerry & Ryan we loved your house!

Gem in High Point
We stayed at the house for our daughter’s graduation from Wake Forest. The house was perfect- so cute and comfortable. It had everything we needed and was so much better than staying at a hotel. We loved gathering in the morning on the porch for coffee. We had a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Home!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights! 6 of us came from different parts of NC to share time together. The home is beautiful and wonderfully appointed with everything you need. Through the course of our stay we had a couple of questions for Ryan and Kerry and they were remarkably accessible and helpful. We highly recommend this location and would stay again without thinking twice about it!!

Family reunion
The online listing is what sold us but even considering how great the property looked, it exceeded our expectations. The hosts jad decorated the house for the holidays with a couple of Christmas trees, beautiful holiday table settings, lights and and impeccably decorated house. The whole house seems so thoughtfully appointed. We came from as far away as California and up and down the East Coast and loved our visit there. Nicely done.

My husband and I shared this home with another couple.. several choices for socializing. Backyard fire pit, front porch seating, and spacious den. The kitchen is well appointed and quite large.

We loved everything about this house!!
This house is very comfortable and decorated beautifully! It was great to be able to walk to restaurants, enjoy a fire pit, catch up on the front porch, sit around the kitchen island with friends, etc! We all loved it and our youngest loved swinging in the backyard! We look forward to coming back when we visit HPU!

The property was perfect for our move-in of 2 daughters to High Point University; it takes minutes to get to campus! It was also located close to local restaurants, recreation, and entertainment.The home is historic, with modern, updated decor. The weather did not allow us to use the lovely front porch.We appreciate the owners allowing us to bring our dog. She would have benefitted from more grassy areas in the fenced yard, which was muddy from storms. Thank you.
