Our hosts have great taste- the house is beautifully decorated and the gardens surrounding it are exceptionally lovely. They thought of everything we might need and made us feel welcome and at home. Amazing birdwatching is close by at Pungo and Mattamuskeet wildlife reserves. We highly recommend! ##### Virginia C. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brianna K. Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Coziest Cottage Ever The property was something out of a fairytale novel. It was so cozy and cute. The host provided everything you could want in a rental and more. The organic egg basket was very appreciated. The stars you can see at night are mind blowing. And the space heaters throughout were perfect for getting comfortable with the colder weather. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking. ##### Brianna K.

The cottage is surrounded by trees and gardens which makes it very private. The property is surrounded by peaceful farmland. It is conveniently located about 15 minutes to Belhaven and Bath, and 30 minutes to Washington. We had two fine meals at local restaurants and enjoyed exploring the area. ##### Suzanne B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lawrence S. Sep 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful relaxing layover Family and I were on a 15 hour road trip and this relaxing cottage is exactly what we needed to rest in between our two driving days. The place was clean and well stocked with much needed coffee. We walked the property and enjoyed all the beautiful flowers and nature scenes. We then got a great sleep and hit the road again. For us this is much better overnight scenario than a hotel, the kids dont sleep if they are in same room, so we had plenty of space to spread out for the same price, and wonderful hosts. ##### Lawrence S.
