Russ and Hillary were wonderful hosts. I could live in this space. Their daughter was the genius designer of the space. No expense was spared in this conversion. It was clean, comfortable, and enjoyable. My husband was at an early music clinic all week at the University across the road. I sat on the deck in the glider working on a pineneedle basket. I would recommend this property to anyone and would stay there again if in the area. There are gorgeous day trips in any direction.

Sweet Cozy Studio!

My husband and I stayed here for orientation weekend at WCU and we loved it. The rental was beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed the coffee and drinks that were provided and loved the mirror in the bathroom! We hope to stay here again when we visit our daughter in the fall. Thank you Russ for allowing us to use you space, we thoroughly enjoyed it!
