I stayed at this property for just under a month. The house is quite large in size, but still has a cozy feeling. I enjoyed the overall layout of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen was small, but had pretty much everything I needed for a long-term stay. The master bed is a bit too soft, and the two single beds are firm, so there is definitely a choice where to sleep based on the comfort level you prefer. The outdoor deck offered wonderful views, but I didn't have a chance to use it too much because of the traffic noise from the highway. The house is offset from the road a bit, but since it is a 55 mph road, the noise from semi trucks was pretty distinguishable, even at night. With that said, this was the only negative that I have to note about the house. The heating and air conditioning are central and keep the house at the temperature you are comfortable with. Outstanding internet speeds allowed me to work from home without an issue. Download speeds were around 80 Mbps and upload around 50.
I didn't get a chance to meet the host until the last week as they were away and my interaction with them was limited, but they did leave a gift of their honey upon check in and offered me some eggplant from their garden when I met them. The properties on either side of the house appeared to be vacant, but were well taken care of by the landscapers. The neighborhood felt safe to me. The nearest grocery store is about 15 minutes away with a greater variety of stores in Wilkesboro. There are a few walking trails in Wilkesboro that I frequented and another trail in Lenoir. Wineries are about 45 minutes to an hour away and offer a great way to spend the weekend. There was not much of a restaurant scene, but I enjoyed the town of Blowing Rock located about 45 minutes away.
Overall, and above average experience. I would definitely be back.
