Adorable home w/ huge back yard- minutes from Belews Lake. Amazing Hidden Gem

*Look no further. Minutes from Belews Lake, our beautifully decorated cottage welcomes you to rejuvenate and refresh. We offer a cozy, country stay close to the Carolina Marina, wedding venues, DanRiver rafting, quaint wineries and other recreational experiences all within a short drive or stay home and enjoy the back yard.

**Your rental proceeds supports our non profit 501 c3, so thank you for picking our home over investor vacation rentals. Our desire is to make your stay as comfy as possible, so please reach out with any questions or ways we can help.

**We offer a fully stocked kitchen with serving pieces that go above and beyond a typical rental (since events occur in the additional barn we have everything to throw a great party.)

**With three (or four) bedrooms, we've maximized the indoor living space with four queen beds and a twin daybed in the fourth bedroom that doubles as family room/bedroom. Two full bathrooms with one of them located in the master bedroom. **Due to allergies, this is a non smoking and no pets allowed property. Please do not book if either are needed amenities.
**A big back yard and huge deck offers plenty of space for lawn games and gatherings, plus we have outdoor tables, comfy seating areas with sofas and chairs, as well as an outdoor fire pit.

Throughout this year, we are continuing to work on the large backyard as we turn it into a special place for all the community gatherings.

*Additional large gathering space (pictures shown) is available with donation and is a perfect spot if you want to host a family reunion, company picnic, shower etc. All proceeds support local non-profit community outreaches and it helps further our mission.

As an event planner, please reach out if you’d like to plan a special gathering here.

**Washer and dryer are available in a storage section of our unfinished basement but only for those staying four or more evenings. ***Outdoor security camera is placed down driveway.

Wedding Week Tranquility
This beautiful cottage served all of our needs the week of our daughter’s wedding at The Longhouse in Stokesdale, but most of all it was a place of peace and tranquility where we could enjoy some quiet time with the bride and maid of honor (our daughters). We felt so at home and our host, Jennifer, was so attentive to our needs, checking in with us often to make sure everything was perfect. What a very special and inviting space. With much appreciation.- The Newmans

A True Gem
I booked this cottage for a weekend get away to celebrate my grandson's 10th birthday. I was traveling with my family including two grandchildren. The home was exceptionally clean and well stocked. We honestly didn't have to leave the house except for food. I loved this home. There are so many inspirational displays throughout the house that I loved. The beds are very comfortable and there is nothing lacking in comfort needs.

GREAT VALUE! Clean, comfy, cozy!
We thoroughly enjoyed our short 3 day stay. Easily space for 7 and no one will feel cramped. Very nice little touches. Even though this was a short stay, this cottage had everything I look for in a vacation home, plus cute little perks here and there! Jennifer has excellent communication, she is very helpful and responsive. Bi-Rite grocery, three miles down the road is GREAT. They have everything. Home has a great outdoor space. Bring your choice of mosquito repellent and sit outside and enjoy the space. Would definitely stay again.

Spacious Comfortable Home
We had an enjoyable stay and highly recommend this lovely home. The beds were extremely comfortable with nice large rooms. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with all the dining necessities. The house is set back from the main road with a beautiful outside sitting area with a view of the lake.

Gorgeous cottage!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is gorgeous and very cozy, we all felt very comfortable. There wasn’t anything we needed. The host even had makeup towels with little chocolates. ☺️Speaking of the host…. She was great! Very kind and gracious. I would highly recommend this place if you’re in need of a house near Greensboro or Winston Salem.

Great stay!
We had a very nice stay! We were in town for the JR Olympics. It was about a 30 min drive to Greenboro stadium, but it wasn't bad. We would stay again if back in town. Owner is very accommodating and very prompt to respond. Property: was just as listed. Sits back off the road so you have to drive slowly upon arrival to find home until you get acclimated. There are a couple of neighboring houses, but not too close very easy to stay our of each others way. Nice neighborhood-- reminded me of country living :). There were 7 of us over the length of our stay 3-60 years of age and the home worked great for ALL of us! Plenty of space to spread out, and a huge yard for play. Nice full kitchen for our stay which had everything we needed. We used stove and Keurig bunches. We only purchased our groceries and storage items (foil, plastic wraps, tupperware etc.) Rooms- nice size we LOVED the 4th bedroom/den it was cozy and great for movie night or gameboards. There were lots of little extras (cleaning supplies, snacks, soaps, etc.) for our use. Great stay would stay again!

We needed a place for family, coming from out of state, for my son’s wedding. The home was clean, well stocked and as described. They absolutely loved it and thought it was beautiful! This will be my go to anytime family comes to visit! We appreciated the hospitality and immediate communication if I had a question.

What a gem!
This was the cutest cottage ever! Jen the host was amazing and had so many great ideas for things to do during our stay. Every question I had was answered immediately. The cottage was very roomy for our family of 5, very comfy bedding and linens. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of supplies. We boated one day on Lake Belews which was so clean and beautiful. Another day we took a drive to hanging rock park and took a short hike to the lower cascades waterfall and then swam in the river at the public beach. Ate at the Deck one night, great food right at the marina! I absolutely recommend Jen’s place to anyone looking for a great relaxing time. Note that there is no washer/dryer on premise but it wasn’t an issue for us because we were there only 3 days. This was a stop on our way to Myrtle from Pittsburgh. Highly recommend!!!
