If cooking isn’t your thing, there are some great 

in our area of western Harnett County in NC. Five miles from our lakefront home, the neighborhood favorite local restaurant is The Copper Cricket Irish Pub, pet friendly on the patio, and just a quick drive from our gate (take a left once you leave the gate and it’s down on the right).  Since opening in March of 2017,  the Copper Cricket Irish Pub has been our favorite local place for dinner and drinks. Owners Tom & Andy Cole have done a terrific job of creating a welcoming and authentic pub atmosphere. The outside patio is perfect for social distancing and pet friendly! 

The Twisted Grape, just down the road on Hwy 87, is another local favorite, owned by Carolina Lakes residents. El Burrito (Buffalo Lake Road) is great for Mexican fare. Miss Lacy’s Magnolia House tea room in Sanford proper has great food and is a fun experience for Southern tea in a 100+ year old Victorian home. If you like browsing antique stores, check out the town of Cameron and have lunch at the Dewberry Deli (old fashioned soda fountain and amazing desserts — call first to check the hours). 

There are great options in Fayetteville (Circa 1800, Antonella’s and Luigi’s are all great), Sanford (La Dolce Vita for lunch or dinner, Kathy’s Java Express for breakfast, Karma for coffee, The Flame for an old-school steakhouse) and Southern Pines/Pinehurst (195, Sly Fox, Ironwood Café, Ashten’s, Elliott’s on Linden, Dugan’s, Curt’s Cucina and so many more!). 

shop (with great muffins and lunch, and now ice cream!) is Jitterbugz, located on Buffalo Lake Rd. (take a left once you leave the gate and it’s down on the right) or Coffee Scene (coffee, food and gelato!) a bit further south on Hwy 87. 

And you’ll find all of your favorite chain restaurants nearby also. Numerous 

 places deliver to our neighborhood (Marco’s, Papa John’s, Dominos, Dino’s).

A native of North Carolina, our wonderful lake community was our primary home for fifteen years. Now as a retired military family, and self employed, we split time between our homes in NC and FL. Crowe's Nest, our lakefront vacation home near Sanford, NC, is pet-friendly and close to Fort Bragg for military families, not far from Pinehurst for golf enthusiasts, and a wonderful place to be outside and reconnect with family. Guests enjoy amazing sunsets, lake fun with kayak and canoe, and a comfortable, welcoming, custom home. 

In Pensacola, Five Flags Retreat is a spacious, pet-friendly, 4 bedroom home with a large back yard. Just minutes from Downtown Pensacola, close to NAS, and 13 short miles to the white sands of Pensacola Beach, you can enjoy all the area has to offer. After your busy day, retreat back to the comfort of Five Flags for dinner on the grill.

I hope to give our guests the little details that I appreciate when traveling. It
