LOCAL AREA:
Magazines and historians recognize the road coming into the property as one of the most beautiful roads in North Carolina, with a canopy of live oak trees dripping with Spanish Moss. Gause Landing is the site of the famous George Washington Tree, where our nation’s first president vacationed in the 1790s. You’ll see it on the way in and out, whether you travel by car, golf cart, bike, or scooter! The road is narrow and curvy, and peaceful and quiet. You’ll wish all roads were this beautiful!

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Yes, we advertise that this home "Sleeps 8," and it definitely can and does. 2 queen beds, 1 full bed, and a sleeper sofa. However, please keep in mind that the home has one bathroom, and it's only about 1179 square feet total. This home is a "cottage," and if 8 fully grown adults showed up for a week with 8 fully grown suitcases, then it will absolutely be a little cramped. The ideal amount of humans for this size space is probably 6, but it will fit 8, especially if some of those people are not fully grown adults. Pet fees are $75 per dog, and if your OTA does not support multiple pet fees, we will collect it separately before check-in. NO PUPPIES, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, and more breeds- PLEASE REVIEW THE FULL LIST OF RESTRICTED BREEDS BEFORE BOOKING.

After booking, we will send you a Red Carpet Rental Agreement to sign to complete your reservation. It's a no-nonsense Agreement that protects the guest, host, and the property, and is allowed within the policies and guidelines of all travel booking platforms. The Agreement will come to you as a link, and we require all guests to sign it to rent any of our properties, no matter where the reservation came from. You will have to upload a copy of your government-issued ID to complete your reservation. This property requires a $300.00 SECURITY DEPOSIT. It will be collected as a credit card hold separately by the property prior to your arrival or at check-in.
