Our family stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday, and we had a wonderful time! The house is so well stocked and every detail has been thought out. Beds and bathrooms were very comfortable and we loved the large living area. The owner was very communicative and sent us lots of advice about the home and the area!
I was in town for business. The place was clean, homey and comfortable. I especially liked the lazy boy in the master bedroom. The property managers live below and helped me with shipping and receiving important packages while I was in town. I just can't say enough about how great this place was.
The house has an open layout giving it a spacious feeling. Plenty of big windows bring in lots of light as well as provide beautiful views of the surrounding woods. We stayed during a heat wave. The AC was wonderful. And when we had big thunderstorms and lost power on two nights, there is a backup generator for the house. It came on quickly and quietly. Three of the four bedrooms have king size beds, which is always nice. Two bedrooms are downstairs and two are upstairs. Upstairs has a large, carpeted room with two three-seater couches. It is perfect for lounging, playing with the grandkids or meditating. We did all three! The kitchen is modern and well appointed. A washer and dryer are also on the first floor. The master bath has both a large tub and an enclosed shower. Plenty of room to pamper yourself. The second bathroom, also on the first floor, is a more standard size with all new fixtures. Two porches (one out front and larger one off the Dining Room) are the perfect place to have your morning coffee or a quiet dinner. Our hosts couldn't have been more pleasant. They answered our questions quickly and cheerfully. We would stay in this house again!
This property was exactly as advertised. It was warm, accommodating, had everything you would need and more. I would highly recommend using this property for your stay in this area.
We felt right at home in this light-filled house. It was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Our hosts quickly and cheerfully replied to our questions. We will stay here again the next time we visit Buckingham!
This is a very nice and clean home. The views are awesome---lots of trees and green space to unwind. There is a Food Lion about 20 miles away.
