Historic 1910 Mill House - peaceful w/lake view
This is our go-to for staying in the Graham NC area. We have stayed there many times, and it is always the best. Very comfortable. EV Charger. Convenient to everything in the area. Mike is incredibly responsive. Best AirBnB experience ever.

Cottage at Water's Edge - a cozy stay on the lake.
The cottage on Cedar Lake near Sanford is a perfect spot for peace, quiet, and relaxation. The place is well appointed and clean. Beds were comfortable, which is one of the most important things for aging people when traveling.

Nice older home just as described, Joshua was a great host . Nice fishing in the pond out back, we caught and released quite a few fish,. We didn’t have any issues while we were there , Joshua checked in a few times with me which was much appreciated. We will stay again when we are back in the area.

Waterfront 2 Bedroom Unit
Thank you for a great stay! I came into town to spend time with family at our annual family reunion. We really enjoyed your house, it was very cozy and welcoming. The full kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook and make meals for the reunion. We will definitely look for you on our next stay.

Lovely two bedroom apartment, close to downtown.
I give it 5 star, it not mean it’s good. there’s no hot water for the shower. I tried many times, but it just wouldn’t get hot. The other faucets have hot water, but not the shower, which is really strange. So, I haven’t showered for five days—it’s miserable. There are two rooms. The one near the door is nice and quiet. The inner room, however, is very noisy—every time the air conditioning turns on, it makes a loud noise. Plus, there’s no blanket in this room. I eventually found one in the cabinet, but it’s thin—not really a proper comforter. Pretty rough experience.

Charming Studio #1 w/Walking Trails-"Farm Time"
The Farm Stay studio was perfect! It was beautiful and bright and cozy, with gorgeous views of the farm and pond. The use of space was incredible with every amenity needed available. Great shower as well! Betty sent us so many ideas of places to see in the area and was a wonderful host! We hope to stay again when we return to the area.

Cozy Loft-style Apt *Lake Access*
Felt Like I was HOME!! Very nice, clean she was very nice and responded quickly to any questions I had!

Guest room in lakefront artist retreat!
Afika’s Beacon House is an art treasure on Lake Cammack. The location is perfectly situated between town and country here in the heart of North Carolina Piedmont. While still under some renovation during our stay, the house was warm and comfortable. All the amenities were complete, and what’s more, our host went out of his way to ensure that we felt welcome and were made comfortable the whole time. Be warned that one ought to be cautious of the wetland landscape alongside the lake, especially off-season. Visitors should bring and use proper footwear while hiking on lakeside city property nearby.

Warm + Peaceful Home w/ Fire Pit on Haw River
We loved our stay at the Mill Cottage. It was the perfect base camp for us as we travelled to Pittsboro and Silk Hope to visit family and attend a funeral. The Hobbs family was extremely friendly and accommodating. We loved the views and sounds of Terrell’s Creek! We hope to return for our next visit with family!

Cottage on the Lake
A serene, relaxing setting right on the lake. Comfortable, clean accomodations. The hostess went above and beyond to make our stay the best possible. Every detail was attended to. Would definitely go back.

Falls Lake Cottage@Rolling View w/hot tub&fire pit
This was such a gem! We celebrated Easter with family and it was so nice and comfortable. The decorations and layout of the house is perfect. Very accommodating hosts. Would love to stay here again!
