If you venture out to Davidson, be sure to check out Summit Coffee! They have especially great coffee and a fun beer and wine selection too. Grab some coffee, take to the streets, and soak up all the small town charm that Davidson has to offer.

Adventure
A short drive from the house, but big fun! The owner is great and knows his paddle-boards inside/out.

Ok, this is a trek but totally worth it. Great for families and a good excuse to get out of the house. Where else could you hike, bike, kayak, and jump off a 100ft platform (for fun?!) all in one day. They have a great food and beer selection too if you get hungry for more than adventure.

Getting around
Boat Rental!
I don't have boats for guests to use, but there's a great dock and plenty of local places that will deliver a variety of boats (from paddle boards to pontoon boats). Check them out!
Here's a really great resource:
