The house was perfect for people traveling with children. There is a huge fenced in back yard with lots of toys. There is a fire pit area that the children roasted marshmallows in. There was plenty of room and space for everyone. The house is very clean and had anything you would need. I highly recommend it.

Comfortable home away from home for large family, and friends. Clean, all necessary kitchen equipment, to cook full course meal. Plenty of dishes, glasses and coffee cups/mugs. A/C works perfectly. Lots of puzzles,games and books, for adults and children. A natural yard filled with nature and animals. A fire pit ready for a fire, however we did not use due to drought conditions. A deck to enjoy that nature while doing yoga. Plenty of parking. Would stay again if need arises! Thank you for sharing your property.

We were in town with a teenage family member in the ICU at the UNC Children's Hospital. This home was the perfect answer to allow for rest, family meetings, meals, and everything we needed to make it through a difficult situation. The owner was very responsive and understanding of our needs. It is a mile off the beaten path, but this turned out be a blessing with the quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac. It was also very convenient to the hospital, shopping, and the basic needs of our group. Highland Comfort has a great layout that gives everyone some privacy when they need it, plus plenty of spaces to gather. It was clean and comfortable with all the modern conveniences. We hope to return under better circumstances.

The property was generally nice and as described.Our only issues is that there were ants in the kitchen when we arrived, some of the provided snacks were over a year expired, and that the owners had people over in the backyard working on the shed during our stay (and windows without blinds in the bathroom/shower the workers could see into).But the experience was otherwise pleasant and suited our needs.
