They live Waxhaw and with no hotels nearby it's often difficult to see them as much as we want when we are in town. This house was the PERFECT location. Close to my brother and his family and about a block away from the cute restaurants, stores and bars in Waxhaw. This property is all about the location, and the front porch. We even got to sit on the porch and watch a storm one night. We had a great experience with the owner. The photos reflect exactly what to expect in the house. We would stay again. ##### Sarah W.

Not having stayed in Waxhaw before, we weren't sure where to stay. But we hit the jackpot with this gem. The house does take you back in time, which is an extraordinary experience—loved the front porch and swings! The one thing we didn't know was how close it was to town. Walking distance to everything. We never drove once we got there. Hopefully, you, too, can enjoy this lovely home. ##### PAMELA K.

It is beautifully and comfortably decorated with excellent tv and internet service. The host is easily contacted and responds promptly. The only concern (large for me, unimportant to most) is that there is no bathtub. ##### Danna A C.

We had family coming in town for an engagement party, which unfortunately we had to cancel the night before- due to the impending snow storm. We never actually even had the chance to use the VRBO, but I want to share a review because of how incredible Amanda was to work with. She was quick to respond to emails, incredibly friendly and helpful, and was so kind to not even charge us a thing due to the unexpected cancellation. I told her we will 100% be using her place the next time we are in need and will recommend to anyone I know that needs a place to stay. It's wonderful when you are able to find someone so great to work with, and I want to give her a fantastic review for anyone else looking in the future! ##### Shelley S.

We loved walking into the house and seeing a Christmas Tree with lights and decorations as well as other holiday decor! We appreciated the extra effort to make it feel like the holidays for us. Everything we could needed was available for us. Communication with owner was excellent and very responsive. ##### Mary R. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ---
