We live about an hour away, so it's possible that my parents who live 5 minutes away could chip in to assist if necessary.
Emergency contact details are on the refrigerator for easy viewing and access once in the home.
The street itself is a charming mix of different homes and families, many that have been there for generations. It has a country feel with all the horse farms nearby.
Down the road is Manly Presbyterian Church, which has been serving the community for 140 years. It's also where my grandparents met!! (4 min walk.)
One more block and you can take in the breathtaking views of expansive horse farms and big skies.
Turn the other direction and you can cross the train tracks to the local brewery, Southern Pines Brewing Company (8 min walk). BHAWK distillery is a short drive down the road.

TRAINS: The passing trains are a feature of the home. Though we have never woken up to the sound of a passing train, please be aware that you could hear one or more trains during night hours. For this reason we provide earplugs and a sound machine, but please bring whatever you need for you and your littles to sleep comfortably. (The train goes right through downtown, so this is a common noise heard throughout town - but not everybody gets to wave to the trains like we do!)

If you need to use a high chair during your stay, please let us know ahead of time. We do not currently offer a pack n play. Check out local gear renting businesses, there are lots!
