General Overview
The home is on a 3-acre property and it always feels like vacation around here!
We are close to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, a few ski resorts, lots of disc golf, golf courses, pickle-ball and tennis courts around us. Lakes to kayak are easy to find and access (we have kayaks for use), as well as plenty of beautiful camping and hiking opportunities all around us.
Pick up a game of badminton, or relax in the hammocks for absolute peace and quiet. If you fancy a night out, crave take-out or are in the mood for shopping- just exit the street and you are right in town!
Make your home away from home in our beautiful, convenient & quiet neighborhood.
The Space
The home has 3 main bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom. The basement has 4 bunk beds, lots of toys, games & a large TV with Wii.
Each room is spacious and inviting. In the backyard, you will find a gas grill, a comfortable deck next to a fire pit and an acre of woods for some relaxing nature time.
Under the sunroom you will find a little patio with a TV for outdoor sports watching, a large picnic bench on the upper deck, and a lower deck with seating next to the gas grill.
We have a trampoline and zipline in the backyard as well, plus lots of yard games like badminton, corn hole, and swingball.
Guest Access
Access to the home is by keypad. Parking is fairly easy and plentiful.
Notes
We have 3 indoor-outdoor cats. They use a cat door and do not use a litter box. Depending on the length of stay, they might need clean water and food, and perhaps occasional love if they feel like it. The youngest is the most loving and will probably love to snuggle anyone with a lap.

Neighbourhood
Our neighborhood is very quiet. You will often see deer in the backyard and in the street. Our street ends in a cul-de-sac and with only 19 homes, it is very peaceful and friendly, but right in town and only minutes away from gas, grocery stores, etc. About 15 mins from our sweet little buzzing downtown, the Arts district and the Innovation Quarter.
Getting to my home
Finding us is pretty easy! The gps will bring you right to our driveway with no difficulty. Winston-Salem is about an hour northeast of Charlotte, 2 hrs east of the famous & gorgeous Asheville, 2 hrs west of Raleigh-Durham and in what is called the NC Triad- forming a triangle with Greensboro and High Point. We are less than 20 mins from major highways, including I40, US52 & I285. Getting around is easy & traffic is mild.
Nearest airport
GSO Greensboro 40 minutes
CLT Charlotte Douglas 1.5 hrs
RDU Raleigh-Durham 1.5 hrs
Getting Around
We have plenty of affordable ubers available out this way, but no public transport nearby. Having a vehicle will be your best bet. We can potentially swap vehicles if needed.

Liezel’s home was a peaceful and joy-filled stop on our cross-country travels to Canada this June. From the moment we arrived, we felt at ease. The home is beautifully maintained, spacious, and thoughtfully set up for quality family time. One of my favorite spots was the serene blue room with the comfy white couch and bright windows — a quiet retreat I looked forward to each day. I spent most evenings in the hammock while the kids enjoyed the trampoline, relaxed in the hot tub, and ran around the yard watching deer and wild turkeys pass by. We also loved picking fresh blueberries right on the property — such a treat! The music room brought us all joy, and the kids had a blast playing the Wii during downtime. We also used the cozy basement area for homeschooling and arts and crafts — it was the perfect setup to keep learning and creativity flowing during our travels. Although the house feels tucked away in a peaceful and private area, it’s conveniently located within 10 minutes of city stores and anything else we needed. The neighborhood felt very safe and quiet, which was so important to us. We’re so grateful to Liezel and her family for opening their home to us. It was more than just a place to stay — it was a space to rest, connect, and make memories. We would absolutely stay here again and would be honored to host their family in Alabama anytime! — The Aaron Family -
Liezel's home was the perfect home base for our 4th of July cousin-meet up. The house is incredibly spacious and had plenty of room (and toys!) for our 7 kiddos (so. many. kids). Our older kids loved the en-suite bathrooms (priorities) and the littles were all about their basement "apartment". Everything in the house is organized, labeled, and very intuitive to use. But as perfect as the house is, it pales in comparison to the yard! Y'all, if you're outdoor people like we are, do not sleep on this swap! Our kids spent almost every waking moment in the gaga ball bit, on the zip line, exploring the trail around the property, picking blueberries, jumping on the trampoline, challenging the adults to a giant kickball game...it was straight from a 90's coming-to-age movie. And all the outdoor time gave the adults lots of opportunities to make use of the many outdoor seating areas, fire pit, and sunset patio. When not at the house we enjoyed river tubing and swimming at the nearby Hanging Rock State Park, but honestly, there was so much to do at the house that we stayed hunkered for most of the trip. We're very grateful to Liezel and her family for giving us the chance to make memories with our family in such a beautiful space.
