Neighbourhood

Very quiet neighborhood. Home resides in a dead end cul-de-sac. A great neighborhood for walking. There is a park within walking distance within a mile from our house. A walking trail is part of the park for a great workout. Nearby is a local restaurant called Crossroads Grill. They have been featured in magazines as having the best hamburgers around! https://www.facebook.com/share/161UsNuHfR/?mibextid=wwXIfr.

Getting to my home

Charlotte Douglas Airport is only a little over an hour away from our home. If you don’t have your own transportation, renting a car is the best mode of transportation to travel to our home and to use while you are vacationing here.

Feedback

  • We were delighted to host Linda and Dale as guests in our home on their very first People Like Us home exchange. Communication was easy and prompt throughout the entire process. They were thoughtful guests and left our home in excellent condition. We had an opportunity to meet in person and look forward to our stay in their lake home next October. If you get an opportunity to exchange with Linda and Dale, just say yes!

  • Thank you Barrie! Thank you for providing us the best PLU experience we could have ever wished for! Your home was truly an OASIS and getting to meet you and Dave in person was the icing on the cake!

My husband and I are both recently retired. I worked as an educator for over 32 yesrs. I’ve taught elementary school and served as a school counselor at the elementary, high school and college levels. I was an in college administration at the community college level when I retired. My husband recently retired as a District Court Judge and worked in private practice as an attorney prior to that. We have 2 adult sons who both live in Raleigh, NC. I can’t forget our furry addiction to our family whose name is Fenway. He is a very spoiled rat terrier who loves to take walks and enjoys a good belly rub!
