>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IMPORTANT: Parties, events, or gathering OF ANY KIND ARE NOT PERMITTED at our home. ENTIRE PROPERTY IS Non-smoking, inside and outside. Guests are NOT PERMITTED to bring a grill onto the property.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
We've installed a new taller FENCE, extended the backyard PATIO to have a larger eating and hang out area since families love the yard for the kiddies (adults young at heart) and dogs to run around. :)
We named our place "The Queen City Jewel" in honor of Charlotte's nickname "Queen City" and the use of color throughout the house to honor a queen's jewels. ;)
When you walk in the door to the beautifully designed living & formal dining room. You will immediately notice how spacious and relaxing the vibe of the place is. Color splashed around the house that speaks to the youth and modern designs of today.
The home has a Security System that will make your stay stress-free. There is a doorbell camera facing the front exterior of the home.
Ample driveway fits 4 full size cars and street parking.
OUR HOME IS IDEAL for larger groups as we can sleep 13 people or those wanting a very large house to spread out.
We're both for vacation renters, corporate rentals, traveling workers and those relocating to Steele Creek, South Charlotte, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Tega Cay. We're only 5 min from the main highway to quickly access those areas.

What a wonderful house. Plenty of space in a great neighborhood. Quiet and in such a beautiful area. Highly recommend this property if you are planning on staying in the area!
We visit NC to attend our daughter's graduation from college for nursing. The home was spacious, clean, great neighborhood. They were nice to let us have a graduation dinner at the house for our daughter. Love the big yard and it was just a cozy stay for the family. Would most definitely staynagain!
The house was perfect for our family trip to Charlotte. There was plenty of space and everything we needed for our start. We also really appreciated the big backyard for our two dogs. We will definitely stay again next time in Charlotte. Highly recommend!
This property was exactly as listed. Top condition, spacious, clean, stocked with extra, excellent location and quiet neighborhood. Host was delightful and always available for communication. Fun place to stay and just being there rounded out our vacation with family.
This place is exactly as described! The owner is very responsive and left clear instructions. It was conveniently located to restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations. My kids went to Carowinds and it was nice to have a short drive home after being in the park all day. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!
2 of our employees stayed there while working in the vacinity. They are both on diets that don’t do well with eating out every meal, and I came up with this idea! They said the house was great, beds were great, very comfortable after 12 hour days. The kitchen was well equipped, the location was perfect.
the owner takes excellent care of the property and clearly cares about the tenants. Very responsive, cozy, my kids were happy, the dogs had ample space to run. Really a great place for our family to crash while we’re in between housing.
Property was well equipped. Furnishings were basic, but comfortable. House was in a good location for our needs. Neighborhood was a bit dated. Immediate neighbor has an outside dog that continuously barks.

Nice location to Carowinds and a very nice backyard with games and awning for cover. Home has steep stairs and can comfortably sleep 10 upstairs. One child slipped on stairs as they are bare wood. One towel per person was provided. Wooden floor was dirty as we had to throw out socks they were so soiled. After that we wore shoes indoors. We also had to purchase fry pans as those provided were extremely worn and need to be replaced. Otherwise adequate kitchen items provided. So overall it was a mix of good to fair. A few immediate improvements could go a long way. Also had a glass with a chip in it. In the end we had a good visit but will not make our list to return.
The house is totally adorable. Cheryl takes excellent care of this property. The bedrooms are very clean and comfortable. Cheryl also was really thoughtful when she stocked the house. I especially appreciated the coffee maker and supplies! The bathrooms were stocked with towels and toilet paper, as well as soap. She even had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in both full bathrooms.
I was most impressed with the fenced in backyard. The fence is gorgeous! I brought my dogs with me since I was having work done in my home. I live locally, and was challenged to find a comfortable place for Both my son and my dogs.
Cheryl was also very responsive when I reached out for questions. She worked with me in my unique situation to make sure I had a safe space.
I can’t say enough about this property, the owner, and the space itself. When I have more work done on my Fort Mill home, this will be my absolute first choice!
Overall this was a good property & met our needs for our stay. The house was spacious & the neighborhood was quiet (except for a frequently barking dog next door). Rooms & beds were decent. Kitchen appliances, utensils & laundry were adequate for our use & this location was very convenient to shopping, Carowinds, & a variety of restaurants. Fenced back yard was a big plus. We did have a few issues, however, with this house. We were there during a pretty cold week - & the HVAC system for a 2 story house operated on a single thermostat on the first floor. This resulted in consistent & significant discrepancies between the temperature on the first & second floors. Challenges learning how to change the programmed cycles also resulted in waking up to a cold house, with the thermostat set at something in the 50s. (By the middle of our stay, we did get this figured out, but it made those mornings quite uncomfortable). While there, the ice maker never worked nor did the light over the kitchen sink. We did not call the property owner/manager for these issues because we didn't want someone coming "at any time" to address them. (we had a rescue dog who was still unpredictable around others). One trundle bed sheet was stained & trash was found under the bed. The TV in the big bedroom could not be synced to either of the remotes in that room. It would have been nice to have tissues and extra towels available, but we provided those ourselves. We would consider this property again.
My family loved this place it was so convenient to get around. We spent a day at Carowinds and it was amazing. Venturing out into downtown Charlotte for dinner was a great experience. We will definitely take another trip to the park.
