Top Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area Hotel Reviews

Modern And Cozy House In The Heart Of Hillsborough

10/10 Excellent

"I’d recommend this place. This was recently updated and had everything we needed. The location worked well. It was a bit noisy at times being on a busy street. Close to downtown which was active when we were there. Good food and art along with nice trails to enjoy but we needed to drive to them. In the master bath it is a tighter squeeze to get into the shower but it was all new. It all worked."
