Enjoy the shade under the pecan trees on hot summer afternoons. Listen to the crickets at night. The kitchen is fully equipped for meal making. Linens are 100% cotton. Ceiling fans in most rooms. 10 minutes to Jacksonville and great lodging for those visiting the military bases of Camp Lejeune, Camp Geiger Air Station, and Stone's Bay. 20 minutes from beautiful Topsail Island. 50 miles from historic Wilmington. 45 minutes to local wineries, (Duplin and Huffman). Guest access Washer and dryer on the premises for guest use. Other things to note Take a break from the TV but keep up with your life via the WIFI connection. This rural location is usually very quiet but there is occasional noise from local military activity, farm animals (rooster crowing and donkey braying), and gospel singing from the old church across the street (mostly on Sundays).
