Summary: Laura and Brad are wonderful, caring hosts. We stayed at the house for medical treatment at Duke. The location is super convenient to the hospital and the state park. We loved adventuring into the woods and to the river and creeks straight from the driveway. The house had everything you needed. It truly felt like home for my family in a very challenging time.
