My husband, our dog and myself thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the beaton-powell home! Lisa was an amazing host and went above and beyond. The house is beautiful! The room is very spacious as well as the connected private bath. It was very clean and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable. There were lots of little extras that were appreciated during our stay (shower supplies, kitchen supplies and treats, reading materials....) There was a screened balcony with a homemade swing that was lovely to sit on in the morning with a cup of tea while watching the birds fly around. She was very welcoming of us bringing our dog. Our dog loved being able to run around in the yard and there were plenty of nice walks to be had around the area. There are some quaint shops right by the house (boykins beans and ice cream was a nice stop.) Lisa was always quick to respond to our airbnb messages and had good suggestions for things to do in the area. Staying in this home was one of the highlights of our trip. I would definately recommend. :) Thanks so much Lisa for opening up your beautiful historic home to us!

Once again I can not say enough about my stay!!! By far the best AIRBNB experience so far. I miss Ellie already!!!!!

No

Lisa was very friendly and communicated with us in advance about exactly how to get to the house, and to warn us that some people do not get cell signal in the area. Lisa had a friendly smile, clean room, with clean linens and towels all waiting for us. Everything in the listing description was accurate, or modest. We had a busy weekend, and so we did not spend much time in the neighborhood, but it seemed charming. The house itself was beautiful, and interesting, full of character. I have never had private wifi so fast. The temperature of the room was left up to us, and we kept it a little cool since we had so much outdoor time planned already. There's a beautiful balcony to rest on as well. In the room there were snacks, a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker.

Staying at Lisa's home was like visiting an old friend, and her warm welcome and friendliness was great after a day of traveling. The house was a real historic home with lots of stories. My room was clean and huge, with everything you could want - snacks, AC, wi-fi, a fridge, writing table, and even a clawfoot tub. I am so glad I found this place, would highly recommend it!

We had such a great time at the Beaton-Powell House and could not have asked for better hosts! Lisa made sure we felt welcomed and had everything we needed. We adored Ellie, her faithful doggie companion, and are going to miss them both!

Lisa's home was (URL HIDDEN) was beautifully decorated and she was a gracious and helpful host - even when the door locked defeated me! She was sweet enough to even share some yummy pumpkin bread for breakfast. The room had amenities to spare. My only regret was not taking a long bath in the beautiful old tub!

Lisa is a very nice hostess. the town is very quirt, the house is old but comfortable, the dog and cats are very lovely and friendly. Lisa provide much snacks for us. A good restaurant named Hungry Rooster is just 200 ft on the opposite street. my 10 years old daughter was very happy to stay there, with the pets.

Another great stay! We were beat after a long day of driving, and wanted to get an early start in the morning, so we had to pass up Scott's great breakfast. He was kind enough to pack us a care package for the road, though! Hope to stay again in the future!

I enjoyed everything about my stay! The quiet country location, the comfy bed/bed linens, the shampoo, bath wash, hair dryer amenities and the outstanding hospitality. Scott's freshly made pies and tea where the perfect antidote for a long drive under rainy conditions. Breakfast (eggs, bacon, fruit, orange juice and pastries) was delicious and the conversation stimulating. But they really out did even southern hospitality when Ronald set me up with one of his own cat's odor eliminating litter boxes and extra litter for the rescue kitten I was transporting. These gentlemen are thoughtful, kind and generous hosts that made the weary traveler in me feel at home and well cared for. They have my highest recommendation and my continued patronage.

Scott was a very welcoming and kind host. We arrived late and he prepared some food for us after a long day of driving. A beautiful historical home that makes for a great overnight just off of I-95. Very quiet and comfortable as well!

Scott was terrific, the perfect place for a weary traveler.

Please, please stay with these two! This was such a beautiful home, the hosts were so accommodating, and they even made us an amazing breakfast the next morning! We will definitely visit again!

The only thing that exudes more Southern charm than this well-appointed, lovingly restored historic home is the hospitality of its hosts.  Set in a quiet village right off of I-95, the house with its eclectic collection of antiques was a surprisingly delightful break from hours of highway driving. The rooms were large with comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the hosts' family ties to the house. Our hosts were very responsive to our requests and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

This is the 3rd time I stayed here. I feel like it is a real home away from home now.

I only stayed for one night while to pass through the area. In just one night, Scott displayed as hospitality as you expect from a southern gentleman. A bad storm delayed my arrival, but he gladly welcomed me after his 10pm checkin. Made sure I had everything I needed before I passed out from a rough night of driving. In the morning, I realized that I left my toothbrush in the car. Well, he had one in the bathroom already for me so I didn't have to go out in the car in the middle of the night to get it. It's those little details that make your stay worthwhile. The breakfast was lovely. I could hardly see anything the night I arrived in the rain and dark, but the morning drive out was gorgeous, something out of a dream. There's something eerie yet mystical about an early foggy morning in the countryside. Not to mention, the house itself was beautiful! It reminded me of home.

Overall Great Place for a hang out with family and friends. Texie was very helpful during the entire duration of stay.

Very nice! Will definitely return

Fourth trip back, When in town we will always stay with Jill. Thanks Scott

Jill is a fantastic host. She communicates well every step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was wonderful. Jill is well traveled so is a great conversationalist and enjoyable to visit with after a long day. Her home is spacious and she had everything from snacks to toothpaste waiting! It does not get better than that! Thank you again. This was a great first experience!

Jill is a wonderful host. The accommodations are in a completely separate unit is in a lovely and safe neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again. Couldn't be happier! Scott

Another great visit for this week. Thanks Jill

Carlissa is a great host and we really enjoyed our time at Glen's place!

Great place to stay after long drive down I-95. Everything well prepared. Our son really love their toys ;)

This was a great spot . Not fancy but very spacious and comfortable. The host family were very helpful and made us feel very welcome . We will stay there again. Check out the Bank restraurant easy walk and very good food.

I had a long stay here, for a work assignment. It is a very charming old house! The bed was pretty luxurious, and I slept incredibly well. The kitchen is well stocked with coffee and snacks. The house is about a 3 minute walk to my favorite restaurant in Emporia, 'The Bank '. And Carlissa was such a kind and responsive host. I hope to stay again on my next work assignment.

Great place to stay for a road trip. Charming, comfortable apartment and Carlissa was a responsive, hospitable host.

This was a great place to stay. The location was very convenient and easy to find. Carlissa was very good with communication, even though it was a last minute booking. Our kids loved the toys and having some space to play after a long day of driving.

Carlissa was a great host. I stayed at this location for 4 weeks and she would come in once a week to change sheets and tidy up. They also had a drawer of toiletries in case you forgot something. My only complaints would be that it's an older building so there was a little bit of a musty smell. Also the water tastes a little funny but she left plenty of bottled water in the fridge for me.

This place is perfect if you're taking a long drive down I-95 and need a play to stay overnight to rest. Loved it!

If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy Mother Nature, check out this secluded cabin. The views are breathtaking and you are far away from everyone. Great hosts too!

Lovely Cabin, very quiet place with a beautiful river behind it. Perfect place to get away from noisy city life.

We were unable to actually stay at the residence due to the amount of dust and humidity in the house. However, the house is true to the pictures. A warning that there is no cellphone service and it took us about 20-30 minutes to get cellphone service back after we left the residence. Kaitlin was willing to work with us and responded to us with in minutes of us messaging her.

We absolutely loved the place! Too adorable and just like the pics. It was a steep climb down to the dock but the dog loved swimming in the river and the claw foot tub in the cabin was too charming! Bring bug spray and you have everything you need!!

This was a wonderful little private spot on the Roanoke river. It's quite and peaceful. Make sure to bring your fishing poles!

Great location, very clean and well furnished mini apartment. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I, visiting from Niagara Falls, stayed almost a week in this lovely house. It was clean, nicely decorated, and was well supplied with everything we needed. It was a great meeting place for nearby family to gather for meals, hanging out and monopoly games. The outside space was wonderful. Loved using the swing and table and chairs were perfect for morning coffee. If it had been alittle cooler, we certainly would have had a cookout and used the grill. The location was very convenient. In the future we will check the house's availability, before visiting family in the Ahoskie area. We have stayed at Jernigan House and Flanagan House and Hardison House in Edenton on previous visits. All were wonderful!! But at this house, we had a special place for everyone to gather and have a great visit. Thanks to Debbie for helping make this visit a pleasure.

The home is very clean, cute and comfortable. I stayed for 3 months during a travel nursing assignment. Very close to local hospital and shopping. Super quiet neighborhood.

Modern, comfortable and quiet trailer in a charming country setting. We were grateful to be able to come back to this place each night over the course of our visit. Supermarket, restaurants close by. A nice, private alternative to local hotels.

Cindy and her family are super nice! We loved the rv and how remote and quiet it was. Our 5 and 6 year old had an amazing time playing with bugs and mud and feeding the horses and doves! We would definitely stay there again.

We were greeted by Ace (dog) and Jim upon arrival. Cindy was unable to be there. She text and apologized, it wasn't a big deal. Jim and Ace did well presenting. After meeting both Jim and Cindy I am happy to say they are pleasant and kind people. It is an RV as described. Had more seating then I would have expected and according to Jim can sleep up to 6. My wife and I stayed with our 18 month old. He slept in the "living room." I would not recommend staying there with young children who are not sound sleepers because if you have to wake up to use the toilet, the floor from the master to the bathroom is squeaky, as well as the bathroom door. The carpet was either old or not vacuumed, which is my only negative about our experience. My wife though, didn't think the surfaces were cleaned very well. I suppose that is a difference between men and women? The linens were nice and clean. Cindy had snacks and beverages available, which was completely unexpected. We didn't have any issue with Ace waking us up. There was noise outside that sounded like a generator late at night but I found it soothing to fall asleep to. It was a quiet 2 night stay. I would recommend the RV to others. Thanks Cindy.

The host canceled this reservation 39 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Cindy and her family were very helpful and very friendly, and never intrusive or pushy. The camper we stayed in could easily have been mistaken for a quality hotel room. When we arrived the camper was stocked with some much-appreciated snacks and drinks, as well as linens and bathroom supplies. Kitchen appliances were clean and effective. We loved the camper. We also elected to take horse vaulting lessons from their (nationally ranked) son. He was a great, amicable teacher and we had a lot of fun. The horses were all really pretty and really friendly too!

This venue was exactly what we were hoping for- a comfortable place to sample rv living that was also close to a variety of attractions. Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Colonial Williamsburg are all within easy drives. Our hosts were very gracious and generous with their time. Cindy, Jim and their children made us feel truly welcome as they went about their day to day, explaining the workings of their farm. We arrived to snacks and cold drinks waiting in the fridge. The clean nicely appointed kitchen was complete with coffee maker and coffee as well as dishes and utensils. There was comfortable master bedroom, linens and towels for the shower as well as a spacious, cool living area. The rv was private, despite the rv being located right next to the house. If you have a laptop, the lack of tv won't be an issue since you can stream via their guest wireless connection. I only wish we had found a place like this when our kids were younger because they would have had a fantastic time. I know we did.

Great first time experience with Airbnb! We wanted something different when heading down to Virginia for a short vacation and stayed at Cindy's RV for 2 nights. Loved it. The RV is really nice with lots of room, plus shower and kitchen. She even included snacks and drinks in the fridge, freezer, and cabinets. We were greeted by Lucy who was an amazing little hostess who showed us around the RV and the property. The horses and doves were really neat, and the property was relaxing. Some great stargazing at night! Next time we'll take some vaulting lessons! Thanks!

Cindy is very helpful, friendly and she was patient with my questions. The RV is really comfortable. The location is great, close to the charming town of Suffolk and Norfolk. Great for relaxing at the farm. Thanks for the cake!

Wow - much more space than expected. The home was spotless, and everything you need was present. Even delicious homemade banana bread! Great place to stay for multiple days.

You have a lovely place. We enjoyed our stay very much. Very clean and we'll equipped. You did great job on transforming the old house.

Our stay at Bennett's Creek Guest House was fabulous. The house was clean and comfortably decorated. Something about that combination allows me to take a deep breath, relax, and be refreshed. I did not want to leave and return to reality. After leaving, I had left some items behind. I contacted Denise and she made a way for me to return to get my belongings. Thank you very much, Denise! And I must mention the banana bread that she provided. It was delicious. Denise really goes out of her way to be the best hostess possible. Thank you very much! We will return.

This house is absolutely gorgeous!! It's very clean, homey, and quiet. I love the neighborhood and my host was so sweet! Thanks so much for the banana but bread and Orange juice. It was a great snack for the long drive. I will definitely come back when the opportunity presents itself.

We arrived for 3 day kayak trip in Gates County at around check-in time. Key was in lockbox as promised. Lovely cottage, stocked with all we needed for our stay. Only a few miles drive to Merchants Mill Pond park. We had a wonderful time. There is a small kitchenette stocked with plates, bowels, cups etc. It was fine for the simple meals we had prepared beforehand. 2 burner hotplate, little counter space. Gatesville is a food desert, no grocery, farm market, restaurants, nothing. As health conscious vegetarians we brought in all our own food. The cottage sits pretty close to the little country road. Apparently forestry and logging is the main industry. We were awakened early by the rumble of loaded logging trucks. But we got used to it and fell back to sleep. The rest of the neighborhood is peacefully quiet!

Loved every second. Can't wait to come back!

Denise's place is lovely - very clean and well equipped. Would stay here again!

Fantastic once again. I only have a week or so left here in Gatesville and then I'm off to Elizabeth City. I wish so much that I could take this comfy adorable perfect little cottage with me!!!
