For several years our family has rented homes through VRBO.com. It has always been an adventure and we have stayed in wonderful and sometimes interesting places.
Christmas 2016 found us in this house in Penrose, NC. It is a renovated farm house and was beautifully decorated. We were very fortunate in this house to meet the builder, who told us the history of the house and the farm. As they were renovating neighbors would come by and share stories about the family who lived here and memories of things that went on here. We also got a chance to meet the current owner who came to be sure the cows got back in the pasture (that's another story).
I think the fun and interest in staying in houses when we travel is to explore the culture and lifestyle of the local surroundings. This one was really great!
Fantastic pic! Great to learn the stories behind the images. I live in a heavily populated area, and it's always nice to see shots of a much more quite and peaceful lifestyle.
We have done some of this also (vacation house rental). Stayed at a wonderful house in Tennessee with a great mountain view. Your scene looks so idyllic!
