Bed and Breakfast - A Vacation Rental Alternative

Do you love the ambiance of a vacation rental cabin in the mountains, but aren't that crazy about cooking and cleaning? Consider a Bed and Breakfast Inn. Many innkeepers allow you to rent the whole place for your large family, special event, or family reunion.

The Windover Inn in Waynesville, NC offers luxurious accommodations and a delicious breakfast, beautiful wraparound porch and gardens, and personalized services to help you pull it all together. With eight spacious and private rooms, it might just be the right alternative for you.

High Point, NC Experiencing Real Estate Growth

You may be either trying to sell a house, trying to buy a house, or know someone who is. I know some of you don't live in High Point nor do some of you even live in North Carolina but I believe this information will still be of use to you.

Let me assure you that North Carolina and, particularly, High Point is in great shape. We do not have the same conditions to which the national media is referring when it comes to foreclosures etc. Please reassure your friends and family that High Point, North Carolina, among many other places, is a fantastic place to buy a home right now.

Recent headlines about local conditions have been wonderful.
- this area attracted 3,100 new jobs in ’07
- the Thomasville-Lexington area was selected as the nation’s #1 micropolitan area for attracting corporate projects.
- the High Point metro area was named #1 in the nation for it’s size category for attracting new industries.
- High Point is the most competitive city, in the most competitive region, in the most competitive state. For more economic development news, please go to: www.highpointedc.com/news.cfm .


North Carolina has ranked 5th among the highest population growth and only 25th among foreclosure rates. What does this mean? People think NC is a worthy place to stay and we can afford to stay. Furthermore, you will note that 2-3 of the states that ranked above us in population growth are also in the top ten in foreclosures.

Thanks for your time and I hope this information is reassuring to you.

Florida Migration

For the second year in a row in 2007, Atlas Van Lines moved more people out of Florida than into the state, reflecting what Floridians are seeing everyday – friends and neighbors moving away. Where are they going? Apparently many Floridian’s agree with North Carolina’s tagline, “A Better Place.” Analysts say the migration to the Carolinas and other adjoining states such as Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee has to do with a lower cost of living and other expenses including property taxes, insurance, and impact fees.
