Close enough to town to park the car and walk to Dining Places, plus to take the Carriage Ride through town to see all the Christmas Lights & mingle with so many friendly people from different areas. The Christmas Spirit has really arrived in Forest City, NC. !!!! Oh, back to the Lodging, owner met us as we arrived with a smile on her face, showed us the ends and outs of the Lodging which is seperate from their home, but is super clean and comfy.
