Comments: (1/17/12) - "Phyllis and Julia were great hosts. I'm definitely coming back. The stall for my horse was large and clean. They had an outdoor and indoor arena available. It's off the beaten path, but definitely worth the trip."

Comments: (8/31/10) - "We didn't have horses but if we had one this is the place I would bring it to.". . . (3/31/11) - "Travelling with two horses out of the country seemed to be a daunting task. Coming from Ontario, Canada to Florida we knew we needed a place to stay with our horses. When I spoke with Karen the first time I knew everything was going to work out just fine. When we arrived we found the facilities for the horses and us to be beautiful, just like the photos on the website. After our two weeks in Florida we even arranged our return travel plans to include Parkside Bed and Barn for a second nights stay. I can't wait to return when I have more time to enjoy all that is offered at this amazing horse and human country retreat.". . . (4/1/11) - "I have been to lots of horse motels, but Parkside bed and barn is by far the best! I rate this barn a 10 out of 10!! I would recomend this b&b to all who pass through North Carolina! I love this place and look forward to coming back next year!". . . (4/4/11) - "We have stayed with Karen twice now and would highly recommend Parkside Bed and Barn. The barn is so clean and beautiful I would have slept with our horse except the house is even better!". . . (7/26/11) - "We LOVED the horse facilities. Our Arab gelding was thrilled with the opportunity to stretch his legs after a long trailer ride. The spacious pasture was perfect for letting him really stretch out and tear across the field - he ran around for about an hour. The barn was gorgeous & immaculate. Jimmy settled in quite comfortably for the night. The house was beautiful and welcoming. The generous "breakfast-to-go" was very much appreciated because of our early start in the morning. We will definitely be recommending this place to all the horse people we know."

Comments: (6/17/07) - "We stayed with Leslie and Bob, going and coming back from NYC. They were really wonderful folks, and very helpful to us. Their facilities are new and extremely clean and well organized. They are only about 3 miles off of I-95. A great location, and not hard to find. I would heartily recommend their place to anyone needing lodging in the North Carolina area. I really enjoyed meeting them both, and was very impressed with their knowledge and barn facilities. They really helped me out quite a bit, and I am beholding! Thanks, Leslie and Bob!". . .(3/6/08) - "Beautiful facility! Great stalls with small self-turnouts, round pen and trails. Close to I-95 and a variety of hotels within easy distance of three exits.". . . (2/28/08) - "Really nice people, great barn stayed there twice!". . . (10/26/10) - "Strongly recommended. Easy access. Very clean and comfortable. One of the best places our horse has ever stayed at while traveling. Great host.". . . (5/6/11) - "This was our 3rd time here and it was again a great stay. Leslie went above and beyond when our truck broke down 2 exits from her. She came and picked up our trailer and horses and found us great people to get us back on the road the next morning even though it was Thanksgiving eve. Thanks, Leslie & Bob."

Comments: (9/10/03) - "Very nice people, would be glad to stay there again.". . .(6/28/04) - "Patty went above and beyond by meeting me at the road with a flashlight to help guide me into her facility at 2am! As usual nothing goes smoothly when travelling with horses and our arrival was hours late! She was courteous and friendly and made sure my horse was settled in and gave me directions to hotels. I have never been so grateful! I don't think I could have driven another mile!". . . (7/19/04) - "Super, nice people.". . .(4/29/05) - "Patty, Dale & Stefanie were fantastic! We were moving to Florida from New Jersey and needed a place to overnight. We had never trailered our two horses anywhere before and were very nervous about hauling my 23 year old mare such a great distance. Consequently, that was why we decided to trailer them ourselves. We arrived tired, exhausted and nervous about the entire experience, but the Nunnery's quickly made us feel right at home and our two horses settled in immediately. Patty monitored the horses carefully. I particularly appreciated receiving her monitoring card and comments the next morning (the "girls" enjoyed the treat). While the stalls were slightly smaller than expected, the personalized attention and cleanliness of the barn made up for any deficency in size. We would certainly recommend Horstel for your overnight in North Carolina.". . .(11/20/05) - "Patty and her family couldn't have been more helpful. My mare was a bit colicky on arrival and they stayed up with her most of the night while we got some sleep. These people are absolutely the best you could hope for!". . . (10/1/07) - "My teenaged daughter and I recently traveled roundtrip from FL to NY for a horse show and had the opportunity to spend the night at Patty’s both going up and coming back. It was our first long distance trip and she made it extremely easy for us by being an extremely gracious and accommodating hostess; even when we arrived very late in the evening on our return trip. Our horse’s stall was ready upon our arrival and we were given the chance to let him stretch his legs a bit in a paddock before settling him in for the evening. Much to our relief after the long hours on the road, Patty had water and electric hook-ups available for our LQ trailer conveniently located next to the barn. While sleeping peacefully in our beds, she was kind enough to check on our horse during the night, leaving a “report card” and treat on his stall door for us in the morning. I will definitely use Patty’s facility as a layover in the future when traveling north, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an overnight stop in the area."

Nice accommodations for the humans as well."
