Fun, Comfortable House near Saxapawhaw

Stayed at this home for Elon family weekend. From the moment entering the house there are fun decorations and furnishings to take you back a few years. The home is very well equipped and Kathy is a very generous hostess. We loved the outdoor BBQ area, music on the vinyl record player, and all around a relaxing and comfortable home. The area is great too. Had a walk along the Haw river and visited shops, butcher and coffee shop in Saxapawhaw.

Incredibly Groovy!

My husband and I had our retro-inspired wedding ceremony and reception at the Fab 4 village. Kathy was an incredible host, welcoming us to the property and giving us a tour personally when we arrived. Her eye for design and impeccable antiquing skills left us with the perfect canvas for our celebration. We enjoyed the central location to Graham and Saxapahaw, but also appreciated the quiet seclusion of the property. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Kathy!!

Perfect friends getaway with dogs!

We absolutely loved our stay in Kathy’s home. It was perfect for what we needed. We brought our dogs and hung out, did yoga, played games and cooked! We ventured into town a couple times which is very close to as well as some walking trails along the river. The house is so unique and plenty of space. Loved the decor. And we loved the container home next door. Kathy was great with communication too. Highly recommend if looking for a house in this area!

Great place for a family get together.

The house was clean and well stocked with kitchenware, (except for a potato masher). We appreciated all the personal touches. The décor was so much fun. We would have appreciated another sofa in the living room. If 8 to 10 people, actually stay, there was a shortage of seating for watching movies comfortably. Also, the mattresses are pretty bad. All in all, it was a good place to stay for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Little Gem

This house was rented for Elon University graduation. It was nice and had a lot of space. Pros: lots of space for large group, plenty of dishes and spaces in the house to have a large group. Owner very easy to work with and even gave me a refund when I booked too many days. Cons: The container house pictures in listing are not apart of the rental. We had to find last minute housing for 4 family members when we arrived for graduation. 30 mins from Elon.

The house was exactly as described. It was comfortable and entertaining.

We rented the Fab 4 house for the weekend so we could attend the UNC v. Va Tech football game. Unfortunately, Hurricane Matthew was in attendance as well! Despite the weather and a humiliating loss, the two families had a wonderful time at the Fab 4 house. We played records, popped popcorn and sent the kids out to chase each other around the expansive yard in the rain! The proximity to Saxapahaw was great, and we ate at the Eddy three meals in a row! The kids also loved the breakfast at the general store. We met the butcher at the Left Bank Butchery and the whole town was friendly and accommodating. Thanks so much to Kathy as well for introducing us to a great place to stay for game day! The Davis and Hammonds Families Asheville, NC

Wonderful Wedding Weekend Stay

We rented the Fab4 House along with the 3 container units for our daughter’s wedding weekend. The wedding was at the Haw River Ballroom about a mile away. The house has 4 comfortable bedrooms with a big gathering space in the converted garage. Awesome retro design and decor. The covered grill area was awesome. Big yard for kids old and young to enjoy.

Great place to meet up with friends

We were supposed to stay 2 nights, but due to circumstances were only able to make it for 1. We really wish we had more time as it was a perfect gathering place for friends. We had a wedding reception nearby and had 3 couples stay at the house and several more people who came by after the event. We really enjoyed to record player and the younger crowd was able to hang out in the "lounge" while we "old folks" got to hang out and reminisce. If the weather had been nicer, it would have been great to hang out outdoors. It had a great set up. We hope to do it again sometime! (Everybody loved the theme and again, I wish we'd had more time because everytime I looked, I noticed something different. Nice details!)

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Hansinger

The Fab 4 House is the dream venture of my husband and i, owners Tom and Kathy. This amazing community is quite different from Cleveland, OH, where I grew up. My husband and I moved to the Cary, NC area over 30 years ago. Loved the climate and proximity to the beaches and mountains. We both love to cook and entertain so we added places in the home and outside that make entertaining easy and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

I am an avowed mid-century modern fan, growing up in the 60's and have long wanted a place to showcase the beauty of the era and its unique design. I came across this charming 1960s-era house and knew it would be perfect to remodel in mid-century modern style. Plus, it was just around the corner – literally – from the quirky, artsy, electric village of historic Saxapahaw, which itself had recently undergone a revitalization. That, coupled with the scenic beauty of the area and the laid-back peacefulness of the Haw River, made the house an excellent choice for an ideal pairing of old and new.

What makes this property unique

It is the community of Saxapahaw that drew us in. Our neighboring small farms grow vegetables and raise livestock that supply the 2 gourmet restaurants in the village. There are incredible live music performance in the Haw River Ballroom.
