Posted — UpdatedAre you looking for a unique and memorable vacation experience? If so, you'll love the variety of interesting and distinctive options available in Little Washington, North Carolina.

As for rooms, the Kracked Pot offers a 400-square foot private suite on the first floor of the home and a 200-square foot private room on the second floor. Both spaces have access to a front porch, first floor foyer, small cafe, and fenced back patio with a fire pit, hot tub, and outdoor shower. The home is a few blocks from the waterfront, downtown shops, and restaurants. “It's a location that's close to downtown, but it's not in the throes of the downtown,” Aley said. “So, you know, Washington has large events in town that bring visitors in— but you don't have people walking around at 11 o'clock at night drinking because we're just off the beaten path.”
The Kracked Pot is LGBTQ+ friendly, and Aley is happy to share information and fun ideas and experiences to do around Little Washington with guests. “Neighbors do socialize, and I think that feeds into the system where, when people come and they stay, I give them the whole spiel about what's so special about Washington, and then things to look for,” he said.
Even if you don’t need the barn, you’ll encounter many other animals. “You’ll have opportunities to meet peacocks, to pet pot-bellied pigs,” co-owner Glen Geisen said. “All of our animals are mostly hand raised, and none of them are caged.” You’ll have access to wooded trails for hiking, jogging, walking, or riding your own horse. You can also use the saltwater swimming pool and hot tub and go into town. “If you’ve never been to Little Washington, we invite you to come and stay, get some quiet time, enjoy nature, enjoy some of our animals but also enjoy the city of Washington because it has so much to offer and just great people and community,” Geisen said.
Another spot for socializing is the billiards room, which Brabo said is the “coolest amenity” among the many amenities she offers. “We do offer a minibar, as well,” she said. “And then we do have games and such on the front porch and in the sunroom. And then, in every guest room, when a guest checks in, they are always welcomed with fresh flowers and fresh baked cookies.”
Whether you stay on a farm with horses or in a grand old home in the heart of Little Washington, you'll be sure to make memories that will last a lifetime. This small town has so much to offer visitors, from great restaurants and shops to hiking and riding trails, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Plan your next visit to experience all that this picturesque town has to offer and choose a charming vacation rental to make your stay feel like home.
