Amenities / Description
Your stay at "Stinson Ranch" will be an unforgettable experience. This resurrected structure is a duplicate of the original Stinson's Ranch which was destroyed by Hurricane Irene. It rises out of the Roanoke Sound on pilings that give you a panoramic 180-degree view of the water, sky, birds, boats, unbelievable sun and moon sets, and anything else that might venture by. The original structure was built in 1903 in the old Nags Head architectural style and the new "Ranch" has the same familiar feeling offering comfort and charm.
This vacation Hide-a-way is perfect for anyone looking for a unique and truly exciting stay over the water. You need only to walk down a flight of stairs and you are there...ready to swim, float, boat, or just walk out to the sandbar. Fishing, crabbing, sunbathing, reading, journal writing, and star-gazing are all recommended activities on the large lower deck or the cozy upper deck. Meals are taken while watching the sunset from an outside table seating 8.
Stinson Ranch has a shower platform below the cottage and a long set of steps leading down to a platform over the water from which you can jump into a kayak or slip into the water (at this point the water is about 2 feet deep depending on the wind and waves). The "Ranch" is perfect for water lovers; it is easily reachable and children can be monitored from the deck above. Hours upon hours can be spent just walking and playing in the water out in the sun or under the cottage free from the rays of the sun. You can walk several hundred yards into the sound and never get over your head....a sandbar rises a hundred yards out and provides a great place for water activities such as frisbee, volleyball, paddleball, or just sitting and enjoying the view. There is never a lack of things to do at the cottage, and you never have to leave to have a great time. Even when the weather is not so friendly, this place has charm and comfort to offer. With a gas fireplace in the corner, you can be warm and still step out onto the deck for a brisk breeze on a still wintry day that warms the spirit.
Stinson Ranch is complete with all modern amenities and is indeed a "step back into history" with lots of the former cottage honored in pictures and objects.
The downstairs is an open floor plan with a comfortable sitting area and kitchen eating area combined. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed to cook a sumptuous meal with a central table. A doorway leads to two bedrooms, one containing two single beds and another with a queen-size bed. A large bathroom with a shower sits between the two. A set of stairs leads up to a large loft that contains two double beds. A small half-bath occupies one corner. Five windows provide a majestic view of the water and Manteo in the distance. A deck is attached to the loft and is "the end of the world" as far as sitting, reading, watching the sunsets, and having a cup of coffee in the morning or your favorite beverage in the evening.
Stinson Ranch is truly a haven of rest and relaxation. It retains the charm and character which the Stinson family has brought to it since 1963. Nothing in your imagination can prepare you for a stay at this one-of-a-kind cottage.

Endless summer kinda fun!
Dirt P from Chesterfield , New JerseyStinson ranch
Lisa W. from WilsonThank you For offering this property. It was fantastic and just what I wanted. Quiet, on the water, fireplace...Very relaxing and had all I needed. Thanks for sending the tech out to square away the gas fireplace for me! The place was VERY clean too. My ONLY miff is the coffee maker. Some of its pieces are under the counter and need to be assembled. I didn't really notice until I had put coffee in the filter, water in the chute, and started to brew and water was all over the counter! When I poured out the water and started to clean up I noticed lots of tiny little rocks in the water compartment. ???? Cleaned it all out and under the cabinet I found the missing part which was covered with hard water debris??? I ended up using the filter on top of my cup and pouring water into my filter to make coffee. Might want to spring for a new coffee maker??? Otherwise everything was BRILLIANT! Shower was delicious. Thanks much!

We were able to get an early check in and began a family vacation for the record books! Wow! This place was a heavenly destination. We were up with the rising sun and to bed with the midnight moon and stars. Bring your sunscreen because the deck gets an enormous amount of uv. The outside rinse station is unbelievable and I would not have it any other way! The Stinson Ranch is highly recommended and I hope to enjoy it again soon!
