North Carolina Piedmont Vacation Rentals

The old and new meet dramatically in North Carolina's Piedmont, which lies between coastal plains and the mountains. The landscape here - red clay hills, tobacco fields and peach orchards - is as varied as the region's industry and agriculture. Travelers can enjoy the relaxed pace here as they stroll streets lined with gorgeous homes and blooming dogwoods. The region includes some of the country's greatest championship golf courses and well-known educational institutions, including Duke University, Wake Forest University and UNC-Chapel Hill.
