Family Wedding
Our youngest son was getting married, and although most of the out of town guests were staying in a hotel, we wanted a place that could accommodate ourselves, my parents and our other son, daughter in law and grandson, and possibly our 19 YO granddaughter and her BF. This location served our needs very nicely, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was centrally located and was clean and comfortable.

Peaceful place with plenty of room
We had a wonderful stay for a small reunion of friends. The house is just as described, two comfortable sitting areas and a large deck and yard with seating too. Everything you would need in the kitchen and entire home was clean. Extra touches were appreciated - charging blocks by every bed and in the main areas too. Communication was easy and hosts were responsive. The house is on a peaceful street but close to everything - shops and restaurants. Easy drive to Durham.

The property is gorgeous with a pond stocked with fish. Our boys enjoyed catching and releasing small bass and sunnies. The home is immaculate, beautiful, and stocked with every imaginable thing you would need to make your stay enjoyable and worry-free. The rooms are spacious and allowed our group of 10 to spread out and do whatever we wanted to do. I highly recommend a stay at this property. You'll really enjoy it's many "perks".

Large Home with Lots of Gathering Spaces on Wooded Lot
Our large multi-generational family celebrated the Christmas and New Year’s holidays at this large, comfortable house. The kitchen was spacious and very well stocked, with labeled drawers and cabinets facilitating our many cooks and assistants. The front living room - with a light and simply decorated Christmas tree - and back den provided multiple gathering places. The multi-level deck outdoors had two tables with seating for at least fifteen. The hosts were very responsive by test and phone. An all around wonderful experience.

Great House and Location
We stayed in August for 5 nights while visiting family. The house was clean and very spacious and included many amenities such as; toiletries, kitchen supplies, games, cleaning supplies, and other small things. We cooked out and enjoyed the grill, deck and overall yard. The property is in a good location, 20 minutes to downtown Cary and Durham. Five minutes from South Point mall and minutes away from Harris Teeters market, ABC liquor store and Total wine. Definitely would stay here again .

We were fortunate to find this place. The house is on a spacious property with many bedrooms and bathrooms. This would be a fantastic place for a fun family retreat. Our host Susan was incredibly attentive to our needs and quick to respond to our questions. Lovely wooded areas are on either side and I was surprised to see deer in the front yard one evening! Overall, a wonderful stay.

Good Family Reunion Spot
Country outdoor feel in a convenient location. Beautiful property with a pond and nice fire pit area and a large deck. Were able to do good meal prep in the kitchen with a large refrigerator. Lots of games and puzzles, plenty of warm throws around during the winter season. The Children's Museum of Raleigh was great for the 18 month old. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Felt good and were able to make ourselves at home.

We had an excellent stay at the house. The hosts provided us with everything we needed including coffee, snacks, games and toys for the kids. The kids loved the foosball table and would play for hours. The excellent location allowed us to access everywhere in the Raleigh area we needed to go in about 20 minutes. The washer and dryer were handy as we were there for a long duration. Food Lion about 10 minutes down the road. We appreciate the stay and will keep it marked for a return trip!

An amazing home in a great location
The house was very comfortable and homey. There was more than enough room for our track members. The beds were very comfortable and so was the linen. It felt like a summer visit at your grand parents. The laundry machine made the end of our stay very convenient. They had all of the kitchen supplies necessary for a long stay. It was in a very peaceful surrounding. The location was very convenient to eatery’s and the highway. Everything they provided was over and beyond the expectations of a rental. We wish we would have utilized more of the outdoor amenities. The owner left a very good expectation guide. We would stay there again if we are in the area.
