Relax in Style Unwind in a beautifully designed two-story home with premium touches and thoughtful details throughout. Just under a mile (about a 20-minute walk) from Raleigh’s biggest venues, you’ll be close to the action but tucked in a quiet neighborhood perfect for resting after the excitement.
Living Room & Loft After a day at Carter-Finley, Lenovo Center (formerly PNC Arena) or the Fairgrounds, sink into plush seating and stream on the smart TV, or break out a board game. Upstairs, the loft brings its own vibe- foosball tournaments, a sunny lounge chair for reading, and a desk setup ideal for remote work. It’s a second living space where everyone can spread out.
Kitchen & Dining Cook like home with a fully equipped kitchen featuring full-size appliances, cookware, and dishware for family meals or easy takeout. We also have kid-friendly dishware. Guests also love the eight-person dining table and the nugget ice maker for cocktails, sodas, or iced coffee.
Bedrooms Three bedrooms offer premium queen mattresses, crisp linens, and smart TVs. Each includes closet space and cozy details that make unpacking effortless. Perfect for couples, friends, or families—everyone has a private retreat.
Bathrooms With three full bathrooms, there’s no need to wait. Two feature bathtubs, one has a walk-in shower. Stocked with fresh towels, toiletries, and hair dryers, each is designed for a stress-free start to your day.
Patio & Outdoor Space Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails on the paved patio with comfortable seating. The backyard offers open green space perfect for relaxing outdoors or letting your pup stretch their legs under the stars.
Dog-Friendly Well-behaved dogs are welcome; pets are family here. With plenty of room inside and outside, your pup will feel right at home. Please note: the backyard is open with no seprations to the neighbor (not fenced). Sorry, no cats due to allergies.
Guest Perks Enjoy details that make travel seamless: 24-hour self check-in, fast Wi-Fi, free parking for two, washer/dryer with Tide Free and Clear detergent, central A/C & heat, and baby gear (high chair + travel crib).
Location Highlights Stay less than a mile from Raleigh’s top venues- Lenovo Center (formerly PNC Arena), Carter-Finley Stadium, Hunt Horse Complex, and the NC State Fairgrounds. Within 10–15 minutes, explore downtown museums, Cary’s Fenton shopping, Lake Johnson Park, and the State Farmers Market. Occasional train pass-bys remind you you’re in the heart of Raleigh, but the neighborhood stays peaceful and residential.
We’re here to make your stay seamless, restful, and just the right amount of luxurious. Message anytime with questions- we’d love to host you!

Perfect spot for N.C. State Parents’ Weekend. Great touches with snacks and spare toiletries in case we forgot something. Shirt walk to Carter Finley and central to all things Raleigh. Would definitely stay here again.

We needed a place to stay within walking distance to the Lenovo Center and the place was perfect! Kayla was quick to respond anytime I had a question. Everything was in good shape and the beds were comfy and 3 bathrooms was a plus! :)
