Amazing stay perfect for children and pets

We loved it here and my family did not want to leave! Host was very accommodating. There were dog toys and even a brand new dog bed. The house was exceptionally clean and well stocked with everything you need plus more, such as seasonings, organic coffee, and extra toiletries. Bed was super comfy, backyard was great for my dog and the playground in the backyard was so much fun for my little one. Then there was the thousand square foot playroom upstairs. It has a full crib, a baby monitor, and more toys than you could possibly need (really no need to even bring your own!). Needless to say that when we come back to Raleigh, we will be staying here. I would rate it a bonus 6 out of five stars if I could. If you have a family, then this is the place for you!

Great Family Friendly Property

Stayed here while visiting family in town. It was a fantastic place to stay with two young kids. We had trouble getting my 4 year old out of the house because he loved playing in the toy room so much. Sheryl was very responsive when we had an issue with the front door lock. Would definitely stay here again in the future and recommend to others.

Perfect pet friendly spot in Raleigh!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The house is a quick drive to all the activities downtown, but on a quiet street that is quiet and peaceful to come back to. The house is well maintained, super clean and has all the basic amenities you need. Our dog loved lounging on the deck and we loved sitting listening to the birds in the quiet and peaceful backyard. Sheryl was a super responsive and great host. Definitely recommend!

Great house in a great location!

This house is great for couples, families and/or people with dogs! It has a fenced yard and children's playscape for the backyard. We loved that the master bedroom was on the main floor too. The pictures of this house posted on VRBO are accurate. This home is also in a great neighborhood in Raleigh. It is so close to stores and restaurants (5-10 minute drive). We loved that the homes in this neighborhood had some 'space' between them too. Just a perfect setup! The host for this home (Sheryl) is a great communicator and was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Raleigh!

Property ok, unwelcoming owner

The property was fine. It was a good home base for us while we were checking out the area. Lots of “don’t do this or there will be a charge.” Was also told we needed to check out by 8 am on our last day which was stupid.

Fall into your quiet place

This house is exactly as pictured! The host Sheryl is so kind and responsive almost immediately! We were able to do some driving to the mountains to see the Biltmore Estate about 4 hours one way! It was a very long day but we’ll worth it! We drove to Oak Island Lighthouse and saw the beach which was deserted this time of year! About 2 1/2 hours away one way! If you want to got to the top you have to schedule it on line which we didn’t but it was still neat. We went over to Southport and ate at Fishy Fishy and then walked about a block to see the house in the movie “Safe Haven” written by Nicholas Sparks! We grilled burgers out back and just enjoyed the scenery and laid back peaceful neighborhood.

Great stay in a lovely neighborhood

We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a month while waiting to move into our new house. The beds are really comfortable, plenty of blankets and towels, and we loved the comfortable reclining chairs. The kitchen was well-stocked and easy to use. Big fenced-in backyard was perfect for our dogs. Both the yard and upper level are great for people with younger kids. There is so much to do here, the kids might forget about their screens for a bit. We really enjoyed having our morning coffee while watching a hummingbird outside our living room window. We were happy to realize there were so many great food options very close by. Highly recommend. Laurie and Chuck R.

Cute home with a large yard and upstairs

My wife and I stayed for a month in this house while we were house hunting, and all we really enjoyed it. Our dog loved chasing squirrels in the large fenced backyard, and we loved the comfortable living room and bedroom (and watching her run around from the upper deck in the back while drinking tea in the morning). The shower was excellent, and the kitchen was just right for our daily cooking. The beds and the recliners were comfortable, and the neighborhood was pretty quiet and conveniently located. Sheryl, the owner/host, was very accommodating and communicative by e-mail/text, and she was very clear with her instructions about various details of the house. If you're moving to the area and need some time to find a long-term housing situation, I recommend staying in this house. We were there only a month, but it started to feel like home. :-)

Great location! Very clean!

This house was clean and had everything we needed. It is in a great location and gave us the ability to go all around Raleigh and surrounding towns to explore. There is even a swing set in the back yard that was popular with our kids along with all the toys in the bonus room upstairs. I highly recommend this property and would stay again if available the next time we visit Raleigh.

This is a quiet neighborhood with easy access to downtown, shopping, gas. The information available at the home itself was invaluable. Such a lovely place to stay and enjoy my weekend in Raleigh.
