Great house for a group
Very clean and good size for large group. Bunk room with toys was nice touch. We enjoyed our stay and would repeat if event or need for that size accommodations were needed. Location is convenient to PNC and NC State as well as shopping is close if needed. Recommend.

Very convenient and comfortable
Five older gentlemen visiting Raleigh for some relaxing golf and a hockey game. Stayed in this beautifully updated home which is very conveniently located to the Raleigh area. The home was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The check in process was easy and communication was excellent. Joel was very responsive and helpful.

A week away
We needed a place to get away close to our kids school and where we could work from home during a home renovation. This rental house is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is amazing. The kids loved the upstairs loft to play video games and watch movies. The convenience to shopping and areas to walk our dog made this a perfect spot.
