The place is excellent! The arcade system is great and provided hours of entertainment with nostalgic games we grew up playing. There were plenty of clean and comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The backyard was a beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy the great weather we had for the weekend. The host Jen was on top of all communication and even went out of the way to put up a flag from my group’s Alma Mater! I’d happily book this place again on my next trip to Raleigh!

I stayed here with a group of 10 and we had a great time. The home was incredibly clean, the beds were super comfy. The home offers several areas for the group to break up in groups to shoot pool, play video game or just sit and have a drink with friends. We loved cooking in the kitchen and having a table large enough for us to eat together. We would happily stay here again.
