Just What We Needed
Wife and I needed a weekend refresh. House was everything listed. Great floorplan and such a cute little place. Only negatives were traffic noise and beds are all on cheaper metal frames. Make a ton of noise when you move just a little during the night. Still highly recommend this place.

Great little cottage type house
Very clean, well kept. Worked great for extended family. BBQ worked fine and hot tub was a treat. Cozy backyard set up! Very walkable to small downtown area. Kitchen was new & well furnished. We liked that MBR had own sitting area with French doors - great for multi-Gen family stay. Only comment is house is on corner of two busy streets so you do hear road noise, especially in. Morning.

Perfect little Cottage!
I recently stayed at this cottage while visiting the Raleigh area as a possible location to move to. This cottage was a great find!! First, the location is fantastic (within walking distance to downtown Wake Forest, a safe neighborhood & close to so much food and shopping). The yard (courtyard) is adorable with a Hot Tub, fire pit, grill, tables & chairs, great lighting, and privacy! The cottage itself is very clean and cozy. The kitchen is modern and had everything we could have needed and then some. I personally didn't use them but saw books, games and other forms of entertainment for groups or kids. Several smart TV's throughout as well. This is definitely a place I would recommend and rent again when returning to the area.
