Great home and location

There were eight of us in town for a family high school graduation. The house was set up perfect for our group - three couples and two adult kids. Each couple had their own room and the two adult kids stayed in the room with four twin beds. Home has plenty of room, and while we didn't cook much, the kitchen seemed to have everything you would need, and the location is perfect.

Very beautiful home both inside and out! My family had plenty of room to be together as well as have space for us to hang out when you didn’t want to be together, lol. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I love small details like having hand soap avaliable in all the restrooms. I usually travel with my own but I forgot this time and was pleasantly surprised to see the house already had some. Every room has been beautifully decorated as well. Great to get some good family photos while we were there to drop oir daughter off at college. Communication was fantastic. Would definitely rent again. 10 out of 10!

Happy College Professors

We stayed at this property while attending a teaching conference at Wake Forest. It was perfect. So clean, so comfortable, and even nice and cool during an epic heatwave. We only had 4 people, but could have easily had several more with the room with all the single beds. Check in was easy-peasy, and the location was pefect to access the campus. My colleagues and I agree, it was the best rental we've ever stayed in!

Wonderful Baseball Weekend

Came up for our annual “Wake Weekend” with alumni of WF and former baseball players to enjoy a weekend. The house was perfect for us, as we had former college roommates and their families staying. As one of the wives from the group had been a volleyball player, staying at the “old volleyball house” was a real treat and throwback to the guys. The house was a GREAT location, within walking distance to Campus Gas, loved the huge backyard for the boys to play catch, really just the best. We will definitely be booking again for next year and the 25-year reunion of the Deacs winning the ACC baseball Championship! #godeacs!

Great place for families - central location!

We were staying here to be close to family members that were at the hospital... this location worked out great as we had enough space to spread out and not feel like we were on top of one another. The owner was super responsive any time I reached out which was greatly appreciated given the situation we were in. The house is a older house that has been kept up with very nicely and and had plenty of amenities... great kitchen, bathroom on each floor, and TVs in all rooms except one. The 2nd upstairs bedroom is setup for a lot of flexibility as needed.

Great house for families!

This house worked well for our extended family when we attended a medical residency graduation for our son. The upstairs room with 4 twin beds was perfect for our 3 grandkids, and there was plenty of room for all the adults in the other bedrooms too. The kitchen and bathrooms were newly remodeled and beautiful. Great screened porches too! We appreciated the extra touches such as coffee creamer pods and individual shampoo minis. Our host was very responsive and helpful!
