We had a wonderful stay for a small reunion of friends. The house is just as described, two comfortable sitting areas and a large deck and yard with seating too. Everything you would need in the kitchen and entire home was clean. Extra touches were appreciated - charging blocks by every bed and in the main areas too. Communication was easy and hosts were responsive. The house is on a peaceful street but close to everything - shops and restaurants. Easy drive to Durham.

The property is gorgeous with a pond stocked with fish. Our boys enjoyed catching and releasing small bass and sunnies. The home is immaculate, beautiful, and stocked with every imaginable thing you would need to make your stay enjoyable and worry-free. The rooms are spacious and allowed our group of 10 to spread out and do whatever we wanted to do. I highly recommend a stay at this property. You'll really enjoy it's many "perks".

We were able to rent this property and the adjacent home offered by the same host for both the bride's family and groom's family. Each home was so well-appointed and comfortable - plenty of dishes, silverware, towels, large refrigerator, many small appliances - everything we needed. The property is lovely with the early spring gardens and pond - excellent for pre-wedding photos! We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and were able to enjoy the outside spaces as well when friends and family stopped by to visit with us during the wedding weekend. Highest recommendation and the hosts were responsive and eager to work with us.

Our large multi-generational family celebrated the Christmas and New Year’s holidays at this large, comfortable house. The kitchen was spacious and very well stocked, with labeled drawers and cabinets facilitating our many cooks and assistants. The front living room - with a light and simply decorated Christmas tree - and back den provided multiple gathering places. The multi-level deck outdoors had two tables with seating for at least fifteen. The hosts were very responsive by test and phone. An all around wonderful experience.

This was an outstanding property, especially for the very reasonable price. The house was large and well equipped and the setting was lovely. Our group was small, but it would be a great house for a larger family reunion.

15 easy minutes from UNC Chapel Hill and from downtown Durham. Clean, comfortable, well stocked and in a beautiful setting. Everything worked as it should. Lots of food and shopping options 5-10 min away. Helpful and responsive host.

We stayed in August for 5 nights while visiting family. The house was clean and very spacious and included many amenities such as; toiletries, kitchen supplies, games, cleaning supplies, and other small things. We cooked out and enjoyed the grill, deck and overall yard. The property is in a good location, 20 minutes to downtown Cary and Durham. Five minutes from South Point mall and minutes away from Harris Teeters market, ABC liquor store and Total wine. Definitely would stay here again .

We were fortunate to find this place. The house is on a spacious property with many bedrooms and bathrooms. This would be a fantastic place for a fun family retreat. Our host Susan was incredibly attentive to our needs and quick to respond to our questions. Lovely wooded areas are adjacent and I was surprised to see deer in the front yard one evening! Overall, a wonderful stay.

Country outdoor feel in a convenient location. Beautiful property with a pond and nice fire pit area and a large deck.
Were able to do good meal prep in the kitchen with a large refrigerator. Lots of games and puzzles, plenty of warm throws around during the winter season.
The Children's Museum of Raleigh was great for the 18 month old. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.
Felt good and were able to make ourselves at home.

We absolutely loved staying in this house for an early Thanksgiving. As a party of 9 people staying for an entire week, I didn't expect to have enough paper products, toiletries, towels, etc to last the week but this house was fully stocked with every essential and more that a big family would need! Sue even provided coffee and snacks!
The house is spotlessly clean. Not a speck of dust or a crumb anywhere. The grounds are gorgeous beyond belief with a tranquil pond, geese, ducks, deer, birds, and squirrels playing everywhere.
This house has tons of puzzles, indoor and outdoor games and activities, fire pit, grill, game room, and more. The TV has all the best streaming and music channels!
Comfy, cozy, functional, beautiful... we will treasure our memories here and can't wait to come back soon! Thank you for everything!!

We had an excellent stay at the house. The hosts provided us with everything we needed including coffee, snacks, games and toys for the kids. The kids loved the foosball table and would play for hours. The excellent location allowed us to access everywhere in the Raleigh area we needed to go in about 20 minutes. The washer and dryer were handy as we were there for a long duration. Food Lion about 10 minutes down the road. We appreciate the stay and will keep it marked for a return trip!

This wonderful home was clean and comfortable, and we're so happy we found it! The check-in and check-out procedures were smooth and simple. We especially loved the children's room! It was perfect for our family get-together! Given the proximity to our daughter who lives in Durham, we'll probably be staying again in the future! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The house was very comfortable and homey. There was more than enough room for our track members. The beds were very comfortable and so was the linen. It felt like a summer visit at your grand parents. The laundry machine made the end of our stay very convenient. They had all of the kitchen supplies necessary for a long stay. It was in a very peaceful surrounding. The location was very convenient to eatery’s and the highway. Everything they provided was over and beyond the expectations of a rental. We wish we would have utilized more of the outdoor amenities. The owner left a very good expectation guide. We would stay there again if we are in the area.
