Firstly, the house was very clean with a well stocked pantry and plenty of nice smelling sheets and towels. That said, our recent stay at this VRBO listing was fraught with difficulties. Upon arrival, we were immediately inconvenienced by the lack of a front door code, requiring a phone call to gain entry. This was just the beginning of a series of disappointments. The driveway was partially blocked by a non-functional car, which limited our parking options and accessibility. Inside, the family room, prominently featuring a fireplace, was surprisingly devoid of furniture. This, coupled with a strict rule against moving any furniture, left us without a comfortable space to gather and relax. The house included an extensive list of prohibitions, detailed in what we dubbed the 'no-no book', which felt excessively restrictive and somewhat unwelcoming. Our discovery of water leaks in the property added to our discomfort, and the response we received upon reporting these issues was startlingly rude, further souring our experience. Additionally, the advertised theater room was non-functional, denying us one of the key features we looked forward to enjoying. To compound our concerns, the second-floor deck was in a state of disrepair, with rotted planks and hazardous holes, posing a safety risk and limiting our use of the outdoor space. Overall, our stay was marred by these numerous issues, detracting significantly from the potential enjoyment of the property.

If you need a place to stay near Wake Forest, look no further than the Green Lane Retreat. We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, comfy, spacious home. It worked out perfectly for us. Rosemary was an excellent, thoughtful host with great communication skills. 10 out of 10

We had a minor snafu with checking into the property because the owner lost her phone and wasn't aware of the booking. Outside of this we had a wonderful stay. The home is really comfortable and well decorated. Perfect for a family needing a safe and comfortable place to stay while in the Raleigh area.

Property well maintained with antic pieces. Loved the decoration. Good place for a family to relax

Ample space for 4 families. The house had more supplies than one could even think of. The owner was great to work with and we didn’t have a single issue while we were there. Highly recommended and we will be coming back!

This property was perfect for our group of professionals traveling to the Raleigh area for business. Plenty of room to spread out or hang out! Would highly recommend for professionals wanting more than a hotel environment or families and friends looking for private and communal spaces. Owner was responsive to our questions and easy to contact with quick response time.

It was a great place four our family as home base for our daughters wedding at the angus barn!

The property was absolutely amazing and you can't beat the price for the space! The house was immaculately clean with tons of amenities including a fully stocked kitchen, towels, shampoo, and everything was in good working order. The owners were very easy/quick to communicate with if needed and I would highly recommend this property, you will love it!
