See you again soon!

We could not have asked for a better stay or cottage to stay in! We needed a nice place to retreat to after long days at the convention center, and Larry & Sandra provided the perfect spot. The cottage was just the right size for a 6 night stay, complete with laundry room and anything you could need. The property is just stunning with the Koi pond and greenery. It feels extremely secluded, but it's less than a mile from all stores, restaurants, and conveniences. I hope business brings me to Raleigh again just so I can stay here!

The property is exactly as shown. Everything is nice and clean with a lot of personal touches. Definitely will stay again!

What a beautiful cottage and surroundings. Looks just like the pictures on website.

The cottage is my go-to place to stay on my frequent trips to Raleigh to see my son, and I look forward to arriving every time. After more than a dozen stays at the cottage, it truly feels like my home, and garden!, away from home. Such a pleasure to wander around the lovely plantings around the water features and property. And Larry and Sandra are not only warm and welcoming hosts, they have thought of every little thing a guest might need. This property is highly recommended.

Larry and his wife bent over backwards to accommodate my needs! Above and beyond!

From booking through checkout, Larry and Sandra made me feel secure, welcome and honored as their guest. I could not have found a more beautiful, peaceful, immaculate and comfortable place to stay anywhere. I hope to stay at the Water Feature Cottage again someday. Thank you very much.

A cozy little cottage surrounded by waterfalls, a koi pond and an abundance of birds. The interior of the cottage was filled with all of our needs for a comfortable stay. The hosts are among the nicest people we have ever met.

Stayed for 3 nights. The property was very clean and extremely comfortable. DirectTV made for relaxing evenings and the location was very convenient to Raleigh sites. Will definitely stay at this property again.

Cozy little place. Feels secluded but is close to anything you'd need. Would definitely recommend!

My husband recently sold his house in North Raleigh, but he wants to stay in the Duke HeathCare network. We were delighted to find this this fabulous short term rental and hosts! Convenient to downtown and easy interstate access!

Larry was a great host. Communicated very well and helped out however he could. Spot was nice and cozy, perfect for having family into town. Highly recommend staying at this cottage.

To say I was impressed with the Water Cottage is an understatement. My sister and I had a weekend shopping trip, and it was so convenient to everywhere. The owners communication was immediate and thorough. The property was immaculate, and everything you could possibly need was provided. If I have to stay in the area again I will definitely check this property’s availability.

Very clean well laid out. The garden was super pretty.

Each time we stay at the cottage—and we have done so at least 6 times already—we are so pleased by everything. We say, this is just the perfect place for us to stay while visiting our son. Larry and Sandra don't miss a thing, and provide amenities so anything we need is right there. The greatest joy for me is being able to walk out and enjoy the beautiful garden and waterfalls.

I was looking for a place to have a mini- getaway weekend. This cottage was perfect. The owners were friendly but respectful of my privacy. I would recommend to my family and friends.

Beautiful yard with ponds, waterfalls, bridge, lots of plants and flowers. Plenty of parking. House was neat and clean with all you need. Larry and Sandra were friendly, helpful and close. They offered to let us move our brand new car to the front of their own house to protect it from the possibility of falling tree limbs while we rode out the edge of hurricane. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

I enjoyed my stay at the water feature cottage to visit the Raleigh Durham area. The owners were gracious an provided everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The apartment was very clean and the gardens were beautiful. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our 2 night stay at this beautiful cottage! Extremely clean and so peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend!! Awesome hosts! ❤️ Juanita & Steve

My husband and I came to Raleigh for the weekend for a concert. We discovered Larry and Sandra‘s cottage on VBRO and we’re so excited. It was such a marvelous retreat and yet so close to everything we wanted to do downtown. We were never more than five minutes away from the concert venue, breweries, and spectacular restaurants. We had the most marvelous time. And each evening we could come back to the cottage and have a nice quiet retreat. The house was well appointed with everything we would need including the necessities in the kitchen. We so enjoyed sitting on the porch for breakfast and watching the sun come up over the the garden. And their delightful dog made everything even sweeter. We will definitely be back and could not recommend this place more strongly to anyone looking for a similar escape.

My significant other and I flew to NC for my son's graduation weekend. This was the absolute perfect place. We were away from all the crowds at Duke University (and UNC's graduation) and yet close enough to get to/from where we needed to be. This VRBO is very well-maintained, has the right amount of space and amenities for what we needed. We only wish we didn't have to go to so many events so we could have stayed around more to unwind and enjoy the peacefulness of the property more. The grounds are gorgeous!

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the area around the place. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Lots of places to go to or just peaceful place to relax.

My daughter and I truly enjoyed our stay. Larry and Sandy’s home is a little oasis. It was so fresh and clean, quiet, and tranquil. Larry checked on us to see if we needed anything in addition to what was already provided. I would most definitely recommend staying here. It has everything you need and if you are looking for a place away from the hustle and bustle, this is definitely it. Close to everything but tucked away. Perfect combination!

As a recently married couple living in times as trying as these, a need to just find a little spot to do a little nothing was just aching to be fulfilled. This little cottage provided just that. Our welcome was warm, the stay was quiet and rewarding, and the owners of the property were just absolutely accommodating. It's no high end resort, complete with spa, stocked bar, and lavish clubs, but who needs all that noise when the noise is becoming too much to bare? We had a water filled garden that was blooming with all the love that was put into it, we had peace and quiet from this bombastic world, and we got to live the simple life we both yearn to hold some day despite all our efforts at large. We would stay here before anywhere else if we are in the area again, and anyone looking for a nice, quiet retreat should stay here too.

Very nice property and property owners. My wife and I had a great time staying at the property. It was quite and peaceful. Property had everything you would need there. Even though the owners live on the property in another house they truly let us be and have our time by ourselves. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay again if we are in the area again.

Property owners were extremely kind and accommodating. Their property and the small house we stayed in was perfect for a quick getaway. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio and only having a quick drive into downtown. We look forward to staying here again soon. Thank you!!

We have stayed at several VRBO’s This is my favorite by far. Location was good, the yard with the pond and flowers were beautiful. But the house itself was amazing. Spotless, well decorated s d had anything you needed. Larry was a great host!

The weekend was great! We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage. It was nicely decorated, quiet inside, great location, and clean. We loved the side patio, which we ate breakfast on twice. The yard was beautiful! We met Larry the day we checked in and Larry and Sandra the day we checked out. What a great experience. Highly recommend!!

Gardener alert! This is a fantastic property. Water feature doesn't begin to describe fully how lovely this garden is, right outside your front door. It welcomes you to enjoy a glass of wine by the waterfall and to roam to view the three small ponds. The cottage was immaculate and has all kinds of thoughtful conveniences for the traveler. I know I will be returning frequently when visiting my son in the Raleigh area.
