Birthday Party

It was the perfect setting for my 1 year old grandson's birthday party! Most of the family live out of town/state and it was very comfortable and relaxing and hosted everyone well. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots/pans/dishes/etc. Overall, very nice place and would come back again!

Wonderful place!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cottage. It was huge and we had plenty of room. It was located close to everything we needed. Just a 20 minute drive to the airport. The floorplan was very well laid out. Plenty of room for all our group!! Enjoyed watching the groundhogs in the backyard eating the peaches off the tree. So cute! Since the weather was so HOT, we just relaxed and enjoyed each other's company playing games and such. Restaurants close by were very good! Will definitely stay again. It was close to where our friends live. Oh and a very safe and beautiful part of town. Gorgeous houses all around.

Charming home

We were visiting family in Raleigh and chose this house because of its location and size. This is a charming home with tons of space. It’s clean and modern yet warm with lots of books and a fully loaded kitchen. Loved that the linens were provided. There’s a huge backyard with a tree swing as well as 2 decks. If you need a rental in this area, we highly recommend this home! 5 ⭐️

Great space, great stay

Had a great week back in town visiting old friends. When one of my children locked herself out of her bedroom Paul was super responsive and very gracious despite it being entirely our fault. The space was great to relax in during our limited downtime during a busy week and our kids all loved having their own rooms.

College friends getaway

The property fit our needs for our weekend. The location was convenient for our purposes and the house fit our needs. One thing that would have helped with our cooking was we only had one pot to use for cooking. We had plenty of skillets. The house could also use additional silverware, short on spoons.. Bedroom carpets could use an upgrading and if pets are allowed, maybe wooden floors would be better.

Great Short Stay in Raleigh

We had a great experience staying here with most of the conveniences of home. I wish the bedrooms had blackout curtains as it got bright before 6am in the room, but other than that it was perfect for a weekend for our family!

Dog-friendly house in Raleigh

Overall, the house worked for our needs. We had 5 adults, 1 dog and stayed for 10 days. It is very dog-friendly (fenced in yard!) and there was plenty of room for us. The house is located next to an industrial area right near the highway - lots of road noise (can be heard in the house). Location is convenient - easy to get around. A lovely park nearby and easy to get to restaurants and grocery stores. The house could use more maintenance. While bathroom supplies were provided, the starter supply was limited (only one roll/bathroom and less than full soap - during a pandemic). The master bathroom is nicely renovated, but lacks heat. Plenty of linens provided and laundry was nice for our lengthy stay. Paul had music playing, flowers, and a lighted tree (for Christmas) when we arrived, which was a nice touch.

Great Place in North Raleigh!

Our group stayed at Paul’s house for a tennis weekend with friends. Can’t say enough about how terrific it was to come back to the house after a long day on our feet and enjoy a glass of wine in front of the fire. Paul’s hospitality was amazing and he made us feel right at home. Already looking forward to next year’s stay!
