The perfect getaway with family!

We loved our stay here in Winston. The house is so beautiful, clean, and comfortable for our large family. Plenty of things to do when not exploring the city - we had bonfires, played games, hosted family dinners, and enjoyed the beautiful views. This was a 5 star rental and we would recommend to anyone interested in a vacation n Winston!

Great Home for Families

The home was fantastic. Multiple floors for family units to spread out. It is located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood with a picturesque view from the morning breakfast table. The kitchen is well appointed and the Nesspresso was a treat! 5 stars all around. We rent often and this was one of the best we've stayed in.

Wonderful stay!

This NC Vrbo has quickly become a favorite for us, as we’ve now stayed here twice and can’t wait to return. The home is incredibly well-kept, spacious, and immaculately clean. It has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it feel like a true home away from home. The hosts are fantastic—always quick to respond to any questions we had, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail and hospitality really sets this place apart. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Beautiful home with tons of space inside and out

Came to Winston for a mini Wake Forest reunion. Had 10 in the house, and never felt crowded. Don’t let the photos fool you - it’s 3 stories with 5 proper bedrooms! Back yard was an added bonus! Great for spending time in during warm fall days!

UVA Football Weekend

We all had a delightful weekend visiting Winston-Salem for the Wake Forest vs Virginia Football Game. We love this very clean residence and we had all the comforts of home. Sadly all participants had to leave Sunday so our stay was short. Property is large and beautiful. We particularly enjoyed the large sunroom off of the kitchen. We gathered there often during our stay. This is a very nice property and should not be missed when staying in Winston-Salem.

The Perfect Destination

Our experience is exactly why we love the Vrbo option. We were in town for Parents Weekend and this house gave us a welcoming place to convene over coffee and conversation with our son and another couple in town. Welcoming and well located, I recommend this home without hesitation. The hosts made sure the logistics were smooth as silk including local recommendations.

Wow and wow! We had a wonderful weekend at Bethabara Forest. Can't say enough good things. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. We especially loved the sunroom! The yard is beautifully landscaped. The neighborhood is serene and peaceful, yet close to stores and restaurants. Chad responded within a few minutes to my inquiries. It was really one of my best experiences renting a home.

Beautiful and Peaceful Oasis

What a wonderful weekend we had in Winston! My dear friend, son, and I were visiting my daughter at Wake and wanted a home to cook and fuss over her! This home was comfortable, beautiful both inside and out, and incredibly well equipped: milk frother, pizza pans, and even a scone pan! We used them all. The owners were delightful and responsive. Can't wait to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well appointed home! We had a family reunion and there was plenty of room for everyone! Many hours were spent taking in the fresh air in this parklike setting, complete with wildlife spotting…we especially enjoyed having our morning coffee while looking out the picture window, watching a plethora of colorful birds gather at the feeder below!!

BOOK THIS HOUSE!

This is the most amazing experience my family has ever experienced in our 6 years renting vacation houses. Chad and Kami were beyond accommodating for our post Christmas family reunion of 4 families including 8 adults and 2 children. They provided a beautiful tree fully decorated to include chocolate santa ornaments for our kids. They left a lovely bottle of champagne, chocolates and holiday bouquets of fresh flowers on both dining tables. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare our holiday

Wonderful family home

This property proved to be the perfect place to stay for our visit to Winston-Salem. It was charming and well-appointed, without being fussy. The kitchen was well equipped. The fire pit was fun, and there is a plenty of outdoor space. The neighborhood is serene, but not far from every convenience. We were 11--2 grandparents, two children, their spouses, and a total of five grandchildren, ages 6 through 11 months--and we all had adequate space. We've already said that if we return to Winston-Salem with a large group, this will be the first place we try to reserve.

Chad and Kami are the ultimate hosts - kind, responsive, and prepared. I could not have asked for a better location or amenities than those provided at their house just minutes from Wake Forest University. They went out of their way to make sure our visit was the very best it could be, which made our group's stay an absolute pleasure. I will continue to *highly* recommend their property to anyone looking for a fantastic place to call home while visiting Winston-Salem. It's an absolute gem! Thank you, Chad and Kami, for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Chad and / or Kami Leslie

Host profile image
Chad, Kami and the boys, Leo and Yilan.

 World travelers, from France / Brazil and the USA, we spent the last 20 years all over the world working in theater, entertainment, and education. We produced high profile special events for companies such as Cirque du Soleil, Franco Dragon, MGM, Wynns, and created unique experiences with the highest standards. We have visited some of the most beautiful places around the world and stayed at some of the most exquisite resorts, hotels, and VRBO's and have come to understand what it means to be comfortable when you travel. Even though we weren't born and raised in North Carolina, we are North Carolinians in both heart and mind. We have now established a home here in Winston-Salem and we are creating Great Experiences for Great People. Bethabara Forest is a place for you to experience the best of world class hospitality. We invite you to enjoy the peace and comfort of a piece of Paradise in a forest only a few minutes away from the convenience of the city. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Winston-Salem, the City of Arts & Innovation! Town & Country is a well-established Mid Century residential neighborhood. Wooded, with a small lake and streams, full of wildlife: birds, deer, foxes, rabbits, and beautiful gardens with flowers and trees that change with the seasons.

What makes this property unique

We love the outdoors and yet, don't want to be too far away from the comforts of a warm home and the excitement of a lively city. Bethabara Forest is all that and more.

With ample outdoor space, you can cozy up to the solo stove fire pit comfortably hidden away in the forested back yard, or enjoy drinks and a meal around the outdoor lounge area.

For the indoor types, enjoy mornings with your coffee around the hand made French Oak table in the den as you look out the bay window and watch deer, rabbits, squirrels and fox romp around the forest.

Looking for a bit more fun and games, dive into the basement for a movie on the 75' TV, play a round of darts or foosball with the kids, crank up the PS4 for some hardcore digital gaming, or enjoy a board game with the whole family.

Dine in the formal dining room and then lounge in the salon with a glass of wine as you wind down the evening sharing stories before you all slip off to cozy memory foam bed.

We have put a lot of time thinking about how to make your stay at Bathabara Forest as memorable as possible, and we hope to have the opportunity to share this special place with you.
