Enjoy a peaceful stay at LunaTerra, our nine bed home set on a magical ½ acre partially wooded lot. Experience instant tranquility as you soak in the scenery from the grand screened-in porch or expansive back patio.

Outdoor Space:
We love the house but the ½ acre of yards, wildlife and tranquility is our favorite aspect of this property. Sometimes best enjoyed in the screened in porch and other times enjoyed on the tree swing. Enjoyable anytime of year due to successional gardening.

Made My Mothers Birthday Special

Meg & Mike were terrific hosts. I informed them that we were celebrating my mother's 70th birthday when booking. To our surprise, they wrote her & the family a card wishing her a Happy Birthday. The home was gorgeous and very spacious. The backyard was like an oasis, very peaceful and calming. Overall, we had an amazing stay, and the host made my mother feel special on her birthday. Oh, and the beds were super comfortable. My 7-year-old nephew informed us that we have to come back next year for my mother's birthday, and we all agreed. Thank you Meg & Mike for making this my mother's best birthday (her words not mine).

Serene Comfort with all the Conveniences

We had a fabulous stay at Luna Terra! It was the perfect place to gather the family together to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from law school. The house was equipped with wonderful amenities that made everything flow smoothly. The beautiful back screened-in patio overlooking a gloriously landscaped yard felt like we were in the middle of nature. Meg and Mike were awesome hosts and made our stay fantastic! We are sure to stay at Luna Terra if we are in the area on a future trip.

Wonderful location

Great house for extended family to spend weekend together. Very spacious. Highlight is the screened porch looking out to backyard - a must have for our next house we did not know we needed. Property manager very communicative and responsive and cover our every need. Overall 10/10.

Wonderful stay in Wake Forest!

This house worked perfectly for us to share with my brother’s family as we visited other local family for the holidays. The beds were comfy and kitchen was stocked enough for simple meals. They had good quality soaps provided. It was so nice to be able to bring our dog. It was a lovely, quiet neighborhood for walking the dog. We found a nice coffee shop nearby that we loved, Summer Moon coffee. The owners are super responsive and helpful. We’d love to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the back yard! It looks lovely. We definitely recommend this place.

Why they chose this property

We love the tranquil LunaTerra neighborhood with mature trees and sidewalk lined streets.

What makes this property unique

LunaTerra is a 9 bed, 5 bedroom home on ½ acre ethereal wooded lot with a landscaped front & backyard; every month a new plant is blooming. The natural light starts in the front of the house in the morning and wraps around the house in the afternoon while you relax enjoy the screened-in porch while listening to all of the wildlife.
