We traveled with our elderly cat, Lola, and stayed here for 5 days while visiting family. The beds were comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet and easily accessible. We did laundry and cooked a few meals. Overall a great experience and we would stay here again.
Adorable touches throughout that made the place unique and full of personality. The host was incredibly accommodating amd so helpful!! We would absolutely stay in one of her locations again!
Debra was amazing! Very nice and responsive seriously one of the best! The house was perfect! Plenty of space for everyone, loved the patio, nice neighborhood, and can't forget the heated toilet seats!!!! Seriously not sure how I can even live without it now!!! Amazing home with an amazing host! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

That’s so sweet! Thank you :)
And I can’t live without heated toilet seats in my life 😆
Our Stay was perfect for the pup and us. The fenced in backyard was great for our dog and the covered patio for us.Will definitely book with Deb again.
Debra was a great host and communication was excellent before we booked and arrival! Place was perfect for myself and 3 friends with the 4 bedrooms! I was concerned about place being pet friendly because of my allergies but never had any problems during stay! We especially loved the back porch enjoying our coffee every morning!
Quaint, clean, character bungalow. Excellent location. Handled five adults especially with the inviting patio. The exterior washroom was a great bonus.
Well equiped and organized home with cozy back yard for our group of 3 adults and 1 mid sized dog. Communication with the owner was excellent, very informative and prompt replies. We also appreciated all the small touches they provided (welcome kit for dog, light switches labeled, etc)
Great facility well-maintained. Debra was very responsive. Only problem is that front steps and small bathroom are a problem for someone with limited mobility but we managed that issue.
Great property! Location was great! Close to everything we wanted to do. Heated toilet seats were a surprise. Would definitely stay there again when heading to Raleigh.
We enjoyed our stay at the house. It’s an older house but very clean and updated. We really enjoyed the patio and spent a lot of time outside. Would definitely stay here again.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here! Great communication from the owner, very clean, spacious, beautiful backyard and great location.

About the host
Hosted by Debra
We moved to Wake Forest in 2010, right as we were starting to build our family (I was pregnant with my first). As soon as I had my daughter, I decided to leave the workforce and focus on taking care of my family and house. Through the years I have filled my time with volunteering throughout the community. I am very active in the school's PTA, organize all of the social activities in my neighborhood (and we do lots!), and taught Sunday School when the kids were younger. In the past few years, I have really developed a love for real estate investing. In my spare time, I love reading/listening/learning all things real estate and financial literacy (my nerdy side can't help it!). I take pride in my houses and in treating my tenants well.
Why they chose this property
I love real estate and I love hosting, so putting the two together seemed natural. In the past, I have only been involved in long term rentals and just ventured upon the short term rental world recently. I love the need it fills when you have outgrown the small space of a hotel room with no kitchen. I love the personal connections you make and the personal touches you can add when hosting short stays.
What makes this property unique
Heated toilet seats are literally one of my favorite things in life! Each bathroom is equipped with one. If you have never tried one...your tush will thank you :)
