Very positive experience. The house was immaculate, the backyard was spacious and fenced in for my two small dogs, host was communicative, and we were close to everything we needed (1 mile from Crabtree Creek trail, 5 minute walk to coffee, 1 mile walk to The Ritz for a concert). My favorite part was definitely the beautiful backyard, where we enjoyed a glass of wine while playing fetch with the dogs. Thanks for a great stay!

Property was as described. Location was well suited to Main highway and various activities. The road that the house sits on, is very noisy. Noise is constant. However, if you are out during the day, you will not notice because you are not there. But when you are there, evenings, sleeping, the noise from the main road in front of the house can be loud unless you like that type of thing. The property on the inside was neat and relatively clean. However, the property on the exterior was overgrown, and not as tidy. Some yard maintenance, trimming, and power washing would go a long way. Aesthetics do matter. All in all, no serious complaints. Question? Would I stay at this property again? Probably not. The only reason is because of the road noise. A little road noise may not be an issue in the distance. But this road noise is loud as it sits right on that main road.

Great spot in Raleigh!

Wondeful stay with our 2 small dogs. Back yard is wooded, fenced and very nice for the pups. Great neighborhood, tons of stuff going on right nearby. Very busy road out front, be cautious pulling in and out.
