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!

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.

There is a lot of good about this property. The host is great about communication, and the house is close to downtown Raleigh and is very clean and well-appointed. Laundry, comfy couch and living room, small kitchen, but enough room to cook meals. We had everything we needed.The main issue, which I am surprised to have not seen in other reviews, is that the house is located on a main road close to a stoplight. The road noise in the second bedroom is really bad, especially on a Friday night. This is not the fault of the host, but it should be noted that folks like me, who are light sleepers, will not sleep well.

Perfect spot for a weekend visit

This is our second time starting at this cute property and it was just as perfect as last time. Our daughter loves the “secret” Lot and our pups have a blast in the fenced in backyard. My husband and I appreciate the central location and always enjoy coming back to a fire in the fire pit.

Excellent stay. Cute home!

I loved the simple yet modern chic charm of this home. Everything was in great condition, it is decorated beautifully, beds were comfy! We stated here for a short getaway at the end of summer break for its central location to the nearby museums. The backyard is fenced- always a plus when traveling with your fur child. The place was super clean as well.
