Perfect Spot
Took my daughter up to get familiar with NC state. This spot was perfect location, nice neighborhood, close to everything we needed. Owner was kind enough to let me take a few cuttings from a plant in her yard, they are just starting to come around now. Great spot, huge backyard, screened in porch, felt like I was off the beaten path, which I love, but was in a quiet nice neighborhood. Thanks so much and sorry for the late review!!

Great location for a short stay in Raleigh
Loved this house. Comics, movie posters, more board games than you could play in a month. We had a great stay and would return.

Beautiful!
Quiet, peaceful setting to relax! Our dog enjoyed exploring the backyard. It was very convenient to highways but you’d never know at it was so serene. Great sidewalks for walking too. Would definitely return!
