Are you looking for a home away from home? Why not escape to Wil-deer-ness on the Creek. Centrally located just south of Raleigh NC. This beautiful cape cod home nestled on over one wooded acre is located just minutes from the towns of Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs North Carolina. Convenient access to all areas of the triangle including Raleigh, Research Triangle Park (RTP), Apex, and more! This extended-stay short-term rental is available to book for 3 nights up to 2 weeks at a time. This cozy, three bedroom, three bath home which sleeps up to six people, comes fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing, peaceful and memorable stay. The property is fully furnished, linens and all paper products (to get you started) are included, all kitchenware provided and is close to many area attractions. Relax on the screened porch with a beautiful forest view. Cool off on those hot summer days in the full finished basement. Play a friendly game of cards, checkers, or foosball in the game room. Surf the internet, or catch your favorite streaming shows via Roku on one of 3 TVs provided in the property. You can also enjoy the large back yard with a game of cornhole which is provided.

There are plenty of local attractions to keep you busy when you go out for the day. You'll discover many fine restaurants, golf courses, breweries, museums, parks and hiking trails. See our attractions page on this website to see many more area attractions you can visit. Be sure to google things to do in the area as well since there are way too many things to list here! Wil-deer-ness on the Creek is also within an hour's drive of Durham and Chapel Hill. So no matter where you're from, if you're looking to visit the Triangle area of North Carolina and enjoy all that the cities have to offer, but want to "come home" to the peace and quiet of the country, then you need to escape to Wil-deer-ness on the Creek!

Beautiful little house in the woods
We loved staying at this house! Very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was here. There were also instructions posted throughout the building which was very helpful. The screened in porch was wonderful and we sat out there a lot! The only thing I would improve is to maybe use lighter colors on the interior to brighten the place up a bit. That said, super nice place and probably the cleanest short term rental we’ve ever used. Loved it!

Great Stay
We were in town for our daughter's graduation from Chapel Hill. Super nice location, everything is as pictured. Wonderful screened in porch - we didn't have much time to enjoy the backyard, but certainly would have if we were there longer!! Would definitely consider another stay there!

Think of what you want your home away from home to be like and make it happen. That's what we did with Wil-deer-ness on the Creek. We're always striving to make it the best it can be and are actively involved with our property. We manage the home completely on our own which means you and the home get our personal attention. Many rentals are managed through management companies which have so many properties they can't give the time and attention that's deserved to each property. Those owners might make it to their property once a year, if that. And we all know, no one is going to take pride in and give extra care to a property the way the owner will. That's why we handle everything from advertising, to bookings, to maintenance and follow-up on our own. We don't want to trust someone else to make our home great, we want to know it is firsthand. We are there personally between most guests to make sure everything is in good working order. We listen to our guests. We always ask for feedback after every stay and take your suggestions seriously. At our other properties, we have implemented many guest recommendations over the years which is why our guests return over and over again. We feel your stay should be a time to make family memories, and just relax & unwind. At Wil-deer-ness on the Creek you can do just that...we take care of everything else!

Why they chose this property

We personally lived in this property for over 20 years. It's in a quiet neighborhood with a single street. In the Spring/Summer/Fall when the leaves are on the trees, you feel like you're in your own little wooded retreat. You can't see any homes behind you when the leaves are on the trees. The land behind the home is a protected water shed area, so there will never be anything built closer than what already exists. The home is located close to many attractions and metro areas of the triangle. You can be to any number of towns/cities in under an hour's drive to enjoy all the cities have to offer. The closest towns are Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs...both under 10 miles away. So no matter what brings you to town - business or pleasure - go explore the city then come home to your little piece of country at Wil-deer-ness on the Creek.

What makes this property unique

We have stayed at vacation rentals in various areas ourselves and learned from those experiences. Like everyone, we hate packing for vacation and almost always leave something behind. At Wil-deer-ness on the Creek, we provide all the bedding, linens & paper products to get you started so you don't have to worry about them. A hair dryer is provided so that's one less thing to pack. Plan to arrive late but can't survive without your morning coffee? We provide complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate & more so you have some supplies to carry you over until you can make a grocery store run. What about rainy days? A lot of places may have outdoor activities but if you're stuck inside it's boring. Not at Wil-deer-ness on the Creek! We have a game room in the basement that has a foosball table, poker cards, uno cards, and a checker board.
Each TV is equipped with a Roku streaming device, so you can catch a movie or stay caught up on your favorite shows. You can even enjoy the outdoors in the rain since there's a large screened porch off of the kitchen area. A lot of homes advertise privacy & we deliver it! When the leaves are on the trees, you can sit on the screened porch and feel like you're the only one there. You won't see any of the homes behind the home (unless you try REALLY hard). You can just sit, relax, and enjoy the sound of nature. You'll probably see deer wandering by as well - we usually have multiple fawns each Spring playing around in the back yard with their mama close by. Contact us to book your next stay at Wil-deer-ness...you won't be disappointed!
