About this property
Mountain Vibes • 3BR 2BA Near Raleigh
Mountain Vibes is a clean, comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home that's perfect for everything from weekend visits to month-long stays. Whether you're visiting family, working in the area, relocating, waiting on a new home, or staying during an insurance claim, you'll have the space and conveniences to truly settle in.
Located just outside downtown Wendell and Wendell Falls, you'll enjoy a peaceful country setting while still being only minutes from shopping, restaurants, Knightdale, Raleigh, and Zebulon.
Why Guests Choose Mountain Vibes
• Sleeps up to 7 guests • Full kitchen with cookware, dishes, and dishwasher • Fast Wi-Fi and Roku Smart TV • Washer and dryer • Pet friendly • Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles, work trucks, and trailers • Much more space and privacy than an extended stay hotel
About the Property
Mountain Vibes is one side of Hidden Pond Lodge, a ranch-style duplex on more than two peaceful acres overlooking a small pond. The pond provides a beautiful view but is not accessible.
The home has been continuously improved over the years with updated furniture, newer mattresses, expanded kitchen supplies, and other upgrades based on guest feedback.
Inspired by the mountains of North Carolina, Mountain Vibes features warm, rustic décor that reflects the charm of a cozy mountain cabin. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, budget-friendly place that feels like home, you'll fit right in. If you're expecting a luxury resort or brand-new designer home, this probably isn't the best match.
The Road: The final quarter mile to the property is a private dirt and gravel road. It's easily traveled by most cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. Guests with very low sports cars or lowered vehicles may prefer to use extra caution.
Nearby: • 3 minutes to Publix • 7 minutes to Downtown Wendell • 9 minutes to Knightdale • 20 minutes to Downtown Raleigh

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed Mountain Vibes' peaceful setting, comfortable accommodations, and convenient location close to everything. Everyone at Red Carpet Furnished Homes and Eastern Wake Extended Stay truly appreciates your recommendation, and we can't wait to welcome you back this summer!
The location was perfect. It did feel very mountainy. My best friend and I stayed here with my mom for a girls weekend. The bedrooms were perfect. It had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing time. It was clean and comfortable. We had an issue with some water on the floor, thinking it was a toilet leak. Our concerns were addressed right away. We will be staying again for our next girls weekend!! Very quiet!!

Convenient to stores and restaurants, yet off the beaten path enough to relax. Check in and check out are extremely easy. Communication is top notch and host responds in a very timely manner. Highly recommend!

Great property, great location, and beautiful views!
It was a nice home However there is only a 1/2 of roll of toilet paper in the whole house. But the house was equipped with everything else as far as shampoo conditioner a body wash even laundry soap. I would stay again and I would recommend just bring your own toilet paper.

We are sad that you didn’t reach out until the very last day of your stay about how you couldn’t find the extra toilet paper. If you would have let us know as soon as you checked in we could have fixed your problem in 5 seconds. This type of review really hurts my soul because there was more than enough toilet paper in the unit. We leave at least 1 extra roll in every bathroom at all times. Additionally, we had over 40 rolls in storage in the closet right outside the unit door. We live only a few minutes down the road and are always able to assist with any needs that arise.
The access to this property was very poor, down a narrow dirt road with major ruts and dips. One morning I was blocked in by tree trimming trucks so had to drive off the road to get by.
The cleaning fees were way too high.

We call the place Hidden Pond Lodge, because it's hidden in the woods. We provide drone photos of the whole property and surrounding area, along with a picture of nothing but the dirt road, just so we can make sure every guest sees what they are booking. The road is less than a quarter mile, and is smooth dirt/gravel with very little ruts, as you can see in the pictures and description. Our cleaning fees are the lowest in the area, and the cleaning fee is displayed in the listing and checkout pages. The private nature and dirt road are prominently featured in every aspect of the listing including the title "Mountain Vibes at Hidden Pond Lodge." So sorry we weren't able to meet your expectations and we'd love to invite you to try another one of our properties, but kindly ask that you read the listing and examine the photographs so you know what you're getting yourself into.

I would stay in this unit again. We had a couple problems that were remedied quickly. This is an old place that’s been remodeled. The bedrooms are up about 6 stairs, the living area is in the lower level. It has what’s needed for most people. I will say, it’s not great for the elderly. Neither the shower nor bath have a grab bar and the surfaces are slippery. That would be a great upgrade. It is on a dirt road, and there’s quite a bit of washout along the sides of the road. It’s navigable with care. Could use some attention. That said - it’s QUIET. Loved that about the place. No street noise at all. There was a deer out back.It’s just a couple minutes to restaurants and the grocery - in town, but feels like the country. The beds were comfortable. The living room furniture was ok, but older.The rental company took a 300 deposit and we are a week out now and it’s not been returned yet.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and helpful suggestions. We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, comfortable beds, local wildlife, and the convenience of being close to town while feeling tucked away in the country. We also appreciate your comments about accessibility and have taken feedback like yours into consideration as we continue making improvements.
We're happy we were able to resolve the issues that came up during your stay quickly. As for the $300 security deposit, it is a temporary authorization hold, not a charge, and the release timing is determined by each guest's bank. Thank you for choosing Mountain Vibes, Red Carpet Furnished Homes, and Eastern Wake Extended Stay. We hope to welcome you back again!
Property is aged and needs some attention. Subfloors have failed in both bathrooms and the hallway making them spongy. Kitchen cookware is old and not sufficient to make a decent meal. Couches are stained, slip covered. Beds are terrible. Host was snarky when my elderly relative struggled with the keyless entry. Internet was spotty and couldn't support the one tv, nevermind phones or laptops. Disappointing.

We're sorry your stay didn't meet your expectations. Since this review was posted, Mountain Vibes has undergone numerous updates and improvements, including some new furniture, new mattresses, expanded kitchen inventory, and other upgrades throughout the home.
But keep in mind, this property is intentionally designed with a rustic feel to reflect an authentic NC mountain cabin, and some may call that "outdated."
We do wish these concerns had been reported during your stay so we could have addressed them in real time. Our goal has always been to resolve issues immediately whenever possible.
We also strive to provide friendly, patient service to every guest, including those who may need extra assistance with technology, and we're sorry if that wasn't your impression.
We invite future guests to compare this review with our many more recent reviews, which better reflect the Mountain Vibes experience today.
This house was a perfect place to stay for our family of four adults who planned on checking out downtown Raleigh and surrounding areas (and very affordable). :)
