Our experience was amazing. The home, grounds, and location are excellent. The layout of the home is very flexible for most group sizes. It’s very kid-friendly. The hosts are incredibly responsive and have appointed the home beautifully. We can’t wait to stay there again!

This amazing property so perfectly accommodated our family that stayed there and the family that came to celebrate with us while we were there. It came with everything we needed, and more! (The espresso machine was especially popular.) (We were celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary.)

Thank you so much for taking time to review your experience with us. We are glad to know the house worked well for you and your family. Welcome back any time.
Our family had the best time enjoying your lovely house. It truly felt like home away from home - minus daily stress or tasks to take care of. :) our favorite spots were the kitchen table, sun porch, and of course the foosball room! You guys have a true gift of hospitality too! Seemed like every time we thought of something we needed, we found it in the cupboards!

Perfect house for a family get together. Communication with Chad was great. House is well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Comfy beds, plush towels, many seating areas. Wonderful backyard. Very close to Wake Forest. Awesome stay!

Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family at Bethabara Forest. Please come back anytime!
We loved our stay here in Winston. The house is so beautiful, clean, and comfortable for our large family. Plenty of things to do when not exploring the city - we had bonfires, played games, hosted family dinners, and enjoyed the beautiful views. This was a 5 star rental and we would recommend to anyone interested in a vacation n Winston!

You guys were amazing guests. Thanks so much for your kind review and for taking care of the place while here. Come back and see us again anytime you’re in town.
Such a fabulous house for our large family and we had excellent communication from the host the whole trip. This house is so well appointed. My husband needed to work - found a large monitor waiting for him to plug in his laptop at the living room desk. Niece needed a bandaid - found a first aid kit in the hall bathroom. And the list goes on and on. Wish we’d had more time to enjoy the beautiful outside areas, but even the view from the windows over the forest was amazing. Our only regret is that we didn’t find this property before our son’s senior year at Wake.

The home was fantastic. Multiple floors for family units to spread out. It is located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood with a picturesque view from the morning breakfast table. The kitchen is well appointed and the Nesspresso was a treat! 5 stars all around. We rent often and this was one of the best we've stayed in.

It has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it feel like a true home away from home. The hosts are fantastic—always quick to respond to any questions we had, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail and hospitality really sets this place apart.

Host was very accommodating with check-in and check-out times which was extremely helpful.

Thanks you so much for choosing us. We are so happy to know the house worked out for you and your team. Please let us know when you are back in town. We’d love to have you stay at Bethabara Forest again.
Our experience is exactly why we love the Vrbo option. We were in town for Parents Weekend and this house gave us a welcoming place to convene over coffee and conversation with our son and another couple in town. Welcoming and well located, I recommend this home without hesitation. The hosts made sure the logistics were smooth as silk including local recommendations.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience at Bethabara Forest. Life events like yours are precisely why we opened our house for VRBO. It’s so nice to know that it is serving its purpose in providing a comfortable home for families and friends to gather together and make memories.
Welcome back any time!
Came to Winston for a mini Wake Forest reunion. Had 10 in the house, and never felt crowded. Don’t let the photos fool you - it’s 3 stories with 5 proper bedrooms!
Back yard was an added bonus! Great for spending time in during warm fall days!

Why they chose this property
Welcome to Winston-Salem, the City of Arts & Innovation!
Town & Country is a well-established Mid Century residential neighborhood. Wooded, with a small lake and streams, full of wildlife: birds, deer, foxes, rabbits, and beautiful gardens with flowers and trees that change with the seasons.
What makes this property unique
We love the outdoors and yet, don't want to be too far away from the comforts of a warm home and the excitement of a lively city. Bethabara Forest is all that and more.
With ample outdoor space, you can cozy up to the solo stove fire pit comfortably hidden away in the forested back yard, or enjoy drinks and a meal around the outdoor lounge area.
For the indoor types, enjoy mornings with your coffee around the hand made French Oak table in the den as you look out the bay window and watch deer, rabbits, squirrels and fox romp around the forest.
Looking for a bit more fun and games, dive into the basement for a movie on the 75' TV, play a round of darts or foosball with the kids, crank up the PS4 for some hardcore digital gaming, or enjoy a board game with the whole family.
Dine in the formal dining room and then lounge in the salon with a glass of wine as you wind down the evening sharing stories before you all slip off to cozy memory foam bed.
We have put a lot of time thinking about how to make your stay at Bathabara Forest as memorable as possible, and we hope to have the opportunity to share this special place with you.
