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!

The perfect getaway with family!

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Chad and / or Kami Leslie

Host profile image
Chad, Kami and the boys, Leo and Yilan.

 World travelers, from France / Brazil and the USA, we spent the last 20 years all over the world working in theater, entertainment, and education. We produced high profile special events for companies such as Cirque du Soleil, Franco Dragon, MGM, Wynns, and created unique experiences with the highest standards. We have visited some of the most beautiful places around the world and stayed at some of the most exquisite resorts, hotels, and VRBO's and have come to understand what it means to be comfortable when you travel. Even though we weren't born and raised in North Carolina, we are North Carolinians in both heart and mind. We have now established a home here in Winston-Salem and we are creating Great Experiences for Great People. Bethabara Forest is a place for you to experience the best of world class hospitality. We invite you to enjoy the peace and comfort of a piece of Paradise in a forest only a few minutes away from the convenience of the city. We hope you love it as much as we do.

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.
