Big Warm Hug of a Cabin! Luxury Linens, Best Coffee Station for Miles
Welcome to 'Owl or Nothing', a thoughtfully designed cabin on a quiet wooded acre. The cabin is fresh, clean, luxuriously furnished, has amenities galore & beautiful outdoor spaces. It has fine linens, a big zero gravity hanging chair, a fully stocked kitchen, & THE BEST short-term rental coffee station (no, really). Although just minutes from shops & restaurants, the house is private, secluded, & quiet. Close to Downtown Raleigh, Cary, Apex, & minutes to Historical Yates and Lake Wheeler Beach!
♥ Owl or Nothing has 'adopted' a little injured Barred Owl named Artemis from the Carolina Raptor Center! A portion of your stay goes directly to the raptor center monthly to help feed Artemis and other local owls. More info about Artemis can be found in the guest guide located in the home.
The spacious home features:
✦ Sweeping vaulted ceilings with a large and open living/dining area
✦ X-tra Large wood-burning fireplace and outdoor fire pit
✦ Over-sized screened-in porch (w/ abundant wildlife viewing)
✦Off-the-hook coffee station (French press, Breville Barista espresso maker, pod, drip, pour-over, teas... high-quality coffee w/ ALL the fixings)
✦ Over an acre on a quiet, private, wooded lot (the entire acre has been mosquito treated)
✦ 565Mbps lightning-fast wifi
✦ Oversized zero-gravity indoor hanging chair
✦ 12" memory foam mattresses with luxury 800 thread-count bedding
✦ Fluffy Turkish cotton bath towels
✦ Paul Mitchell shampoos
✦ (Pitch) black-out curtains
✦ Pack & Play (with bedding & mattress), a high chair, booster seat, and kids' toys and books (for all ages).
✦ Roku tv with private log-in to all major tv apps and tons of free tv and movies
✦ In & outdoor dining areas for ten+ people
✦ Fully stocked kitchen with enough kitchen extras to prepare a Thanksgiving meal or bake a cake!
✦ Books, games, and tons of extras to make sure that you are extremely comfortable
✦ Phone chargers and multiple blue-tooth speakers
House Setup:
The Owl or Nothing accommodation features a master bedroom on the main downstairs level, equipped with a queen bed that can be used by guests with mobility impairments (however, please note that there are a few stairs at the front entry of the home). The main level also comprises a full bathroom, which is the only one available on this level. Moving upstairs, you will discover two more bedrooms with queen-size beds, two twin memory foam foldable beds (in one of the closets), and another full bathroom. Note: you can move the memory foam foldable beds to any area in the house.
The house is equipped with a keyless entry. You will be issued a personal code that expires upon checkout. Just enter the home and relax after your long journey. Please let me know if you would like me to meet you upon arrival!
Guests have access to the entire house and property. Driveway parking is uncovered and plentiful.
This home is owner-managed and cleaned with love. We respond fast, live locally, and make deep and meaningful connections with our guests while giving you all the privacy you desire.
No smoking in the home. As per Wake County short-term rental statutes, no parties are permitted. Quiet hours are from 10 pm to 8:30 am.
We love and welcome everyone!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Barbara E
Hello! My name is Barbara, and my little guy is Dante. We are a wildly happy little solo duo. We obsess over all things space, science, and AI. We also love treasure hunting at thrift stores and antique stores, baking, and kitties! I am from NY, but lived for ten years in Seattle, seven in Spain, two in Denver, and have finally joined my family here in Raleigh (and we're here to stay)!
With this home, I am dedicated to making a good life for my son and to show him the value of hard work mixed with love, kindness, and hospitality. We are honored to share it and hope that it touches our guests' hearts the same way it does ours.
