everything was great! very welcoming and had wonderful stay with our dog. big yard and close to major road to get around. would stay again if going to raleigh.
Perfect place to stay for a short weekend getaway for a concert we were attending in Raleigh. All the basic necessities were available to us and being pet friendly is always a big plus!

It was a good place to stay. Liked having a living area away from sleeping area. Was very clean
Great experience from placing the reservation to checkout! Quiet ocation was perfect for easily getting around Raleigh while visiting friends in the area. Communication was great and hosts were more like old friends. We definitely recommend this A guest cottage!
We loved staying at this sweet little guest house! It was the perfect base for a lot of adventuring. very quiet and calm, a great place to recharge. Bed was super comfy, shower was nice, mirror had nice lighting. we enjoyed the little breakfast nook and cooktop as well as the patio seating. Not too far from downtown raleigh and a manageable drive to chapel hill. Wifi and signal wasn’t super strong so I wouldn’t recommend trying to take a video call or anything here. we also enjoyed the village district shopping center about 15 min away. I loved seeing the little amenities for dogs tucked away.

We are so happy to know you enjoyed your stay. If only you had let us know about the Internet, we simply would’ve reset the router. Generally, we have excellent connection. We hope you come back again!
This was a great location in a very nice walkable neighborhood-very neat and clean with everything we needed. We appreciated that it was pet friendly with a big yard for our dog to wonder. The owners were super friendly & responded quickly to any questions we had-we will definitely be back again!!
I stayed here during Christmas so I could visit my daughter and her family. This was my second time here and I will go again. It is so comfortable, easy to get to but more important I feel safe there. I would totaly recommend!
Very quiet surroundings and easy travel to downtown Raleigh. The bed and furniture were just perfect in an extremely clean and nicely decorated guest house to make for a relaxing getaway. Looking forward to a return visit.

Thank you so much. We look forward to your return!
The guest house is super cute and functional for a short stay. It was a very comfortable to sleep and relax at night. Raleigh is just a short drive away, and neighbor hood is established and serene. Loved staying at Anne-Marie’s place.
This was a great place to stay for a few weeks. Enough space to get work done and relax. It is up-to-date, clean and close to the greenway and aquatic center. Definitely recommended!
The property was in a great community. It was not far at all from downtown ! We throughly enjoyed our stay & we will 100% be rebooking here for our annual trip !
This place is as charming as it gets. As a senior, solo traveler, I felt safe and comfortable. The location was spot on for visits with friends and family in the Raleigh area over this holiday time. I plan to return!
I had a lovely stay at Anne Marie and Tony’s place. I was in town for a wedding and wanted a little getaway for myself between all the events and this was just what I needed. Quiet property, tucked away, beautiful garden to have your morning coffee, private parking, nice little kitchen. Hosts are quick to respond and very helpful! Would absolutely stay here again!

The apt. was very generously furnished with items for comfort and cooking. The gardens are a big plus! The hostess was readily available for questions or requests.
Anne Marie’s place was amazing! This guest house is well appointed, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. The back yard/garden was so nicely shaded and peaceful, too!
Anne Marie was super communicative and kind. I couldn’t recommend this place any more.
