Beautiful yellow house in a wooded quiet cul-de-sac. The porches were so peaceful to sit on. There was adequate space for my family of ten. The house was very clean and comfortable. We would go there again if the opportunity arose.

Everything was just so wonderful for our extended family to meet up here. Plenty of room, super clean, easy to access, easy to communicate the host. My only small complaint is that one of the rooms didn’t have a door, it was a study off of the kitchen. We still had enough beds but there was little privacy for the two who stayed in that room. But overall, we all loved the space, the back deck especially. It was perfect for our family get together.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Jul 2026
Thank you for staying at our house for your family reunion. Also thank you to mention the no door den. The reason why we don’t call it a bedroom is for the reason that it doesn’t have a door and a closet. That room is only complimentary area for guests for their babies and for the Nannie’s who stay with the babies. We do not charge you for it, it was free including the bonus room with futon. We only advertise it a 4 bedroom house. I’ll be more specific in my ad from now on. Thank you.

The house was gorgeous and spacious. But more important than that, the hosts were readily available to answer questions from the time of booking until we left and were super flexible. They reached out a few days in advance to make sure the beds/furniture would be arranged the way we needed before we arrived. An all-around great experience!

About the host

Hosted by linda phillips

Host profile image

My husband and I are two active older couple who love meeting people. We also like to travel and explore new places, always on the go either volunteering or just having an adventure. We care enough to make your stay very pleasant and make it a home to come to when away from home.

Why they chose this property

Although this house is located in an exciting mix of businesses,(ABC Corp office, SAS) restaurants, entertainments,(Koka Booth, Walnut Creek Amphitheatre, PNC Arena, State Fairground, research (RTP), education, (NCSU, Campbell University, Meredith College), Downtown Raleigh, and Nightlife, we are next to horse farms.

What makes this property unique

This house is in a secluded area surrounded by trees quiet and peaceful. The deck is mostly enjoyed to relax and picnic with family and friends. You can walk to the equestrian (.4 miles) for your daily walks with no fear of busy traffic. The only vehicles coming and going are residents of the area.
