About this property

Mountain retreat minutes from Wake Forest.

No one who visits isn't left for words.. Four bedrooms, two on the main level and two up, plus four full baths make for an easy share situation for family or couples.
The house is a product of our imaginations and skill levels.

This has been our home since the early 90's. It was a bit cramped and "tired" when we bought it but we expanded as our boys grew. We are happy to share it now so that others can feel the the "ahhhh..." as you drive down the curvy driveway. We live in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by friends of over 30 years we are really sensitive to noise limits. WE STRICTLY ENFORCE A 10:00 OUTDOOR NOISE CURFEW. We hope you understand.

The following events have minimum stays.
Spring and Fall Furniture Market 4 nights.
WFU Graduation 4 nights.
WFU Homecoming 3 nights
Thanksgiving 4 nights
Christmas 4 nights.

Our outdoor porch is a lovely place to gather. We do ask that you keep the volume low out here as the topography really makes voices travel. We are in a quiet neighborhood so we like to be respectful of our neighbors. We have a small fire pit on the porch as well. Do be careful. We have a fireplace in the living room (currently it is not operable due to chimney issues) and wood stove in the kitchen which we have just discovered to have an issue with the chimney. Old houses!!! We have a gas grill. The yard is large and rambling. Do keep and eye on your children.


***NO WEDDINGS OR EVENTS MAY BE HOSTED HERE. QUIET FAMILIES WELCOME. THANK YOU.
***SPECIAL REQUEST: Please, no perfumes, hairspray, or scented candles indoors - homeowner is sensitive to smells. !If you must use these products, please do so outdoors. Thank you.
***We are dog friendly please ask us about our pet deposit policy.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Host profile image
Our home is the product of who we are; an interior designer and a Realtor who wants to be an architect. Featured in Winston Salem Magazine, this 3400 s.f. (website hidden) is part log cabin and part cutting edge hi tech. Relaxing, peaceful, serene. We are in the middle of the woods yet ten minutes from downtown and a mile and a half from Wake Forest University. All mod cons including WiFi, cable, lots of parking. We built this house to relax in. We live here when not accommodating guests. We have enjoyed our experience staying in others homes around the world and thought we would share our place with fellow travelers. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!



Why they chose this property

The house and location are unique in that we are 7-8 minutes from Winston Salem's excellent and vibrant downtown and yet once you drive down the driveway you feel a million miles from its hustle and bustle.

What makes this property unique

We are located in a neighborhood called Lake of the Woods where the elite of Winston Salem built their hunting cabins in the 1930's. Our house was built as a one room log cabin by the Hanes family, of Hanes Hosiery. Many, many iterations later it is a structure that wows everyone who visits. Nearby are many restaurants, Indian, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, and several very good mid to upper level American. One note, the house has several level changes and may not be suitable for some guests. My 86 year old mother-in-law does fine but wanted to make you aware.
