About the host

Hosted by Michelle Melvin

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Michelle, welcome to my home away from home! and I've had the pleasure of owning this wonderful home since 1999. For over two decades, Wake Forest has been my cherished hometown, and I'm thrilled to share this personal slice of heaven with you. I moved here from Michigan to Wake Forest in 1994 for a position with Eastman Kodak in Marketing. I fell in love with the town and decided to put down roots and call it home.

It's remarkable how this lovely little town, has grown and evolved over the years. Wake Forest has certainly expanded, yet it has retained its charm and allure, drawing in people who appreciate its unique character. I've even had guests who literally purchased a home a few streets over as they enjoyed the area so much.

I hope you relish every moment of your stay, creating cherished memories in this lovely corner of Wake Forest. Enjoy your time here!

Why they chose this property

What makes this property so special? Well, nestled on a serene acre of wooded land, it offers a unique blend of tranquility and convenience. Located just two miles from historic downtown Wake Forest, you're within a 30-minute drive of downtown Raleigh, making it easy to explore the vibrant city while enjoying the comforts of a peaceful retreat.

What makes this property unique

Fenced in yard for safety accessible by the deck with one side featuring a ramp. We installed this for our personal elderly dog and guests have enjoyed it so much we have left it. Home is very private and can be VERY dark so great ability to see the starts from the deck. The reservoir is two miles down the road for a nice walk, mountain bike single track is around it as well. Enjoy the brewery and everything historic Wake Forest has to offer.
