Beautiful home located in a lovely, quiet and historic neighborhood. Perfect for our extended family holiday trip to our old home town. Convenient to the Wake campus, Reynolda House & Museum, downtown, etc. We were able to spread out with comfort and privacy in the bedrooms, but also gather to cook family meals and visit in the spacious living/dining area. Fantastic communication with our host.

Can’t go wrong

Really great place to stay in Winston Salem. Close to Wake Forest and all the things the campus provides. Perfect for college visits with teens as there is a lot of room to spread out so everyone can have their own space.

I cannot say anything but positive things about our stay at this home! I was able to check in a bit early(the host did not have to let me check in early). This house was beautifully decorated and SOOOO clean! There was more than enough room, and we have 9 adults staying at the house. The neighborhood is quiet, the neighbors are friendly, and we were able to walk to a local bar from the house. Daniel was so communicative and kind! Thank you for letting us experience your home, and if I ever stay in Winston-Salem again, I will definitely be staying here.

Excellent Stay

My wife and I recently got married in Winston-Salem and needed a place for us and our wedding party to stay. Daniels listing seemed like the best option, and it could not had been better. Very clean, conveniently located, and easily housed 9-10 people and 1 pet for our stay. If you are traveling with a large party I could not recommend this house or Daniel more!

Family fun in Wnston-Salem

I was looking for a home to rent for my husband and I and two grown children and their spouses for a family wedding at Reynolda Village. I wanted at least 3 bedrooms and baths and Daniel's home was just perfect. It had everything we needed, was close to everything in a lovely neighborhood. the home was comfortable, immaculate and Daniel was responsive and helpful. This is a great home for a family with little kids or big ones and I would highly recommend you choosing this home if you're in the Winston- Salem area.

Excellent stay in close proximity to Wake Forest

This is an excellent property within easy walking distance to the WFU campus. The property was immaculately clean and well stocked with all the necessary essentials, plus other touches that were very convenient like bedside USB charging stations. Everything was nice, new and in great condition. We liked being close to Wake, but not directly off Polo Rd. so it was a little quieter. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice place.

We enjoyed our stay. The host was very responsive. The home had basic essentials. Would have liked to have had a Keurig coffee maker and perhaps a few more pots and pans. Also master bedroom bed was extremely firm and not comfortable as were 2 beds in one of the other bedrooms.
