About this property

4BR North Raleigh Retreat on a Quiet Acre

Welcome to Cardinal’s Nest - a serene 1-acre retreat in North Raleigh with four bedrooms, two baths, game room, and a fenced mini dog run. Enjoy luxury linens, a fully equipped kitchen, gourmet coffee bar, smart TV, fiber optic Wi-Fi, and workspace. Listen to the babbling creek while you fall asleep (season-dependent), or explore nearby parks and trails. Minutes from shops, restaurants, RDU, WRAL Soccer Park, Wake Tech, Duke, WakeMed, and NC State. Owner-managed with quick, thoughtful communication.

Settle into your North Raleigh sanctuary: a spacious, stylish four-bedroom, two-bath home on a private acre of wooded land. Inside, find an open living area filled with natural light, luxe memory-foam mattresses with premium linens, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for family meals. Gather in the den for poker, board games, or movie nights, or relax on the deck with comfortable seating and a grill. Enjoy the fenced dog area and pet goodies such as beds and blankets. There are also lots of toys and baby gear (pack-n-play, high chair). The gourmet coffee station includes a pour-over setup, pods, French press, and drip as well as an espresso maker! You’ll have fiber optic high-speed Wi-Fi, central heat/AC, smart TVs, a small laundry closet, and thoughtfully designed décor throughout.

* Bed/bedroom layout: Three upstairs bedrooms, all with Queen beds. One downstairs bedroom off the game room with two single beds and two 10" mattress memory foam foldable cots (comfy enough for adults) that can be placed anywhere in the home.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara E

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Barbara, and my little guy is Dante. We are a wildly happy solo duo. We obsess over all things space, science, and AI. We also love treasure hunting at thrift stores and antique stores, baking, and kitties! I am from NY, but lived for ten years in Seattle, seven in Spain, two in Denver, and have finally joined my family here in Raleigh (and we're here to stay)!

I professionally hosted (and cleaned) short-term rentals for 15 years and have always wanted to own one. In the Summer of 2022, Dante and I went on the search for THE perfect home to share with Raleigh-bound travelers and finally found The Cardinal's Nest. I am dedicated to making a good life for my son through this home while showing him the value of hard work mixed with love, kindness, and hospitality. We are honored to share it and hope that it touches our guests' hearts the same way it does ours.
