Cute wooded chalet in the heart of Wake Forest

Easy check in. Kitchen had all that I needed to cook and feed local family . Comfy, clean. Grandchildren loved the pool, swing set and pac man. Added bonus, each room had a large streaming TV. Feels very secluded but only 2-3 minutes from all shopping and Wake Forest I would definitely recommend.

In town cabin !

We plan to go back for a longer stay! The home was perfect and had a little something for everyone including a fenced in yard for our dogs. We had fun playing ping pong and swimming as the weather was so nice. The home was set back so it was private yet close to many stores, restaurants, and a large park that had great walking trails!

Perfect staycation.

The house is so secluded on a hill in the woods we felt like we were in the mountains. It was great to swim, play ping pong, grill out on the deck, ride bikes and walk in Joyner park. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped with everything in perfect condition. Perfect fun vacation for our family.

Wedding Guest Lodging

I had wedding guests stay at the property. It was a perfect location, where you felt away from the world but also near downtown to make errands easy. The hosts were fantastic and super communicative with us about access into the property. The place is well maintained and filled with thoughtful, fun details.

AMAZING mountain cabin in town

My 2 adult daughters and 3 grandchildren enjoyed this beautiful home. The home was immaculate and everything we needed was available. Kitchen was wonderful and even had coffee pods and sugar for coffee. There are games for the kids and the pool is perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this home. The property manager was very responsive. Added bonus was an excellent grocery store and shopping center very close by. I highly recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future.
