About this property
Big Warm Hug of a Cabin! Luxury Linens, Best Coffee Station for Miles
'Owl or Nothing' is a designer cabin on a quiet, wooded 1-acre lot-fresh, spotless, and stocked for easy stays. Unwind in the zero-gravity hanging chair, sleep in fine linens, and cook in a fully equipped kitchen. The star: a barista-style coffee station. Private, secluded, and peaceful yet minutes to dining and shops; a quick hop to Downtown Raleigh, Cary, and Apex, plus Historic Yates Mill and Lake Wheeler Beach. Ideal for a weekend escape, work trip, and mental health resets. See reviews!
♥ Owl or Nothing has 'adopted' a little injured Barred Owl named Artemis from the Carolina Raptor Center! A portion of your stay goes directly to the raptor center monthly to help feed Artemis and other local owls. More info about Artemis can be found in the guest guide located in the home.

✦ X-tra Large wood-burning fireplace and outdoor fire pit

✦Off-the-hook coffee station (French press, Breville Barista espresso maker, pod, drip, pour-over, teas... high-quality coffee w/ ALL the fixings)
✦ Over an acre on a quiet, private, wooded lot (the entire acre has been mosquito treated)
✦ 565Mbps lightning-fast wifi
✦ Oversized zero-gravity indoor hanging chair
✦ 12" memory foam mattresses with luxury 800 thread-count bedding
✦ Fluffy Turkish cotton bath towels

✦ Phone chargers and blue-tooth speakers
House Setup:
The Owl or Nothing accommodation features a master bedroom on the main downstairs level, equipped with a queen bed that can be used by guests with mobility impairments (however, please note that there are a few stairs at the front entry of the home).

About the host
Hosted by Barbara E
Hello! My name is Barbara, and my little guy is Dante. We are a wildly happy little 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)!
With this home, I am dedicated to making a good life for my son and to show 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.
