this was the third time we’ve stayed @ jeff and ellen’s property.it’s a fabulous place — very clean! and u will not find a better stocked kitchen in any short-term rental. if u’re going to a game or event @ pnc/lenova/carter-finley, u cant beat the location.that said — the place is on a busy street, not really walkable. but we didnt care abt that.we did care that the fireplace wasnt yet available for use on nov 1 (they turn it on in mid-nov) it might be good for the listing to reflect that. they also allowed us to arrive early (for 75), which was nice.it’s worked really well for our group of friends! hope 2 be back next football season!

NCSU graduation weekend

This was our family’s second time staying at this property and it was wonderful. The house is very spacious and clean, and the location was very convenient for all we wanted to do. We visited NC State campus, downtown Raleigh and Carter Finley Stadium. Communication with the owner was seamless! We would definitely return to this property in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff

Host profile image
I am 51 years old and have traveled extensively throughout North America which has made me well aware of what it takes to make a guest feel welcome and relaxed. My wife and I have managed our own personal rental properties for the past fifteen years and understand the importnance of a well maintained property. We are trying our hand at the short term lodging market.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I fell in love with this property because of its architectural detail, floor plan, and proximity to city trails. Best of all, our location is just 2 blocks from the Greenway Trail. Our family loves exploring the trail network in Raleigh as well as the walkability of the surrounding neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Very private setting with a great back porch, deck and patio. The setting feels like you are tucked in a mature forest. The two story wall of windows in the family room allows a great indoor view of the trees. The backyard is very secluded, quiet, and private.
