You'll also have access to another bedroom with a queen bed, a cozy pocket-sized bedroom with a twin, and a converted sunroom bedroom with a double bed.

Please note that Betty is an older home and the bottom unit in a duplex, so you may encounter some street noise or hear neighbors walking around upstairs. However, we assure you that our team has taken every step possible to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. We provide white noise/fans for light sleepers and have installed sound-dampening curtains to minimize any noise disruptions during your stay.

This home is owner-managed and cleaned with love. We respond fast, live locally, and make deep and meaningful connections with our guests while giving you all the privacy you desire.

No smoking in the home. As per Wake County short-term rental statutes, no parties are permitted. Quiet hours are from 10 pm to 8:30 am.

We love and welcome everyone!
