The home was great and very spacious! It was the perfect location for our family to gather as we prepared for my sisters wedding. The home was large enough to have a small get together one night for the family that traveled in from New York! There were areas of the home that could have been cleaned a little better but communication with the property manager made it easy to deal with! I would definitely come back and stay in this home again if we travel with a large group to NC! Communication with the host was perfect and timely with every question I had being answered! Thank you for a great stay and a great home!

Home was large but musty smell throughout. Counters and tables needed cleaning. Floors need professional cleaning. Outside chairs near fireplace need new cushions. Can't sit on ones there.Overall house could be really nice if someone spent time to clean.

Baby shower weekend.

The property itself is beautiful and the home has a lot to offer. Contact with the property manager at first was a little bit lax but dramatically improved as we progressed.However, the cleanliness, overall was below par. Specifically, the stove was never cleaned, the counters had a film on them. the dining room table was filthy. Dishes were left in the drying rack on the counter.

Wonderful house but was dirty.

Spider webs all over house. Porch and outside of windows and inside in some areas. Chairs were broken for two of the dining areas. So not enough chairs for us. Low water pressure and little hot water for showers. Such a nice house but needs some upkeep

Amazing home!!!

First of all, this home is gorgeous! Absolutely stunning. We loved everything about this house, from the layout to the decor. Was very roomy, and accommodated very nicely our group of bridesmaids. Kitchen was furnished with everything you could think of. We really loved sitting on the back patio with outdoor fireplace every night! Large screened in back porch was also a plus. I would definitely stay here again if the occasion to be in the area came up.

We were in town for a wedding. There were plenty of beautifully appointed bedrooms for our family to stay. The home is conveniently located near stores, restaurants etc, and yet is in a rural area that provides a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Was the perfect place for our trip!

The perfect setting & Location for my 60th Birthday!

Absolute splendor! This home wrapped its arms around my vision for my 60th birthday gathering with family and friends. From rising in the morning and having coffee on the Oversized screened in porch- watching the horses gallop and hearing nature sing to evening falling and filling this beautiful open floor plan home with laughter, joy, smiles and happiness..I could have not asked for more! The host were very attentive when I needed to contact them. The house was very clean and had everything you would need in the kitchen and pantry if you forget anything! I will DEFINATELY plan to gather here again!

Family Reunion in Raleigh Fall 2023

I live in South Raleigh and was planning for 10 family members to travel in for a reunion weekend in Sep 2023. I decided to find a large VRBO for them to stay together and make the time spent so much more personal and lovely for them while here (most for first time in NC). This house was so amazing and a PERFECT place for them to all come and stay together. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy eating, lounging, and just reconnecting. They loved the huge backyard area and outdoor fireplace, large screened porch, oversized kitchen, many large eating spaces and tables. And of course they enjoyed watching the horses in the back and the crew of chickens and rooster visiting the house each morning for a quick bug hunt. 5 Star Stay!
