    Great communication from our host, which made our arrival, stay, and departure flawless. The home was lovely. Plenty of room for us spread out. The only disappointing thing was our stay was short and we did not get to enjoy the outdoor amenities - hot tub, fire pit, corn hole etc. I highly recommend this property and would stay again if we return to the area.

    Great house. Plenty of space and has everything you need. Specific to us, our only issue was how loud the primary bed was. We had a baby sleeping in our room and every time we rolled over we’d wake each other and the baby up. So maybe a solid bed frame? Thank you! We look forward to next time!

    Wife and I needed a weekend refresh. House was everything listed. Great floorplan and such a cute little place. Only negatives were traffic noise and beds are all on cheaper metal frames. Make a ton of noise when you move just a little during the night. Still highly recommend this place.

    Very clean, well kept. Worked great for extended family. BBQ worked fine and hot tub was a treat. Cozy backyard set up! Very walkable to small downtown area. Kitchen was new & well furnished. We liked that MBR had own sitting area with French doors - great for multi-Gen family stay. Only comment is house is on corner of two busy streets so you do hear road noise, especially in. Morning.

    I recently stayed at this cottage while visiting the Raleigh area as a possible location to move to. This cottage was a great find!! First, the location is fantastic (within walking distance to downtown Wake Forest, a safe neighborhood & close to so much food and shopping). The yard (courtyard) is adorable with a Hot Tub, fire pit, grill, tables & chairs, great lighting, and privacy! The cottage itself is very clean and cozy. The kitchen is modern and had everything we could have needed and then some. I personally didn't use them but saw books, games and other forms of entertainment for groups or kids. Several smart TV's throughout as well. This is definitely a place I would recommend and rent again when returning to the area.
