Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“We've stayed in a lot of AirBnB's and this is one of the best. Great location in a cute town with lots to do within a walkable distance, and much more to do within a short drive. The home is just so cute, with all the amenities you really need without a lot of clutter. The beds and linens are soft and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed for making meals or just grabbing a quick coffee. Debra is very helpful with pointing out local spots of interest, and she posted a very helpful quick sheet on the fridge about things like trash/recycling, check out procedures and nearby emergency services. I feel like I'm visiting a friend who cares about my stay. The sweet note thanking us for being repeat clients along with the little basket of snacks was really over the top. Def a gem and we hope to visit again soon.” - Darlene

“This Airbnb is adorable, clean, spacious, exactly as pictured! The location is great - in a quiet neighborhood, and walkable to everything downtown, including the conference that we attended at the Seminary. Debra is a wonderful host, responds quickly to every question and need! So much better than a hotel, & we didn't have to rent a car!!” - Michael

“Debra’s property is fantastic!! The location is great and within walking distance to the quaint Wake Forest downtown. She has made sure everything is super functional, and it’s spotless. My husband commented that it’s the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at. Highly recommend!!.” - Teresa

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆

Enjoy a peaceful sleep every night of your stay in one of the two tastefully-decorated bedrooms. Each room has a Smart TV, nightstands, storage space for your belongings, and a plush bed to sink into after a day outside. The master bed also has an adjustable bed frame.


☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆

Get ready for your day in one of the two full bathrooms. Both bathrooms are equipped with shower/tub combo and a heated toilet seat with three different heat options for your comfort level. The primary bedroom has an en suite full bathroom and the other full bathroom is located right outside the guest bedroom. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided for your convenience, so don’t worry about packing those! You’ll also find fresh towels in a bin in each bedroom.

There’s also a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer so that you can easily keep your clothes fresh during your stay. You will just need to bring your laundry detergent.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LOUNGE ☆☆

Make delicious meals in the kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you need to cook as if you were at home. You’ll even find a full charging station so you can plug your devices for convenient charging. Start your day off with a complimentary cup of coffee and enjoy it while rocking on the front porch.

This open concept house has the dining area between the kitchen and the living room. The living area is comfortably decorated with two couches, complete with pillows and blankets to snuggle up with. Sit back and watch a show on the Smart TV or plan your next day in Wake Forest using high-speed WiFi. You’ll find a selection of board games in the laundry room in case you want some family entertainment for a rainy day or evening.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆

Step out onto the back porch, a great place to sit back, relax, and hang out with your group. This porch opens up to a large backyard. If the season is right, you will get to enjoy the aroma of the gardenias on the side.

Next to the front door, you’ll also find a small front porch with two rocking chairs, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning and enjoying the quiet neighborhood. The neighbor's cat, Templeton, usually stops by for an extra rub :)

This was the perfect accommodation for our four-night stay. Well stocked, well appointed. Host was very helpful with suggestions (where to eat, what to do) and was available through check-in should we have needed assistance. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Thank you!

Adorable Home

We really enjoyed our stay this weekend. The house is very well-appointed. Debra left some snacks & waters for us and a big basket of items for our dogs. It's super clean, comfortable beds, great fenced-in backyard for the dogs. And I never knew I needed a heated toilet seat until this weekend! That was a bonus! Great location walkable to downtown Wake Forest. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful home near historic downtown Wake Forest

We really enjoyed this modern and comfortable house in Wake Forest. Modern appliances, comfortable bedrooms and all the little things one could need were provided. We especially enjoyed the deck and fenced in back yard where we listened to the birds singing while enjoying our breakfast. Off the beaten path, but not too far from restaurants and shopping. Check in was a breeze and we enjoyed great communications from Debra both before and during out stay. Thank you.

Excellent location

We enjoyed our stay in the property. The only suggestion I have is that they provide clean wash clothes and towels for each person for the number of days of your stay. I don’t want to wash towels and wash clothes everyday of my stay. Other than that it was excellent. Great location, very clean and comfortable.

Great stay!

Everything was as described. Perfect for our family of four. Property was clean and everything was easily accessible, with a nice little basket of treats to welcome us. Kitchen was well-equipped, including a variety of options for morning cuppa or cup of joe. We were very busy with a family wedding that was the reason for our trip, so we didn't get to enjoy everything about the home, including the cute back deck, but we hope to be back next time we're in the triangle. It is a perfect location for us. Thanks so much for the hospitality.
