Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“Spent a week here and loved everything about this home. The location was central to everywhere I needed to be throughout my stay. I felt very safe in the neighborhood as well. The house was equipped with everything we needed, and communication with Debra was quick and timely. The home was very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable! Info was provided after booking on nearby grocery stores, hospitals, and activities to do in the area. This is how I found out about Wegman’s AKA my new favorite grocery store! I might be in Raleigh once a year from now on and this home will definitely be where I plan on staying for my next trip.” - Hana

“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.


☆☆ 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 :)

About the host

Hosted by Debra

Host profile image
We moved to Wake Forest in 2010, right as we were starting to build our family (I was pregnant with my first). As soon as I had my daughter, I decided to leave the workforce and focus on taking care of my family and house. Through the years I have filled my time with volunteering throughout the community. I spent many years on the school's PTA, organized the social activities in my neighborhood, and taught Sunday School.
In the past few years, I have really developed a love for real estate investing. In my spare time, I love reading/listening/learning all things real estate and financial literacy (my nerdy side can't help it!). I take pride in my houses and in treating my tenants well.

Why they chose this property

I love real estate and I love hosting, so putting the two together seemed natural. In the past, I have only been involved in long-term rentals and just ventured into the short-term rental world in the past few years. I love the need it fills when you have outgrown the small space of a hotel room with no kitchen. I love the personal connections you make and the personal touches you can add when hosting short stays.

What makes this property unique

This space is ideally located just a short walk from restaurants and shops. A digital guidebook will be sent after booking to expand more on the details of the house and surrounding area, complete with my recommendations of places to eat.
