The hosts were incredibly communicative and very easy to get ahold of when a minor issue came up with entry to the house. Great location, beautiful home with just about any amenity you might need - the spin bike and telescope were extra nice touches even though I didn’t get the chance to use them. I will definitely be back!

I wish I was able to leave a better review... But there are Somethings I would like to mention before anyone else stays here. First this listing doesn't state anywhere that the master bedroom is in the basement! It was cold and not a comfortable space. The window in this bedroom looked out under the deck and was full of debris, a box of nails, wood, cut up materials, metal bars, plastic ect... The grass was over grown and in places up to my knee with weeds and poison ivy. The deck had wire for railings, several snapped and not safe for pets or children. There was no directions on how to turn on the lights in the yard. There were motion lights that would come on, but when they went off you couldn't see going up midsection of stairs, to which I fell the first day. Once we found the light cord, they were on a mounted electrical strip outside, not to code at all. All of the outside furniture was incredibly dirty, not even remotely cleaned for our arrival to use. The location is great, lovely neighborhood, clean inside the home. This rental is over priced for what you get and the condition of the home. We went to Asheville NC after and stayed in Asheville at another VRBO for the same price and it was wonderful!!!

Awesome and Relaxing

Our stay was awesome! This home is lovely with a fantastic back yard and multiple decks. The location is very quiet and relaxing, but very close to an assortment of great restaurants. Our host Andrea was excellent checking in everyday to see if everything was to our liking. All amenities were provided for. It was an excellent stay and we will be back!!

House in the woods

The house was very clean and in a good neighborhood. There are a lot of steps so would not recommend to people with small children. Only had sample sizes of toiletries.

Great for long term stays

I actually stayed at this property for several weeks due to being displaced from my home for repairs. It's a really great space for long term stays in that you have access to all the closet space, etc. The natural light in the house is AMAZING. My dog really enjoyed the back yard, and the neighborhood was super friendly. My only comment - in order to access a bathroom or bedroom, you must take the stairs. This was no problem for me, but something to consider for those who have trouble with walking, etc.

Burst pipe. Terrible experience.

In the middle of our stay, a pipe burst on the bottom floor spewing some nasty smelling water everywhere. The host, Andrea with TriangleBnB, offered us another one of their properties to stay in. Unfortunately, the new property was a big step down: much smaller, no parking on site, in a worse neighborhood across the street from an abandoned building surrounded by barb wire.The pipe incident, the mid-trip move, and the worse property made this trip extremely tough on me, my wife, and our young son.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Douglass

Host profile image
I am a pharmacist at Duke Hospital who stumbled into the world of property management and real estate. It all began when I started renting out my personal properties as short-term rentals. I quickly fell in love with managing properties and interacting with guests, which led me to obtain my real estate license. As my passion for this field grew, I expanded my services to manage other people's properties as well. The business became so busy that I had to reduce my hours at Duke Hospital to dedicate more time to it. I am deeply passionate about traveling and exploring different properties and areas, which fuels my love for this profession even more. I am dedicated to providing exceptional service to both property owners and guests, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all involved.
