This home was perfect for our family while in town for a wedding. Beautiful wooded lot. The home was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Some of us wished for more bed pillows. The only other item we missed was some scissors.

Fantastic Family Home Base

This property was fantastic as a home base for a longer stay in the Triangle. The location cannot be beat, it’s so quiet yet convenient to major roads. Everyone had a place to go, including the great deck off the kitchen. It was so well appointed and the photos of the place are so accurate to what you actually stay in!!

We enjoyed our stay very much and everything was exactly as described. The neighborhood was perfect, quiet and beautiful. The home allowed us to be together in many areas but also to gave us space when we wanted it. One of our favorite parts was that things in the house were labeled like light switches and remotes so there wasn’t any guessing. We would highly recommend staying here and would return on our next visit to Raleigh!

Beautiful and Clean! Great Place to Stay with Family and Friends!

Wow, if you're thinking about staying here, just do it! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out as well as great gathering places to hang out together! This house was beautiful and clean. The check in and out process was easy and the location was very convenient to several different places and activities that we had going on over the weekend. We look forward to staying here again!

Quiet. Comfortable. Clean. Good quality linens/towels. Friendly neighbors. Safe neighborhood. Convenient to driving downtown. Responsive owner. Tasteful decor and thoughtful layout. Felt like the home I wish I had! Saw a fox, several deer and a rabbit in the yard. Loved the parks in Raleigh. We hope to stay here again.

Such a Lovely Home!

This home is beautiful! There are so many nice touches that add to the coziness. Each member of our family and a couple of drop-by guests were so impressed with the quality and classiness of the home. The outdoor space was equally enjoyable. Thank you for caring enough about your future patrons to offer such a lovely stay!

Wonderful House in Quiet Raleigh Neighborhood

We booked this lovely house for a girls’ weekend reunion. Everything was so lovely and clean. The kitchen is well appointed with everything we needed. The bedrooms were cozy. The backyard is wooded and serene, with a great deck and outdoor spots to hang out. The host was so responsive and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! 10/10!!! Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home.

About the host

Hosted by Kristin O'Day Cleveland

Host profile image
My husband and I went to NC State University and stayed in Raleigh after graduating. We have teamed up with two other neighborhood couples that love Raleigh and NCSU as much as we do! We all enjoy the diversity of Raleigh and the many opportunities it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

All three couples have lived in this neighborhood for 10+ years. It is a well-established neighborhood that is quiet, walkable, and off the beaten path while still being in the very heart of Raleigh.

What makes this property unique

Our beautiful home is nestled on an acre of land. It is rare to find a property in Raleigh that not only is conveniently located but also has a large yard to enjoy, allowing for privacy and relaxation.
