The house was gorgeous and spacious. But more important than that, the hosts were readily available to answer questions from the time of booking until we left and were super flexible. They reached out a few days in advance to make sure the beds/furniture would be arranged the way we needed before we arrived. An all-around great experience!

Amazing getaway!!

From the beginning of the booking process to walking out the door at the end of the week the property owner was very professional. The house was very warm and welcoming when you first walk in. It had more than enough room to accommodate our family of 8 and then family that came to visit as well. We have already talked about heading back next year.

Our 2nd time staying in this fabulous house! Our son attends NCState and we (and my sister’s family) come down for a long weekend to visit. The house is the perfect size for multiple guests! We stick the teenage kids in the basement, adult guests upstairs and ourselves in the master bedroom. We love the back porch to eat and play games and the kids like the fire pit. Great backyard. It helped that the weather was absolutely perfect. We’re just sad our son will be graduating and will no longer have an excuse to stay!

About the host

Hosted by linda phillips

Host profile image
My husband and I are two active older couple who love meeting people. We also like to travel and explore new places, always on the go either volunteering or just having an adventure. We care enough to make your stay very pleasant and make it a home to come to when away from home.

Why they chose this property

Although this house is located in an exciting mix of businesses,(ABC Corp office, SAS) restaurants, entertainments,(Koka Booth, Walnut Creek Amphitheatre, PNC Arena, State Fairground, research (RTP), education, (NCSU, Campbell University, Meredith College), Downtown Raleigh, and Nightlife, we are next to horse farms.

What makes this property unique

This house is in a secluded area surrounded by trees quiet and peaceful. The deck is mostly enjoyed to relax and picnic with family and friends. You can walk to the equestrian (.4 miles) for your daily walks with no fear of busy traffic. The only vehicles coming and going are residents of the area.
