ââââRead what our guests are saying:
This was the most immaculate, well equipped and supplied place we have ever rented. The communication with the host was far above superior. It was very obvious that she and her husband truly cared about their guests. The setting is gorgeous, with a screened porch that overlooks a wooded areaâŚmaking you feel as if youâre in a secluded cabin in the mountains. We were here on business and hope to return to one of their properties one day. If I could give 10 stars...this would be the one! Thank you for all you did to make our stay very enjoyable! - Sherry
"This was without a doubt the best property I have ever stayed. I am pretty critical and ultra observant but always try to have grace and understanding. None was needed for this property. EVERYTHING was perfect. The furniture, the decor, the deep-down cleanliness, the outdoor patio area and deck, the location; I cannot list everything. Even every light switch was labeled to make life so easy! There was not one single thing I could say we had issue with. The HOME (not house) was exceptionally cared for and well maintained. The coffee bar and snacks were sweet, but it was so much more. May I just say how outstanding the communication was from early on booking and throughout our stay. Early check-in was even offered although that could be because we came maybe a little early in the season. I can see that this property would be fully booked and very busy in full season if not year long. This was a perfect location. I would prefer staying here and driving into Raleigh rather than staying in the heart of Raleigh. This was in a nice neighborhood (something you donât really know when booking) and quiet. I could go on and on raving about this property and our stay. I can only hope this home will be available the next time I travel to the area. Choose this one with no hesitancy." -Janet

Most comfortable beds and pillows on our whole trip! This place was immaculate, and Debra was a very gracious hostess. You won't go wrong with this rental.
This was our second stay at this awesome home. Very welcoming and a great location. The Host, Debra is an amazing real estate agent. She helped us find our new home in the area.

Thank you so much!! And Iâm so excited that you get to call this area your new home soon! Iâm so glad you trusted me in helping find your new home :)
Whispering Pines is a cozy, clean, and well decorated home in a convenient location. We really enjoyed the amenities, including the fenced yard for our puppy, heated toilet seats, and beds with adjustable base. We highly recommend staying here!
We love wake forest and we loved everything about whispering woods. The host Deborah was great to work with the entire property was our favorite in Raleigh. Our son lives inLouisburg only 15 minutes away from whispering woods. We have stayed in several different homes two or three times a year in North Carolina. We come when our grandson have spring break and week before school starts. we always stay 6 to 7 nights at a time. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We will always choose whispering Woods when coming to North Carolina if available.Likes check inâs , cleanness , LocationIn the cool bathroomsThanks Tony G stayed 6 nights

Thank you for this sweet review! Iâm so glad you will choose coming back here. Reach out ahead of time in case this one is booked, we have 4 others within 2 miles and one in Raleigh.
Love the property! The neighborhood is nice and we felt comfortable there. Loved the location near shops and downtown. The snow during our stay was an added surprise!!
The owner was fantastic to work with. My kids loved having their own beds with a tv in their room. She left games for them which was fun. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is very cozy!
Our stay was excellent. Debra, our host was amazing to work with. Great communication. The property was in excellent condition, they thought of every detail to make our stay exceptional. Loved the heated toilet seats. The house was conveniently located and the guest book had some much information about loxal restaurants, attractions etc. Highly recommend!!

Thank you for this review! Heated toilet seats are my favorite thing in life đ
Comeback to visit :)
We were in town for a family wedding. This property was perfect for three couples. Very clean and well stocked with coffee and some other basics. Well located near Wake Forest historic district. Would stay here again if we ever return to the area.
Great house! The setting was wonderful and the screened in porch was so peaceful. Nice place to have coffee in the morning! The house was very clean! The host was very responsive and helpful when at the last minute, we had to bring our dog with us.
We went to Wake Forest for the memorial service for a family member. I picked this place because it was close to the places we needed to go. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was, one of the nicest VRBOâs that we have rented. It was very clean and in a very nice neighborhood!
This property was A. Extra touches not expected, welcome basket, coffee station, charging station for many and varied devices. Really made for a homey, welcoming atmosphere away from home.
Nice home, very clean and well maintained. Excellent pet friendly neighborhood. Debra our host responded to any needs immediately. She went above and beyond making our stay a memorable one, This property is in a great location with everything you need just a few minutes away. Wake Forest is a great community. We highly recommend.
The house was perfect for our family. Everyone had their own space when needed and the layout was very convenient. The house was clean and well organized. Our children appreciated the fruit snacks, chips, and water bottles generously provided. We will definitely be returning for another visit!!
Cute place with 3 good sized bedrooms. LOVED the heated toilet seats. Didn't know I needed one of those in my life! Appliances are new and work well. Close to everything in Wake Forest. My friend and I enjoyed our stay.
Very clean, attractively decorated rooms. Had Everything you could need, even dog bowls for my dog! (I FORGOT MINE). CLOSE TO EVERYTHING! Joiner Park is almost across the streets, and has amazing walking trails and views. Harris Teeter close by with a Starbucks! The House had a beautiful back yard that was very private! The Host is very nice, and easy to work with. I am looking forward to returning in the near future!
This was the most immaculate, well equipped and supplied place we have ever rented. The communication with the host was far above superior. It was very obvious that she and her husband truly cared about their guests. The setting is gorgeous, with a screened porch that overlooks a wooded areaâŚmaking you feel as if youâre in a secluded cabin in the mountains.

About the host
Hosted by Debra
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 enjoy choosing properties in safe, family-friendly neighborhoods that are conveniently located near shopping, dining, and local attractions.
What makes this property unique
*All King Beds * Adjustable Bed Frames * Heated Toilet Seats
