We enjoyed a lovely week in this quiet and peaceful neighborhood so close to the fun historic district of Wendell. The house was clean and tidy and offered everything we needed for our week away from home.

Great Sisters getaway
We had a great time hanging out, playing cards & exploring the small town. The house was decent; showed some wear & tear, but was comfortable.

Will book again!!
Absolutely amazing stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in seamless. The location was perfect, quiet and relaxing. We’ll definitely be back!
We were in town for a wedding. We were very happy with the house. It’s well taken care of and is comfortable with plenty of space to hang out watching TV or playing games. It was exactly what we were looking for.
We had a great experience staying in this home. My son is a college athlete in the area, and we'll plan to have more stays at this location during his college career.

The home met our needs...
The home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood out of the way from any traffic. The home was very clean and more than enough to fit our needs for our stay. We enjoyed our stay here.
We had a lovely visit and our stay was very nice.the house was perfect.Very comfortable ,well appointed.The location was peaceful and quite yet accessible to all the local amenities. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.
Pretty home in a very nice neighborhood. The house was clean, for the most part, but some maintenance is needed (doors falling in laundry closet, couch needs cleaning). Coffee, sugar, creamer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash all provided. Kitchen was spacious and provided enough cookware. No laundry supplies available, but w/d were available and clean. I would just suggest maybe a coffee table or end table in the living room (we had no place to set stuff down) and hand towels in the bathrooms. We're personally not fans of having to use paper towels in lieu of actual hand towels.

Beautiful house! Very, very clean and comfortable. Nice quiet location. Close to stores and food delivery. I've stayed in 3 other houses in the area this past year and truly loved this one! Not only is it a great house, it's close to my sister as I was there for my dad's funeral. Easy check in and check out. Can't wait to travel back down from NY and stay in the house again.. Food delivery options were great. I'd absolutely recommend this house and look forward to staying there the next time I'm in town.

Sunshine!!!!
The home was amazing! The host we’re available at my disposal. Easy check in and check out. Clean, quiet, and comfortable! 10/10 I would recommend and definitely stay there again!!!! Thank you all for being amazing host!!!
We enjoyed our stay in this charming house located in a quiet neighborhood in a cul de sac.The house didn't disappoint because it was clean, modern, and had all the listed amenities. My family needed a house that was close to Raleigh and surrounding suburbs. An added bonus was it was pet friendly and my dog appreciated the fenced yard. Our host, Mrs James, was available to answer any questions. I highly recommend this home and would come here again.
This was an amazing home. Everything that was described in the listing was accurate, The pictures really don't do it any justice compared to when you see it in person. Very quiet and easy to access. I also appreciate how quickly the host responded. 10/10 will book again!!
Nice house, comfortable beds, nice living space. It was nice to have a fenced in back yard. A little disappointing on the small things: The master bath shower was never more than luke-warm at best. I like hot showers. The kitchen is lacking some necessities like a cutting board, steak knives, a decent cutting knife, utensils that rusty, extra kitchen towels, etc. The fish tank was a bit disturbing. The tank looked like it needed cleaned, there was a layer of scum on the top, and it looks like the air hose wasn't working.

From the Owner: "I just came across your review and was surprised by some of the comments, as they don’t seem to reflect the efforts made during your stay.I personally came to the house and adjusted the hot water to meet your preference, and I also responded to your request regarding missing items; those were already in the drawers and dishwasher, which I showed you at the time. I made two separate visits and addressed every concern you raised, and throughout your stay, you expressed that you were pleased with how things were handled.That’s why I was disappointed to see a negative review that included comments that don’t accurately reflect the experience we worked hard to provide. I always welcome honest feedback and would have appreciated the opportunity to resolve any remaining concerns directly.Wishing you all the best."
I have taken a ton of pictures of the urine still on bathroom walls and dirt that hasn’t been wiped off of doors and walls. Clumps of black hair in nice white towels, eww! Not sure what housekeeper is doing just not cleaning. In the master bathroom you can see where the roof leaks and in one spot you can tell where the water is sitting. Investors need to invest or at least inform folks they really don’t care about this house!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Mixed bag
Pros: neighborhood, walkability to downtown, ease of checkin/checkout
Cons: the entire home smelled of detergent/air fresheners, mattresses were encased in a heavy-duty and loud plastic protectors, the home is in need of updating/refreshing as things are old and in disrepair (furniture, door latch, appliances, carpet, etc)
Nothing was bad enough to report to the home manager during our stay (but I’d be happy to submit a list of items if the homeowner would like to reach out to me) —but we won’t be staying again when we return to Wendell.

We enjoyed staying in this house. It was as advertised.
The pots, pans and some glasses were dirty and my husband had to clean what we used. We stay in many places and this is a common problem.
It was odd that there were no hand towels in the bathrooms or kitchen towels, only paper towels. We have never experienced this before.
I would suggest cleaning the vent on the wall behind the couch.
All the rooms were nicely decorated and spacious. The house had everything we needed, except hand towels. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch.
The area was nice and quiet on a cul de sac.
