About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Porch & Yard, Spacious & Cozy, Close to Downtown!

Welcome to our home, where you can enjoy all downtown Raleigh has to offer while having a comfortable, serene home base. You can experience the breweries, restaurants, and cafes that are a 5-minute drive away, or watch the sunset from our screened-in porch. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an open-concept kitchen & living room, there is plenty of room for your party to have their own space during their stay.

Our home has a modern feel with a spacious layout, cozy vibe, comfortable beds and couches, and a large fenced-in backyard. Comfortable sitting areas, cozy bedrooms, stocked kitchen, office desk setup, and outdoor space make this home a great landing pad for whatever brings you to Raleigh.

THE KITCHEN

We are stocked with everything you need to cook a cozy home-cooked meal. This includes plenty of pots & pans, strainers, waffle maker, measuring cups & spoons, baking sheets, and many other accessories. There is also a comprehensive set of spices that you're welcome to use.

In addition to cookware, all your coffee and tea needs are covered, including a coffee maker, moka pot, goose-neck kettle, and coffee bean grinder.

THE LIVING AREAS

The open living room and kitchen has a 50-inch TV connected to a Roku for you to log in to all your streaming channels. You'll also find some board games and puzzles in the center console.

THE BEDROOMS

The home has four wonderful bedrooms, each equipped with a queen bed (one room has two twin sized beds) & comfortable mattress and bedding. Two of the rooms have ROKU televisions.

THE OFFICE

One of the bedrooms is also set up to be a home office. This room has an L-shaped desk, comfortable chair, and the ability to cast to a Roku TV screen for you to be productive.

In addition to the great set-up, the home is also set up on Fiber Internet so you shouldn't have to worry about a slow or poor connection.

If you have multiple workers staying in the home, the kitchen table or island is also a good place to work. On a nice day, we love working from the screened-in porch!

THE BATHROOMS

All three bathrooms have been recently remodeled:
- The primary bathroom is attached to the primary bedroom, and includes a spacious rain shower.
- The upstairs full bathroom is equipped with a bathtub.
- The half bathroom downstairs is convenient for the den and office.

When you arrive you should expect 1 toilet paper roll and 1 refilled hand soap dispenser in each of the bathrooms. Please keep these bottles in the home when you leave. Towels are provided.

THE SCREENED PORCH/YARD

One of the great parts about living in the south is taking advantage of the warm temperatures and spending time outdoors. The porch has plenty of privacy as it is within our backyard fence. It is well-lit for twilight gatherings, and usually has stellar sunset views. It opens up to our backyard which is perfect for enjoying the outdoors or letting your pet outside. We have three garden beds, which will be dormant (unless you are very ambitious and have a green thumb, in which case let’s talk!)

GRILL

We have a propane grill available for your use! While there may occasionally be leftover propane from previous guests, we kindly ask that guests provide their own propane if needed.

LAUNDRY

There is a washer and dryer located on-site for your use. We have left behind plenty of detergent for you to use. If you use your own, please ensure it is labeled high-efficiency to ensure the longevity of our washer/dryer.

PETS
We know bringing your pets with you is an important part of feeling at home, so we are delighted to host your pets. We ask that you clean up waste left in the yard, or other messes in the home. We have a large backyard for them to explore, and have left a medium-sized dog crate for your convenience.

Please note: Due to reasons outside our control (insurance) we cannot accept the following breeds: Akita, Chow, Pit Bull aka Staffordshire Terrier, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Sharpei, and Wolf Hybrids.

ACCESSIBILITY
Entry to the home requires a walk up a short flight of stairs, or a long walk through the backyard. Additionally, entry to the bedroom levels and bathrooms requires a short walk up some steps. This home may not be the best fit for guests where this will be challenging.

It was perfect for our family, allowed pets (fenced yard), plenty of room for our group, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, very pretty, convenient location.I loved having a security system that we could use while away and at night/away.Guest info. notebook was great and easy to use.Communication with the owner was perfect. Best communication we have ever had!I would definitely stay here again. So much more relaxing than a hotel!
