I visited the Wake Forest area for a family wedding and booked the stay at this lovely bungalow. What a lovey home! Although only two of us stayed at the property, it was more than spacious for 6-8 people with plenty of room to spare. The emanates were as described; the hot tub was a great place to unwind after a long drive, the kitchen open and spacious, the sofas soft and comfy, and the beds, dreamy. During the check in process, I errored and did not Included that a furry friend was in tow and Jennifer was more than understanding of this mishap and let me pay the pet fee once we arrived. I would highly recommend staying her as often as you can when in North East NC.

Great communication from our host, which made our arrival, stay, and departure flawless. The home was lovely. Plenty of room for us spread out. The only disappointing thing was our stay was short and we did not get to enjoy the outdoor amenities - hot tub, fire pit, corn hole etc. I highly recommend this property and would stay again if we return to the area.

Great house. Plenty of space and has everything you need. Specific to us, our only issue was how loud the primary bed was. We had a baby sleeping in our room and every time we rolled over we’d wake each other and the baby up. So maybe a solid bed frame? Thank you! We look forward to next time!
