Baby shower weekend.

The property itself is beautiful and the home has a lot to offer. Contact with the property manager at first was a little bit lax but dramatically improved as we progressed.However, the cleanliness, overall was below par. Specifically, the stove was never cleaned, the counters had a film on them. the dining room table was filthy. Dishes were left in the drying rack on the counter.

Wonderful house but was dirty.

Spider webs all over house. Porch and outside of windows and inside in some areas. Chairs were broken for two of the dining areas. So not enough chairs for us. Low water pressure and little hot water for showers. Such a nice house but needs some upkeep

Amazing home!!!

First of all, this home is gorgeous! Absolutely stunning. We loved everything about this house, from the layout to the decor. Was very roomy, and accommodated very nicely our group of bridesmaids. Kitchen was furnished with everything you could think of. We really loved sitting on the back patio with outdoor fireplace every night! Large screened in back porch was also a plus. I would definitely stay here again if the occasion to be in the area came up.

We were in town for a wedding. There were plenty of beautifully appointed bedrooms for our family to stay. The home is conveniently located near stores, restaurants etc, and yet is in a rural area that provides a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Was the perfect place for our trip!

The perfect setting & Location for my 60th Birthday!

Absolute splendor! This home wrapped its arms around my vision for my 60th birthday gathering with family and friends. From rising in the morning and having coffee on the Oversized screened in porch- watching the horses gallop and hearing nature sing to evening falling and filling this beautiful open floor plan home with laughter, joy, smiles and happiness..I could have not asked for more! The host were very attentive when I needed to contact them. The house was very clean and had everything you would need in the kitchen and pantry if you forget anything! I will DEFINATELY plan to gather here again!

Family Reunion in Raleigh Fall 2023

I live in South Raleigh and was planning for 10 family members to travel in for a reunion weekend in Sep 2023. I decided to find a large VRBO for them to stay together and make the time spent so much more personal and lovely for them while here (most for first time in NC). This house was so amazing and a PERFECT place for them to all come and stay together. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy eating, lounging, and just reconnecting. They loved the huge backyard area and outdoor fireplace, large screened porch, oversized kitchen, many large eating spaces and tables. And of course they enjoyed watching the horses in the back and the crew of chickens and rooster visiting the house each morning for a quick bug hunt. 5 Star Stay!

Luxury in the Country

This is probably the nicest VRBO home we have stayed in. It was clean, spacious and conveniently located. The soap and shampoo in all the bathrooms was a nice touch. The backyard patio was amazing, but the grills need some help. I would definitely stay here again.

What an awesome place! We had friends and family come together for a weekend. There was plenty of room. It is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous inside and out. It had EVERYTHING you could possibly need to entertain for a party.The grills needed some serious cleaning before we could use them. I would not hesitate to recommend this property. I would definitely return!!

CLEAN, PRETTY, ACCESSABLE

First family reunion in many years, so it was great to be with everybody and in a house that allowed plenty of warm spaces to gather and also to read or vegetate. The owners provided plenty of utensils, pots, pans and accessories. We loved the fireplace outdoors, and we barbequed, listened to nature in the morning and enjoyed watching the horses and roaming chickens. Just an absolute delight. The owners provided hotel-sized soaps, shampoos and body wash if you forget yours, which was a thoughtful consideration! Make sure you bring the larger (8-12 cup) basket coffee filters and your own coffee or K cups as there were both types of coffee pots. The house was clean and the bedding smelled fresh. Would stay there again.

Awesome time with Family

Our family was in for our nieces wedding and this house was perfect for us. Lots of space throughout the entire house. Large kitchen area and back porch and back patio area is awesome. We sat out every night by the large outdoor fireplace and laughed a lot. Enjoyed the horses in the property behind us and every morning we had some special visitors in the front yard, some large chickens and a rooster. Our grand kids loved this. House was well stocked in the kitchen and beds for the most part are comfortable. Location was great and close to down town Apex which is a cool place to go eat or shop. Totally enjoyed our experience and would recommend renting this place to anyone and if we are back in this area with a large group we will rent again.

Well laid out house for large groups

The house was very roomy with many areas for people to "do their own thing". The backyard porch and huge patio space were very nice. That said, the screen porch needs cleaning the heavy cob webs all over it. The grills were all very dirty and they looked like they needed some work. We chose to just not use them, but that was disappointing. The washer had a rug in it that was still wet from previous rental and the rubberized backing was crumbled over the inside of the washer. There were no washrags in bathrooms or kitchen towels. There was hand sanitizer, but that doesn't clean BBQ sauce off your hangs well. This is a really nice rental, it just needs some TLC.
