Spacious and well-appointed!

We had a great time here, it was a nice quiet location and the hosts were quick to respond when we had questions. Everything was in great shape and very roomy. We cooked for meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Love the personality and attention to detail, like the football table (big hit with my 7 year old and 78 year old father alike) and cozy lighting from the lamps.

Family Raleigh Trip

Me, my husband and kids (11,8,5) stayed at Dogwood cottage for 5 nights while my husband worked in the area. The home was clean, inviting, and a great location to many local attractions we were able to visit. We loved the charming neighborhood surrounded by beautiful green trees. Two bedrooms were upstairs and one was downstairs that were clean with plenty of space. As well as one bathroom upstairs and one downstairs.A few downsides: The kitchen was sparse which made it more difficult to cook for a family. No mixing bowls, bowls to put a salad or prepped food in, etc. The only TV downstairs was in the "game room" so while kids were hanging and playing the cool foosball table - there was no where for the grownups to relax and watch tv at the end of the day. A TV in the front family room would be a good addition. The property manager was friendly and was able to get us a few necessities for our stay in a quick timely fashion. THANKS FOR HAVING US AT DOGWOOD

Mother’s Day stay

Interior was clean and well appointed. We appreciated being able to do a load of laundry. The coffee/tea station was a nice touch. Location was very convenient to local shopping and PNC Stadium.
