Fabulous Property

This fabulous house is in a beautiful, centrally located historic neighborhood. The host has not missed a thing. It is one of the best appointed houses we have rented with every amenity one could want. The check-in and check-out were super simple and all the little instruction cards around the house make settling in seamless.We highly recommend this place for your next stay in Raleigh.

10/10 recommend!

My family of four + our yellow lab were displaced from our house for a couple weeks but I am so thankful for the opportunity to call the house “home” for that time. I have been raving about how wonderful our stay was at the Forest Park House to anyone who will listen. We are local to Raleigh and familiar with the neighborhood so had reasonably high expectations (off street parking, etc.). It was so much more than we expected. Even before we arrived, the host was attentive and proactive with suggestions that could make our stay as comfortable as possible, and that continued throughout our stay. The house is so well appointed that it is like being a guest at a luxury hotel with the comforts of a private home. It is truly difficult to write a review that is good enough to describe our experience.

Historic Gem

Forest Park House was nothing short of spectacular for our two separate visits to Raleigh this summer. We loved it so much the first time - we knew exactly where we wanted to stay for our mid-summer return. The house location and amenities are premier! There is absolutely nothing that host Cam has not thought of for his guests. He is extremely quick to respond to any inquiries. We truly feel fortunate to have spent time in this wonderful historic home. It’s a true gem!

Location. Location. Location. And Decor.

What a great experience. Easy access. Great location. A short walk to the Village District. And an even shorter drive to great downtown spots. Cam was an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed. Check in and check out were a hands-off breeze. The house is immaculate and so well appointed. Modern victorian I'll call it. Lavish yet comfortable. We would absolutely stay again.

The most immaculate home we’ve stayed in

This beautifully redone historic home was such a pleasure to stay in. From the decor, bedding and well supplied home there is everything you’d need in a home away from home for a family. My five year old was very comfortable here as well as our adult son. Within distance of many restaurants and a beautiful park. The home was tastefully decorated for Christmas which I felt was so special to have in a home. Cam was so accommodating and hospitable throughout the whole process which I am so thankful for. This is beyond a 5 star and we look forward to planning our next trip with him!

It was perfect! the house is beautiful! We were in town to see my daughter who attends NC State, and it was a great location and very centrally located to North Campus. Parking was great because I know that city parking in Raleigh is very hard to navigate. And the property manager, Cam, was very responsive and went out of his way to make us feel welcome!

Cam’s property was absolutely perfect. Everything as described and more. The light switches are labeled throughout the house which is such a great touch! Every question we had was answered with informative notes throughout the house. It was a beautiful home designed with comfort. Our furry friends absolutely loved it and the fenced in dog run and yard. Cam was excellent on communication and never left us waiting! We will definitely be staying here the next time we come to Raleigh! GO PACK!!

5 star property and host!

The house was beautiful! Just like the pictures. Cam was wonderful to work with! We arrived late and the lights in the house were on for us and Cam had handwritten us a note and left croissants and jam for breakfast! They were delicious. The area is so pretty and the house had so many little areas to relax and enjoy. I especially loved the screened in porch. It was so cute. Those with EVs will appreciate that there is an outlet in the carport. We charged up our car every night and it was ready for the next day. It was very convenient and there was no extra fee for using it! Very much appreciated! Can’t say enough about the place. Would definitely stay here again. Well done!

Best VRBO Ever!

We had the most amazing weekend at Forest Park house. Everything was perfect. The house is impeccably maintained and cleaned! The owner was so nice to supply us with fantastic coffee and snacks. It is centrally located for anything you want to do in downtown Raleigh. We were in town for a family wedding and were within a mile of everything to do in Raleigh and close to the country club where the reception was being held. We can’t thank Cam enough for being an unbelievable host. I have stayed in many VRBO’s and this is by far the best one ever!!!

Love this house!

They did SUCH a great job with this house. It’s so well decorated and READY for guests - you’ll see what I mean when you stay. Everything is labeled with directions and it truly seems like they thought of everything. Only issue we had was the power went out and with young kids we were nervous about it getting too cold and their milk/food spoiling. Apparently this is an issue in this area bc we heard the neighbors generator turn on immediately. Unfortunately, the generator for this house was being installed on the Monday after we left, so we didn’t have that luxury, but future renters will have backup. :) We “survived” the power outage just fine as it was restored within a couple hours. The kitchen is a bit smaller than it looks in photos. just a heads up that it could get a little tight in there, especially for bigger people. Also, the 3rd bedroom is really a loft in the upstairs office and there’s a metal spiral staircase going up. We thought this would be where my 5yo would sleep until we saw the spiral staircase. That made us nervous if he got scared or woke up in the middle of the night. Luckily, there was an air mattress with all the necessary linens that he could use instead. The loft might be ideal for kids, but probably better for older kids (middle school to college-aged, IMO). The ceiling is slanted and I don’t know if you could stand straight up there to be honest. All in all, it was a great place to stay. We felt comfortable in the home, it was a great location, and we’d definitely stay here again.
