Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
“We've stayed in a lot of AirBnB's and this is one of the best. Great location in a cute town with lots to do within a walkable distance, and much more to do within a short drive. The home is just so cute, with all the amenities you really need without a lot of clutter. The beds and linens are soft and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed for making meals or just grabbing a quick coffee. Debra is very helpful with pointing out local spots of interest, and she posted a very helpful quick sheet on the fridge about things like trash/recycling, check out procedures and nearby emergency services. I feel like I'm visiting a friend who cares about my stay. The sweet note thanking us for being repeat clients along with the little basket of snacks was really over the top. Def a gem and we hope to visit again soon.” - Darlene
“This Airbnb is adorable, clean, spacious, exactly as pictured! The location is great - in a quiet neighborhood, and walkable to everything downtown, including the conference that we attended at the Seminary. Debra is a wonderful host, responds quickly to every question and need! So much better than a hotel, & we didn't have to rent a car!!” - Michael
“Debra’s property is fantastic!! The location is great and within walking distance to the quaint Wake Forest downtown. She has made sure everything is super functional, and it’s spotless. My husband commented that it’s the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at. Highly recommend!!.” - Teresa

“Thank you for your review! I’m glad to hear you loved the cleanliness and the location. If there’s ever anything we can do to make your stay a full five-star experience, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Thank you for a nice clean quiet stay! Our pup loved the fenced back yard and we loved all the little extras you provided in the home. Thanks for allowing us in your home.
Such a great hide in a great location. The bed was so comfy. I loved the massage feature. And the heated toilets were appreciated considering it was unusually really cold
Perfect property for our visit to Wake Forest to attend a family wedding. Very clean, bright and sunny! Loved that we could bring our dogs. Our Aussie had plenty of room to zoom around and play in the beautiful backyard. Bedrooms and baths were very nicely appointed as was the kitchen. The living room was a great place to relax on the comfy couches to chat or read. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout the home - i.e. a welcome basket for the pups and one for the humans. Everything needed was provided. We will definitely return to this very lovely property.

Thank you! I’m so glad you (and fur baby) enjoyed your stay. We can’t wait to have you back. We have other rentals in the area if this one is booked.
Debra's house was in a lovely community with plenty of places to walk. It was clean and had everything we needed. And the deck was a wonderful bonus!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. We always strive for a 5-star experience, so if there’s anything we could have done to make your stay even better, we’d love to hear your feedback. Hope to welcome you back again soon!
Enjoyed my stay and the convenient location! The house was tidy, well-maintained, and well-stocked. I would stay here again and recommend to friends or family.
Beautiful, clean home! Large fenced backyard was perfect for our pup. Close to restaurants and shopping. Would most definitely return if we’re in the area again!
This was a perfect spot for our week stay while closing on a new home in the area. Home is in a great, quiet, safe, neighborhood. Immaculate inside, and pictures are accurate. Kitchen is fully supplied for whatever cooking needs may arise. Owner was wonderful to work with, very responsive. Keyless entry made check in/check out a breeze. Would definitely stay here again!
We could tell a lot of care went into making this a super welcoming and clean place, It felt so fresh and new. This Wake Forest neighborhood is very well kept and is great for walking.
Stopped to see the area for a short time and found this nice property in a great neighborhood. The house was the perfect size for the 3 of us and was close by to many things.
From the moment we walked in the door we were so impressed with the core and the cleanliness and thoughtfulness of every item available. Without a doubt the nicest place we've stayed in all of our travels!! we would highly recommend this VRBO
We were looking for a spot convenient to wake forest and Raleigh. This place checked all the boxes and then some. Parking was easy, everything we needed was easily accessible. Would stay again.
This was the perfect accommodation for our four-night stay. Well stocked, well appointed. Host was very helpful with suggestions (where to eat, what to do) and was available through check-in should we have needed assistance. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Thank you!
Great VRBO, good communications. Clean, bright, neat. Would stay again on a return visit.

About the host
Hosted by Debra
We moved to Wake Forest in 2010, right as we were starting to build our family (I was pregnant with my first). As soon as I had my daughter, I decided to leave the workforce and focus on taking care of my family and house. Through the years I have filled my time with volunteering throughout the community. I spent many years on the school's PTA, organized the social activities in my neighborhood, and taught Sunday School. In the past few years, I have really developed a love for real estate investing. In my spare time, I love reading/listening/learning all things real estate and financial literacy (my nerdy side can't help it!). I take pride in my houses and in treating my tenants well.
Why they chose this property
I love real estate and I love hosting, so putting the two together seemed natural. In the past, I have only been involved in long-term rentals and just ventured into the short-term rental world in the past few years. I love the need it fills when you have outgrown the small space of a hotel room with no kitchen. I love the personal connections you make and the personal touches you can add when hosting short stays.
What makes this property unique
This space is ideally located just a short walk from restaurants and shops. A digital guidebook will be sent after booking to expand more on the details of the house and surrounding area, complete with my recommendations of places to eat.
