First Communion Stay

property was fine for our needs over the weekend. Hedges were overgrown & caused pulling out or backing onto street difficult. Hard to see cars coming, but overall a nice location.

This home is well located near "Downtown Wake Forest" which is rather convenient. It is quite rustic and has a nice large kitchen with a private yard. TV Channel options were also great. Kate, the owner, is incredibly responsive and was able to address each and every question we had. Unfortunately, we made the mistake of not fully reading the details to know that it is only a 1.5 bathroom and not a full 2 bathrooms. That was completely our mistake and I do not fault the property, but guests should be aware.

The house was very clean and cozy. It was walking distance to the Wake Forest downtown area, but still quiet and not overly crowded. The host was very communicative and responsive. Thank you!

Lovely, private-feeling property despite there being other houses nearby. Very comfortable, beautifully decorated, charming older home, but with modern amenities. Plenty of off-road parking space and great spaces for relaxing outdoors. Definitely would stay here again if we’re visiting the area!

Delightful

The house has a nice balance of old charm and modern updates. Steep stairs to the second floor mark the house's age, but modern bathrooms and a dishwasher in the kitchen bring it into the 21st century. The yard was beautifully manicured, and the neighborhood was quiet. Tall hedges along the property boundary offered privacy but created a challenge in leaving the driveway to access the street. This house added to a delightful stay in Wake Forest.

Cozy and Comfortable Home

Our family attended SEBS December graduation and enjoyed staying in this lovely home. The home met all our needs for our family to enjoy time together while we celebrated our daughters graduation. The home owner had Christmas decorations to make our stay even more cozy for the season! We enjoyed the firepit as well on the cool evenings for continued visiting with hot chocolate and s'mores! I would definitely recommend to others staying in the area.

Cozy Home

This was a very nice older home that has been remolded. It was spacious overall for just the two of us, but the bathrooms were on the smaller side. The king bed was quite comfortable.
