The host never responded and never received an access code. Never able to stay here. Place looked run down. Had to get last minute refund and find last minute accommodations.
This house was perfect for our kids! They were so sad to leave they cried. They had decorations put up our of reach of little hands and plenty of fun toys and the outdoor play structure that was a blast. If your looking for a home your comfortable in with your children, this is the place to book!
Lack of communication with host. Stood out in the freezing cold for 45 minutes waiting for the check- in info.

House was just as posted in pics! Kids loved it, we couldnt take them away from the playing areas.
Lexi, our host, was really supportive as well, we arrived a couple of hours earlier than our check-in time and helped us out, even waiving the fee.
If you want a place to connect with nature, this is the place!

Not good communication, had request code to get in 3x. Late Ended up chec
Postives...The house was perfect for our double family to stay for a funeral from florida. Kids really enjoyed the kids space. Negatives....not the cleanest. Found several extremely dirty dishes. Kids play area was a disaster. Not enough coffee cups. We had 5 adults and only 3 cups. The towels were really lacking too. The one bedroom light needed to be replaced. Kept flickering. The one rooms needs blinds and curtain for privacy. Could not get any of the tvs to play besides the projector.

The house was nice but needed attention. The blinds were broken in the downstairs bedrooms and the washer made an awful noise. Hopefully the owners can look into the issues.
We stayed here with some of our dance friends for a competition at Fuquay High School. The neighborhood is charming and kid friendly. It’s a great location to town but yet feels so secluded. The host communication was great and she was able to suggest a fun afternoon activity after a morning of dancing. We appreciate you sharing your home with us!
Very cozy house in a quiet neighborhood. Close to anything you’d need. Renters are very communicative and professional! It felt like a fantastic blend of a cozy home to stay, and a hotel experience!

Cute little cottage
Enough space and fun things for kids. Would stay again
Place was perfect for us. We pretty much just slept there and had breakfast as Family Thanksgiving get together is held in Apex so most meals, turkey trot, pickleball tourney and games are held there.
We would definitely stay at this property again. It had plenty of beds and sleeping options for our family. My kids enjoyed playing with the toys and on the swing set outside. The house was very clean!
We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of space for everyone to sleep. The outside looks like it is small, but dont let that deceive you. Nice backyard for the kids to play as well. We were only there for a couple of days, but worth it.
The home was clean and as described. No issues except that bath towels located in the top of the closet in the master bath were damp. Very easy check in and check out. Plenty of room for entire party.
We all had a great time, the kids enjoyed the play area, there was a little mud by play area outside and a tree hanging over fence, and the tv in the master bedroom didn't work, but over all we enjoyed ourselves there
We enjoyed our stay at this house. We arrived waaay to early and the owners allowed us to check in early. They usually have an early check-in fee and they were gracious enough to waive the fee. The location was great. This is a house that is great for families with young children. Very accommodating.
The location was perfect for family wedding. 4 miles from venue. I agree with other reviewers, it could use some tlc, freshen up, but it worked out for our trip. We had a couple of issues, the host was quick to respond. Lots of parking. Lots of space.
