Fantastic yard, a cool old house, a beautiful fire pit on the lake, and a great location. We had a wonderful stay there. No dining room table, so that was different, but we enjoyed eating in the living room, taking in the view and each other's company. I would stay again anytime!

Stay at the cabin

The listing is spot on with the real time depiction of the property. It’s in a tucked away corner of Raleigh. The property itself is beautiful, and the host Abby was receptive and reliable. We will definitely make this a yearly trip!

Great Property for Get Away!

For our conference, we opted to not stay at the host hotel and that was the best decision!! This property had everything we needed and the backyard and deck was able to accommodate visiting guests!! Grilling outside with lake view was awesome!! Very convenient to convention center.

This place was lovely! A perfect, peaceful short getaway. It’s a great find for the price and could sleep many more. It would be wonderful for a larger family gathering. It’s close to everything; downtown with plenty of restaurants and historic sites, near lots of trails and spots to enjoy nature. There were a few things that could be cleaner, including the fire pit. Everything else was nearly perfect. Overall, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Lakeside oasis with convenient access to town

We were thrilled with the location with access to the local area as well as the highway, while being in a serene and comfortable home. The home itself was also appropriately furnished for lake living, and we were pleasantly surprised by the carport! The owner was lovely, extremely responsive.

We loved our stay!!! We had three generations there and everyone was very happy! The furniture and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The neighborhood was quiet and the house was very private. The yard is fantastic and the lake is so pretty. We had fun by the fire pit each evening. Fantastic property! We will be back
