We loved the hot tub and peaceful backyard. Sat out there every morning and night. Kitchen island is an amazing size and made prepping food easy. Bedrooms were comfortable. Would recommend guests to bring or buy a mosquito repellent as summers in NC breed a lot of mosquitoes; once we had that we had no issues with the mosquitoes. Firepit is a great addition, unfortunately we weren’t able to use as the firewood was too wet from the rain the week before but not a big deal as we were plenty occupied with the hot tub and sitting peacefully outside. Couch and living spaces were comfortable and loved the addition of the half bath on the first floor as an extra restroom as needed. Washer and dryer on site was used everyday sometimes several times a day so was perfect to have access to. Dawn is super attentive and easily reached for any needs! Dawn even helped return an Amazon order accidentally sent to the house after our stay and was so gracious about it! Would highly recommend to stay here if you are looking for a nice relaxing stay in NC but don’t want to stay in downtown Raleigh and want to have quick access to the NC Triangle, parks, and stores.
