Apartment in Raleigh
4.69 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviewsLovely two bedroom apartment, close to downtown.
WenboRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I give it 5 star, it not mean it’s good. there’s no hot water for the shower. I tried many times, but it just wouldn’t get hot. The other faucets have hot water, but not the shower, which is really strange. So, I haven’t showered for five days—it’s miserable. There are two rooms. The one near the door is nice and quiet. The inner room, however, is very noisy—every time the air conditioning turns on, it makes a loud noise. Plus, there’s no blanket in this room. I eventually found one in the cabinet, but it’s thin—not really a proper comforter. Pretty rough experience.

SydneyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Christine’s home was perfect for my family to stay in for a whole week while attending multiple college graduations in the triangle. The home was beautiful, clean, and the lake view was so peaceful. The kitchen was stocked with spices and condiments, there was plenty of plates/silverware, and working with Christine was seamless. We were all “wow’ed” by this stay!

KathleenRating, 5 stars1 day ago
The home was well equipped, superbly decorated and the attention to detail in the finishes and decor was phenomenal. The furniture and bedding was top quality as well. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space including the covered deck, spacious yard, hot tub and gorgeous pond views. The Sonos sound system was an added bonus.

JulieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Fabulous home in a gorgeous neighborhood and location. I did not want to depart when it was time to head home! The townhome was beautifully appointed with nice furniture, fixtures, decor and appliances. Each of the 2 1/2 baths was extremely clean with plush towels and quality shampoo, conditioner and soaps. The linens were sparkling white and beds super comfortable. The townhouse provides easy access to the Neuse River Trail - fantastic for biking and walking - through gorgeous tree-lined neighborhoods. The front door opens to spectacular trees filled with birds singing and even a few deer came by. Jocelyn, the host, was kind, helpful and extremely responsive - providing easy, prompt access and responding to messages. I highly recommend a stay at Jocelyn's townhome if you seek a beautiful home with access to the Wake Forest/Raleigh area.

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsLuxury home on Lake Wheeler
KatieRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Our stay at this lake house was absolutely wonderful! The layout of the house is fantastic, providing plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind. It's impeccably clean and well stocked with everything we needed, especially the beautiful kitchen which was a joy to cook in. The master bedroom and in-law suite were both luxurious and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The outdoor space is where this place truly shines. The pool was amazing, perfect for cooling off on hot days, and the expansive outdoor area provided plenty of room for our family to play games and enjoy the sunshine. While you can’t swim in the lake, fishing and boating are great alternatives. Clare was a fantastic host—so responsive and accommodating. Overall, our family had an incredible time here and didn't want to leave! It's the perfect spot for families looking to relax and have fun together.

Furr Manor was a spacious place in rural safe area. The house in on acreage so there's plenty of space to take a nice peaceful walk out in the countryside. Travel was convenient to drive to our ballfields. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again next time.

MonicaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Pamela's place in Cary was the perfect setting for our entire family of 10 (adults) to sleep, eat and play as we gathered to celebrate our son's graduation from Duke. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor spaces. The spacious main floor allowed some people to watch tv in one room while others visited in another while others could eat in the kitchen and dining room. The beds were comfortable. Pamela responded quickly to our questions. We loved the roomy patio where we had our morning coffee with a view of the lake and lots of birds. The hot tub was amazing! The kayak and canoe were a bonus and a few of us went out onto the lake. It is in a lovely neighborhood and close to Chick-Fil-A and Lucky 32 and Harris Teeter and about 35 minutes to Duke University. We would definitely recommend Pamela's place!
