Amazing home and outdoor space!

The homes are both beautiful inside. They are comfortable and cozy. We had every room full and were very comfortable. We loved the outdoor space and spent many hours playing cornhole. It was very convenient to be able to walk to campus.

Perfect home-away-from-home base from which to explore NC State

We LOVED our stay at Wolfpack Cottage! My husband and I brought our 3 kids, ages 12, 14 and 17, to Raleigh so we could visit North Carolina State University as our oldest is a junior in the early stages of his college search, and we think NC State could be a great option for him. This property was the ideal location from which to explore campus and the surrounding area. The home was beautifully decorated, well equipped and very comfortable. It was surprisingly quiet given its proximity to campus. Communication with our hosts was fantastic. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to do so again ourselves.

We came for a weekend with family including kids ranging from 6-18 and were beyond impressed with the cottage. The outdoor space was fantastic and the kitchen was well stocked. Sheets and towels were soft and comfortable. The host was easy to communicate with before and after arrival. We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend,

5 Stars Family Time

We had a great stay at the Wolfpack cottage. It is in a great location near NC state, Village District, grocery stores, etc. It is like a duplex and we rented both sides for our family. Everything was very nice, from the kitchen being well stocked with cooking utensils to the bedding for chilly nights. We really enjoyed the fire pit area. We wish we would have found it 4 years ago when we started spending Thanksgiving up in Raleigh!

Visit to NCSU

What a wonderful 3 night stay. The cottages were immaculate and cozy. Well equipped kitchens, comfortable furniture and beds. Walking distance to the University Campus and not far from various shops and dining options. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend, and would stay again if I ever visit the university again. peaceful.

Wolfpack Stay

Overall this was a great place to stay. Very very clean and we loved the two separate spaces. We did think that comfortably only 11 people should stay in the space. We did have a kid that ended up sleeping on the couch due to space. The host was very easy to communicate with and it was a great location. I would definitely recommend renting this space!

Awesome place, great location!

What a great stay! This place was perfect for our group and gave us room to spread out and have a bit of healthy separation. Beata's an amazing host. She provided everything we needed to cook meals, and it truly felt like home for a few days! We especially loved how close this house was to campus and the village district. So much to do! Thanks again Beata!!

Perfect family stay

Not only are the decorations so incredible in representing the NC State and Raleigh area, the two separate houses are great for families that want to come together, but appreciate their own space. One thing I missed in the preparation for my trip was that you need to bring your own wood for the fire pit. Other than that, the houses had absolutely everything that we needed. This rental is all about location, location, location. A few blocks from the grocery store, Cameron Village, and NC State, this location allows you to be within walking distance of all the things you need while in Raleigh.

A Raleigh Gem

The property is immaculate and very well thought out. The little touches that the host provides were wonderful! It’s the perfect location for celebrating Graduation with family or just a weekend away. The furniture and bedding are very comfortable The rainfall showers were lovely. Located very close to many shops, restaurants and NCSU. Off street parking was perfect. The host is very responsive and goes above and beyond. If you are in Raleigh don’t hesitate to stay!

Moving my son into NC State for his freshman year was stressful enough…knowing we were staying at Wolfpack Cottage again was 1 less thing to worry about. We love this residence!! Always clean and comfortable and cannot beat the convenience to campus. Got to cook 1 last home meal for my son (and family) and the kitchen had everything I needed! We will continue to stay here when we visit my son over the next 4 years. Beata could not be more pleasant and helpful as an owner. 👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely Amazing!!!

The house was absolutely perfect!!! We were here for our son to play at USA baseball so we had both sets of grandparents with us. They stayed on one side of the duplex and our family stayed on the other. It was the perfect amount of privacy for each family. The amenities in the house were beyond our expectations. From the amazing showers to the beautiful kitchen that was so well stocked, it was perfect. We loved the TV’s and the fans in each room as well as the comfortable beds. Not one thing to complain about!!!!

Great experience all around

We had a fun 2 nights here - it really felt like home away from home. We walked over to the village district area for dinner which was nice. All the kitchen and bathroom stuff was new which came in handy for breakfast in the room. They must have top notch cleaning staff, even my OCD spouse was impressed. Overall communication was fantastic. We were able to take advantage of both units, adult kids in one and parents in the other which was a great option. Will stay here again this spring!
