Fantastic Family Home Base

This property was fantastic as a home base for a longer stay in the Triangle. The location cannot be beat, it’s so quiet yet convenient to major roads. Everyone had a place to go, including the great deck off the kitchen. It was so well appointed and the photos of the place are so accurate to what you actually stay in!!

Beautiful and Clean! Great Place to Stay with Family and Friends!

Wow, if you're thinking about staying here, just do it! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out as well as great gathering places to hang out together! This house was beautiful and clean. The check in and out process was easy and the location was very convenient to several different places and activities that we had going on over the weekend. We look forward to staying here again!

Such a Lovely Home!

This home is beautiful! There are so many nice touches that add to the coziness. Each member of our family and a couple of drop-by guests were so impressed with the quality and classiness of the home. The outdoor space was equally enjoyable. Thank you for caring enough about your future patrons to offer such a lovely stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kristin O'Day Cleveland

Host profile image
My husband and I went to NC State University and stayed in Raleigh after graduating. We have teamed up with two other neighborhood couples that love Raleigh and NCSU as much as we do! We all enjoy the diversity of Raleigh and the many opportunities it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

All three couples have lived in this neighborhood for 10+ years. It is a well-established neighborhood that is quiet, walkable, and off the beaten path while still being in the very heart of Raleigh.

What makes this property unique

Our beautiful home is nestled on an acre of land. It is rare to find a property in Raleigh that not only is conveniently located but also has a large yard to enjoy, allowing for privacy and relaxation.
