There is a beautiful wooden architectural desk (this was our Uncle Marvin's design desk), a table with 4 chairs, bonded leather sofa with recliners, love seat with recliner and rocking recliner.

Outside there is a simple fire pit for roasting marshmallows by the pond. You are welcome to go fishing as long you clip the barb from your hook and throw the fish back. (Catch and Release)

We enjoyed feeling like we were in the country! The trees around the property were pretty. The roosters across the pond were a fun fascination for our pup! Would stay here again!

What an AMAZING WOODEN SHOE TREASURE TO SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH FAMILY! This is an ideal place to have a family reunion. They even had a toy closet for the kids. The teens enjoyed the pond and roasting marshmallows on the fire pit.

Rustic and Cozy!
The feel of being in the mountains without the road trip. Located off of the main road but easily accessible to any of the places we wanted to go, shop and eat. The cabin itself was lovely! My grands were happy little campers and so excited with all of the fish that they caught in the pond. Struggled with the stove/oven but eventually got the hang of it. This was truly one of our best Thanksgiving's ever!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel and Susan McMains

Host profile image
Our names are Daniel and Susan McMains. We currently live in Apex, NC. We both grew up in the Apex - Raleigh areas. Our home property is close by The Wooden Shoe.

Why they chose this property

After living in this area most of our lives and raising our family. When this beautiful home became available we knew we could not pass it up. Our very close friends and their young children were relocated after purchasing this home. They blessed us with a once in a life time opportunity to purchase this beautiful cabin. We decided to furnish it (in the hopes of them moving back) and until that time share it with others. When we asked our friends son, Logan, what we should name the cabin he said 'The Wooden Shoe'. When he was asked why he chose that name he said 'because it just fits'. It is our hope that you our guest will just fit right in and enjoy your stay.

What makes this property unique

We will refer you to our gallery to show you why we think this is so unique.
(***We are not set up at this time as a wedding venue***)
This cabin makes a wonderful place for a family vacation, anniversary weekend, birthday weekend, small group retreats, business trips, or great alternative to a hotel stay. Also makes a simple place to just unwind and relax. So we hope you will enjoy your stay at The Wooden Shoe.
We are only able to do rentals 30 nights and less.
