Peaceful stay

The property is beautiful, cozy and quiet. We were staying in Raleigh for a race and we wanted to be close to the park, close to a grocery store, in a quiet neighborhood, in a comfortable house. This property met every single need. We loved the screened in porch and the kitchen had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive when I had questions through out the process. I would highly recommend this home and will definitely stay at it on our next trip.

Cozy Home with Privacy and Convenient Location

We had a wonderful 5-day stay here. My wife and I traveled with our 5-month old infant to explore Raleigh. It was a little tough to find initially because we arrived at night and the house is nestled within trees. But this adds charm and a sense of privacy, and you are still right by the main roads and city.Upon walking in, we were greeted with a complementary bottle of Prosecco and Milano cookies. The house is fully equipped with more than you need or could ask for, including lots of child-related items and toiletries. There are plenty of grocery stores and restaurants within 5-7 minutes drive and it is also conveniently located just 10 minutes from the airport. The backyard has a lot of trees and makes you feel like you’re in the woods. You can hear many songbirds throughout the day. The owner Miriam is really helpful and friendly, and is very responsive to questions and concerns (would usually respond to my messages within minutes).I would strongly recommend staying here for anyone visiting Raleigh and hoping for a cozy, peaceful stay and to get a feel for what it’s like to live like a local

Fantastic Stay

My family and I stayed at this wonderful home in Raleigh. The home was situated very conveniently to downtown Raleigh and very close to some local restaurants. The home is tucked away in a quiet, beautiful wooded neighborhood. My kids were very excited to find frogs, snails and sounds of birds in the morning. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful screened in porch to relax in. I enjoyed the quick commute to downtown Raleigh and to the Durham Bulls Stadium. Highly recommended! The Kelley Family

cabin in the woodws

I loved this house! we seemed to be in the woods but it was 10 minutes to our events. great meeting places all around, on the deck, in the back yard, and in the living room. loved it. i have spoken to the owner about possibly getting more comfortable bed and pillow in guest room, but other than that it was great.

Beautiful home in great location

My sister and I spent five memorable days in this wonderful home. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms all located on the second floor. We didn't get a chance to utilize cooking in the kitchen, but it was well stocked with everything one would need to do so. There was a lovely dining room with plenty of seating for family meals and additional outdoor areas. We spent every morning and evening on the screened in porch surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. The home is in a perfect location about 10 minutes from RDU airport and minutes from shopping, movie theaters, etc. Also in a very quiet, safe neighborhood. We had excellent communication with our hosts who were always quick to reply to any emails/questions. The check/in-out process was effortless and we were very appreciative to find some starter grocery items in the fridge upon our arrival. We would highly recommend this home for couples, a family or a girls trip and look forward to staying again if back in the area. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Can’t say enough about how much we loved this house. Adorable inside and out. Amazing, tranquil neighborhood. Perfect temperature control, comfy beds and pillows, a recliner my husband wanted to take home with us and a screened in patio that was a perfect oasis. Lovely welcoming items in the fridge and a well supplied kitchen. If we could give it 6 stars we would. We will definitely return.

Amazing

Everything about this property was wonderful! The pictures posted with the listing do not do the home justice. It is a well furnished, well cared for, stunning home. Their hospitality was top notch; Lights were left on for our evening check-in, goodies were left for us to enjoy, and it felt so much like a home. The soft, comfortable bedding, plush bath towels, & air conditioning were delightful after long, hot July days out & about in the area. Miriam & David should hold sessions for other VRBO property owners on how to manage/care for homes. The pride that they have in this property is exceptional; nothing is overlooked. Such a wonderful stay! We are looking forward to returning to the area & their home during a cooler season.

Wedding weekend

When we arrived my husband quickly said “This is going to work out perfectly for our long weekend in Raleigh. We were very pleased with the location, the condition and cleanliness of the property and the floor plan. We give the back porch 5 stars. We were very happy and surprised with the welcome goodies you provided and everything else we needed to make our stay very comfortable. It was great! We will be back !!

About the host

Hosted by Miriam Ramos

Traveling with our three children on vacation when they were young was always fun, but we learned that hotels were not always the most accommodating. Years ago we tried VRBO and were hooked right away. Our children and sometimes extended family could travel with us and have plenty of room to relax and enjoy each other in a comfortable home setting. Because of this, we always dreamed of owning our own vacation home.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I have lived in the area for the past 10 years and absolutely love it! Our neighborhood is a jewel in the middle of Raleigh. These are older homes with lots of character, nestled in large wooded lots that make it feel like you are miles away out in the country. We love it so much, that when a home in the area became available, we thought it would make the perfect vacation home. After a couple of months of renovating and updating this lovely home, we are ready to share it with others. We hope you love our home as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

From the moment you pull into the driveway, you will see why we love this place! The cozy front porch is only the beginning. Whether you are sitting by the fireplace in the comfy overstuffed chair with your favorite book or outside in the large open screened-in porch, this home begs you to relax. The large eat-in kitchen and outdoor fire pit make for great family gatherings. We are only a phone call away to make sure your stay meets all of your expectations.
