Excellent location

We enjoyed our stay in the property. The only suggestion I have is that they provide clean wash clothes and towels for each person for the number of days of your stay. I don’t want to wash towels and wash clothes everyday of my stay. Other than that it was excellent. Great location, very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful home near historic downtown Wake Forest

We really enjoyed this modern and comfortable house in Wake Forest. Modern appliances, comfortable bedrooms and all the little things one could need were provided. We especially enjoyed the deck and fenced in back yard where we listened to the birds singing while enjoying our breakfast. Off the beaten path, but not too far from restaurants and shopping. Check in was a breeze and we enjoyed great communications from Debra both before and during out stay. Thank you.
