House was just as posted in pics! Kids loved it, we couldnt take them away from the playing areas. Lexi, our host, was really supportive as well, we arrived a couple of hours earlier than our check-in time and helped us out, even waiving the fee. If you want a place to connect with nature, this is the place!

Cute, Quit Neighborhood

We stayed here with some of our dance friends for a competition at Fuquay High School. The neighborhood is charming and kid friendly. It’s a great location to town but yet feels so secluded. The host communication was great and she was able to suggest a fun afternoon activity after a morning of dancing. We appreciate you sharing your home with us!

Weekend stay with friends.

Very cozy house in a quiet neighborhood. Close to anything you’d need. Renters are very communicative and professional! It felt like a fantastic blend of a cozy home to stay, and a hotel experience!

Weekend Wedding

We enjoyed our stay at this house. We arrived waaay to early and the owners allowed us to check in early. They usually have an early check-in fee and they were gracious enough to waive the fee. The location was great. This is a house that is great for families with young children. Very accommodating.

Nice cottage

We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of space for everyone to sleep. The outside looks like it is small, but dont let that deceive you. Nice backyard for the kids to play as well. We were only there for a couple of days, but worth it.

A short family vacation

We all had a great time, the kids enjoyed the play area, there was a little mud by play area outside and a tree hanging over fence, and the tv in the master bedroom didn't work, but over all we enjoyed ourselves there

Starting with the positives, the house is in a nice location and surroundings are very pretty. We were very happy with the large backyard and play structure for the kids. It was also nice having all the toys upstairs for the children. The kitchen has newer appliances and was the nicest room in the house. We were in NC for my son’s wedding. There were 10 of us staying in the house. My biggest complaint was the overall cleanliness of the home. It was disgusting, to say the least. The couches both upstairs and downstairs were dirty, floors looked like they needed to be deeply cleaned, there was hair in my bed like sheets weren’t washed, most of the window blinds were broken so there was no privacy, there was mold in the downstairs bathroom tub, the upstairs princess bed was completely broken and topped if anyone lasted on it. We had to take the mattress off and lay it on the floor. I took pictures of everything and sent to the owner. She responded promptly and said she would talk to her cleaning crew but if we were unhappy, we could leave the premises. There was nowhere to relocate with that amount of people. I asked for a partial refund and was denied despite the pictures. Additionally, we had to go buy hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, towels and blankets since the house was so poorly stocked. It was just not a good experience for anyone. Also, there were many lightbulbs broken so lighting was poor. I would not recommend this place.

Robertson Family State Fair Stay

Just a little miss communication about the check in process, but that got resolved quickly. The property was roomy and well supplied. My families 4 toddlers had a fantastic time playing in the upstairs kids play room for hours. We used the overhead projector to entertain the kids with a childrens movie. If there had been a safety gate at the top of the stairs it would have been absolutely perfect.

The location was perfect for family wedding. 4 miles from venue. I agree with other reviewers, it could use some tlc, freshen up, but it worked out for our trip. We had a couple of issues, the host was quick to respond. Lots of parking. Lots of space.

Nice for families, but needs some maintenance

Overall, potential to be a nice property. However, cleanliness needs to better and the property could use one or two days of maintenance work (for example, the front door handle is loose, the bathroom door did not latch (we had to fix it) and the kitchen table chairs need to be fixed or replaced. We still had a nice stay and it fit all of our family members.

Where’s the hot tub?

Overall an ok stay for our needs. Not enough seating for 7 adults. 4 kitchen chairs and only a couch in living room. (What happened to the brown chair in the photos?)Please replace your bath towels. We ended up finding plenty but looked like rags with stains and holes.

Kid Friendly

The kids were thrilled with the playroom and toys - the projections screen was great - DVD's were not there but we had our own -the beds were comfortable - some of the pillows were not - there was sufficient amount of towels but the quality lacked -we had to go and buy paper towels and garbage bags but there was plenty of laundry soap - the deck was very dirty but there was a hose and broom for us to use - the dining room chairs were in horrible condition - one was not usable - the oven was having issues but the stovetop was good - we had a great time there - the host was very nice and responded every time we reached out

Worst place to stay

The place was so smelly and host was very rude . There were no basic necessities like paper towel , hand wash etc…when asked for the host was very rude to supply the things and spoke very badly as we checked out 15 minutes late. Worst worst place to stay. We stayed for 7 days and didn’t sleep properly for one day also because of stinking smell.

Carolina Cottage review

The property has potential, needs a little tlc. Internet did not work but host will probably get the ISP to fix this, one of the showers doesn't get hot but I think this is another issue that the host will probably address with the plumber. Lawn was not cut so again a little tlc might improve things. We had to put 1 older adult in the upstairs childrens area which is cluttered but probably fun for little kids.

It was ok

We picked this rental because it had a backyard space for kids to play. However within a couple minutes of being there my kids got stung by the wasps that live in the nest in the playground. The back porch was pretty dirty and table and chairs had more wasp nests. We went to use the charcoal grill but it was full of ashes and dirty and we had to clean everything. Inside was surface level clean but definitely could use a deep clean. Also, bring your own silverware because there are only 5 forks for the whole 5 bedroom house.
