Chris was a very attentive and responsive host. The cottage is so cozy and welcoming: perfect kitchen and living room for nights in, surrounded by beautiful trees with deer running throughout every evening and bedding that felt like a cloud. Would highly recommend and will stay again the next time I visit Raleigh.
