The Water Feature Cottage was perfect for our 5 night stay, just the right size for 2 people, but also comfortable for our son to visit. The cottage was immaculate, the bed was comfortable, and it was quiet at night. The "back porch" patio is perfect for enjoying coffee or drinks and the landscaping is beyond beautiful. We really enjoyed watching birds, listening to frogs and discussing plants with Larry. Thank you Larry, Sandra and (of course) Hobbs!

Best hosts ever!

We could not have asked for a better stay or cottage to stay in! We needed a nice place to retreat to after long days at the convention center, and Larry & Sandra provided the perfect spot. The cottage was just the right size for a 6 night stay, complete with laundry room and anything you could need. The property is just stunning with the Koi pond and greenery. It feels extremely secluded, but it's less than a mile from all stores, restaurants, and conveniences. I hope business brings me to Raleigh again just so I can stay here!

Overnight get away!

This weekend I wanted to get away from the noise of my home life but I didn't want to go far. This place was the place that made me feel like I was at home away from home. The ambience of backyard and the quiet atmosphere made it perfect for an outdoor dinner. The interior of the home was just a cozy. Larry and Sarah was so kind and outgoing and made this a smooth experience.

Cozy Cottage

My husband and I were in town for a wedding and were looking for a place to relax before and after the festivities. This was the perfect spot! The cottage has so much personality and is surrounded by a beautiful garden. the homeowner greeted us with a smile and provided all of the amenities we could possibly need. We will definitely be back.

Another wonderful visit at the Cottage

My husband and I recently stayed at the Cottage while visiting our son who conveniently lives about 2 miles away. This must be about a dozen times we have stayed thee, so much that it truly feels like it is *our* cottage away from home. Absolutely any thing you need has been thoughtfully already provided. Nothing beats waking up to the views of the expansive garden and fountain, and further enjoying all of that scenery walking around with my morning coffee. Larry and Sandra are the most gracious of hosts.

A heavenly place to stay

The cottage is my go-to place to stay on my frequent trips to Raleigh to see my son, and I look forward to arriving every time. After more than a dozen stays at the cottage, it truly feels like my home, and garden!, away from home. Such a pleasure to wander around the lovely plantings around the water features and property. And Larry and Sandra are not only warm and welcoming hosts, they have thought of every little thing a guest might need. This property is highly recommended.
