Great little cottage type house

Very clean, well kept. Worked great for extended family. BBQ worked fine and hot tub was a treat. Cozy backyard set up! Very walkable to small downtown area. Kitchen was new & well furnished. We liked that MBR had own sitting area with French doors - great for multi-Gen family stay. Only comment is house is on corner of two busy streets so you do hear road noise, especially in. Morning.

Perfect little Cottage!

I recently stayed at this cottage while visiting the Raleigh area as a possible location to move to. This cottage was a great find!! First, the location is fantastic (within walking distance to downtown Wake Forest, a safe neighborhood & close to so much food and shopping). The yard (courtyard) is adorable with a Hot Tub, fire pit, grill, tables & chairs, great lighting, and privacy! The cottage itself is very clean and cozy. The kitchen is modern and had everything we could have needed and then some. I personally didn't use them but saw books, games and other forms of entertainment for groups or kids. Several smart TV's throughout as well. This is definitely a place I would recommend and rent again when returning to the area.

The bungalow was just as advertised, and we were all very comfortable (three adults and our small dog). We enjoyed walking to shop downtown, including the Saturday farmers market, coffee at Wake Forest Coffee, the hardware store, and both White Street Brewing and Norse Brewing. We also recommend Salty Turtle Brewing, which has two restaurants nearby (burger joint and Mexican restaurant). Alex and Jennifer were great hosts!
