Close to Historic downtown Wake Forest and 20 min to Raleigh

Welcome to your tranquil retreat in Wake Forest! Nestled on a private one acre lot, this charming single-level home offers a cozy and inviting escape, perfect for short-term needs. Situated in close proximity (2 miles) to the historic heart of Wake Forest, this home promises a delightful blend of convenience, charm, comfort and serenity. The fenced yard ensures privacy and a safe space for you and your pets. Perfect area for relaxation or outdoor activities, bring the frisbee and other outdoor games!

One of the key highlights of this property is its proximity to the historic downtown area of Wake Forest, just a short bike ride, walk or drive away. Explore the town's rich history, enjoy our local restaurants, and savor craft beers at the nearby brewery. It's an ideal location for those looking to immerse themselves in the culture and heritage of this charming town.

With three bedrooms accommodating up to six guests, this home provides a comfortable and spacious setting for your stay. The primary bedroom boasts a comfortable queen bed, bedside tables, and a generously sized dresser topped with a flat-screen Roku TV, ensuring your comfort and entertainment. The primary bathroom is a true sanctuary, featuring a large walk-in closet, a soothing jetted tub, and a separate tile shower for your relaxation and rejuvenation.

Two additional bedrooms await, offering a queen bed in one and a set of bunk beds with single beds in the other. Both bedrooms conveniently access a full bathroom equipped with a pedestal sink and a tub/shower combination.

Step outside onto the large deck, accessible from the master bedroom or the kitchen, and discover your private outdoor oasis.

The property also boasts a distinctive benefit – a fenced-in yard with a ramp accessible from the deck. Originally installed for my beloved elderly dog, this feature has become a hit among guests. It provides a safe and secure space for your furry friends to frolic and enjoy the outdoors. Plus, with the home's secluded setting, you'll find that it can get wonderfully dark at night, creating the perfect backdrop for stargazing from the deck.

Home away from home!
We were visiting throughout the Wake Forest and Franklin County areas. This home was centrally located, convenient, quiet, and immaculate. Michelle (our host) was extremely helpful in coordinating prior to our arrival. We hope to stay in this home again when we return to visit family. Mike

Exactly as described
This was perfect for us. We had our dog and the fenced in yard and access from bedroom made that very early morning bathroom time so much more enjoyable. The sensors for the lights was great. House was clean and very comfortable.

Great House
We stayed here to be close to our son and his family for Christmas. They already had a houseful of people, so we stayed here and it was fabulous!!! Very clean and nice!!! Our only complaint was that we could never get the TV in the bedroom to work, so if you’re a TV person you may want to be sure that’s working before you go. We will definitely stay here again!!!!
