Mountain Cabin in Town

Located up on top of a hill on 3 acres surrounded by wooded areas, our beautiful recently renovated A-Frame cabin is only a few minutes from downtown Wake Forest and 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh! The Mountain Cabin in Town is extremely private offering plenty of privacy for your stay, while still offering shopping, dining, and activities just a short ways away.

The Mountain Cabin in Town has an outdoor pool that is open for use from April to Oct, weather and temperature permitting. The pool has a heater which keeps it warm early/late season and during any chilly evenings.

Other amenities provided include bed linens, bath towels, pool towels, washer and dryer, a well-stocked kitchen, outdoor grill, 2 fire pits and plenty of parking…everything to help your stay feel like home away from home.

There is a "Welcome book" on the table as you walk into the house with house rules, property information, and local activities that may interest you. It is also available electronically at https://tinyurl.com/3s7r8zck

This house was a great find. It was clean, the host was communicative, great location and the pool is fantastic! It’s tucked away and offers a lot of privacy, but only 30 min to the airport. Would definitely stay again.

In town cabin !
We plan to go back for a longer stay! The home was perfect and had a little something for everyone including a fenced in yard for our dogs. We had fun playing ping pong and swimming as the weather was so nice. The home was set back so it was private yet close to many stores, restaurants, and a large park that had great walking trails!

Perfect staycation.
The house is so secluded on a hill in the woods we felt like we were in the mountains. It was great to swim, play ping pong, grill out on the deck, ride bikes and walk in Joyner park. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped with everything in perfect condition. Perfect fun vacation for our family.

Wedding Guest Lodging
I had wedding guests stay at the property. It was a perfect location, where you felt away from the world but also near downtown to make errands easy. The hosts were fantastic and super communicative with us about access into the property. The place is well maintained and filled with thoughtful, fun details.

Great Family Getaway
Our stay was well organized thanks to the host and we rarely saw any maintenance show up. There is certainly plenty to do in the area, although the pool and the park, which is in walking distance was about as far as we went. Many stores close to grab whatever you need, and the layout of the property was perfect for our dogs, two kids in their own room and a room for my wife and I. Plenty of shade and sun at the same time so pick your spot. The ping pong table was a hit, as well as the pool and the fire pit. If we needed anything the host was very responsive. Great place to stay and we'd book it again.

Excellent property
This is an excellent property. Location is excellent, close to a really great park (I had some great early morning runs), only a mile from a good supermarket and take out places, and 5 to 10 minutes from some good restaurant options. It is suburban but because it is up a little hill in amongst some trees, you really feel like you're isolated and in the country. For a winter break, it was very cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. There is a fenced in back yard (because of the pool) that our dog thought was just fabulous. We had also good clear quick communication with the owner/manager.

Cabin in wake forest
The property was very clean and tidy. The pool was open for use and it was a blast. The kids absolutely loved it. The pics and description of the home on VRBO are accurate and depicts the property as it is. Edgar was very prompt in responding to any questions via email and was very kind and courteous. We had zero issues with the home and definitely plan on staying here again on our next trip down. Thank you Edgar for the hospitality and look forward to the next trip.

Hurricane trip
Came into town for a couple hockey games. Great place to stay. Location was close to everything but peaceful in the country. Right next to a beautiful park with multiple walking trails. Highly recommend taking a stroll. House was great. Had spices and condiments which most VRBO’s we have stayed at don't so having to spend extra money. Property was beautiful wooded area. Too cold for pool in March but nice area to spend outside time too. Boys played a lot of chess while I caught up on Galaga video game! Owner was very responsive and great communication while we were here.

Relax
The house was as listed. Very easy check in, the house was clean and the entire area around the pool is fenced in which was great for our dog. The kids loved the pool and ping pong table. We came here in mid April to show one our kids a bunch of colleges. It was about 40 min to NC State, 1 hr to UNC and roughly 1;40 to Elon. So there was a bit of driving every day, but the house was great to come back to. The pool was cold during mid April, but that did not stop the kids and myself from going in. We BBQ a few times and then relaxed by the fire pit. The house is not too close to any neighbors, so you don't feel bad when the kids are getting loud in the pool. The house comes well supplied with bath and pool towels which made packing much easier. A couple of very small things....There were no zip lock bags or foil. Cornhole boards would be a good investment. The dishwasher did not work during our visit, but the owner got back to me immediately and offered to send someone over, but we declined since we were in and out of the house, we did not want someone there when we were out. I would stay here again.

AMAZING mountain cabin in town
My 2 adult daughters and 3 grandchildren enjoyed this beautiful home. The home was immaculate and everything we needed was available. Kitchen was wonderful and even had coffee pods and sugar for coffee. There are games for the kids and the pool is perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this home. The property manager was very responsive. Added bonus was an excellent grocery store and shopping center very close by. I highly recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future.
