Charming Cottage House in Historic Raleigh
Such a nice little space and easy to access. We stayed here to run errands a few days before our wedding and it was perfect. They even allowed a late check out to help us out! Was bigger than expected.

Chapel Hill Airstream Hotel
Definitely glamping We had a lovely visit Very nice people and A lovely airstream. A fun adventure

Guest cottage close to downtown Carrboro
It was a lovely and peaceful location, especially as a quiet retreat to get work done. Also had no idea that Carrboro was such a great town.

Central to Everything, Renovated, Dog Friendly.
Marianne’s spot was super accessible, super cozy, and super accommodating. Marianne herself was wonderful and greeted us as we arrived. It was our first time staying at a bnb where the host was attached to the space but it was a wonderful stay and we’d totally stay again next time we’re in the triangle. Very solid if you need a chill little overnight.

Cozy Cottage on a Hilltop
I had a wonderful stay at Mary's guesthouse! The space was clean, cozy, and felt like a true home away from home. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of appliances, pans, tools etc. which made cooking easy. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. Mary's gardens made for a peaceful and relaxing setting. The location is in a quiet rural area, however it's conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and centrally located to Durham, Hillsborough, and Roxboro. Mary was an exceptional host — warm, friendly, and very accommodating. She made sure I had everything I needed and was always available if I had any questions. I highly recommend Mary's guesthouse to anyone looking for a comfortable and serene place to stay.

Walk to downtown. Private stylish studio cottage.
Loved staying at Donna’s. Appreciated her communication and the little amenities, ie a Diet Coke in the fridge when we arrived. Loved the getaway!

Cozy Secluded Accessible West Wing
Loved this place so much!! So peaceful and quiet, and a wonderful trail to walk my dog. I would definitely stay again! Host was super responsive!!

Seomra Guestsuite in Carrboro
We loved staying at Seomra Guestsuite. Very comfortable, clean, attractive, great snacks! Aja is very friendly and helpful. This was one of our best airbnb experiences. Am recommending it to local friends who might need accommodation for visitors.

Hot Tub | King Bed | 3 miles to Downtown
the bedding and the hot tub were the highlights for me in this cute and cozy older neighborhood. Even seeing the older cars and older homes in the area, this place was freshly remodeled inside and out and I felt safe! thanks again! there is no microwave, fyi.

"Wit's End" welcomes you! 2BR comfy guest house
This little cottage was adorable. We were in town for our grandson's graduation. It was a perfect location at only 1.2 miles from our daughter's house. The home had everything we needed for our 1 week stay . The side porch has a beautiful jasmine archway. They were in bloom and smelled wonderful. We even had a wonderful firefly show one evening. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Sauna Retreat - Woodland Guesthouse
This place was just perfection! The amount of intention the hosts put into detail is amazing! I love wellness and this place had so many touches towards that. Felt so much peace! Thank you!

Stylish Sanctuary with Private Garden & Parking
We keep coming back to Cari’s place whenever we’re in Raleigh. It’s become our home away from home. Cari consistently makes it very comfortable to stay here.

Charming -Stylish Studio Min. to Downtown Durham 1
It was a great stay at this beautiful place. Felt like at home. Everything is new, good condition, bathroom super clean and new! Everything was nice and neat. Organized would definitely come back and recommend to others.

“Meelie Doll”~ Private - Cozy Stdio Apt abv garage
Camille's "Meelie Doll" is a true home-away-from-home. The apartment is set in a quiet, leafy neighborhood, with a well-lit parking area set back from the road. The walkway around to the back of the garage where the stairs to the apartment are located is also well-lit and protected by well-placed security cameras. It all feels very safe. Inside, Camille has equipped the apartment with everything you could need during your stay. I was there for two weeks visiting my son and his wife and their new baby, who live nearby, and I did not need any supplies replenished during that time. It was especially nice to find a homemade lemon cake and some cookies awaiting me on the dining table. The QS bed is comfy and the bed linens are soft and cozy. It was very easy to get a good night's sleep there! The kitchen has all needed utensils and the fridge/freezer is large enough for the needs of a family. The living room has cozy chairs and the A/C keeps the place cool. In all, a lovely place!

Guesthouse in the heart of South Durham
Tess and Benji are wonderful hosts, and the apartment was absolutely perfect for a quick stay for my wife and I. Super clean and new, all the comforts we needed, including fresh veggies!! Thank you Tess 😀 Tess was very accommodating for a slightly later checkout, which was so appreciated. Definitely will book again next visit to Durham!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Boarding House
Natalia was a great host. She responded and communicated well. I asked two questions during my stay. I appreciate Natalia's quick response and willingness to help. The place was neat and clean. I was very comfortable during my stay. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, free of excessive traffic, but conveniently within a 3–5-minute drive to grocery store, restaurants, & convenience stations. I will definitely want to stay here again next time I am in the area.

Guest House on the Cary Downtown Park!
Wow! This place is truly exceptional. It is a perfect place for a couple to stay close to downtown Cary, basically a block from the park and Bark Bar. Everything you might need is provided, whether you’re staying a couple nights or much longer. The hosts provide plenty of little extras like an extensive supply of coffee pods, a tray of snacks, extra pillows, etc. The neighborhood is very walkable, though you’ll probably need a car to get to a supermarket. It’s been noted by others that the unit is guarded by a steep set of stairs, but if you can overcome that obstacle, you’re in for a treat. This place is so good that we’ll probably plan future trips around its availability.

Changes In Latitudes Poolside Apartment Raleigh NC
Staying here was better than a home away from home; it was like staying with your favorite family who welcome you in AND give you all the space and privacy you could want. Plus they let you bring your pup! This lovely apartment was perfect for hanging out with a couple of friends and easy to get anywhere in the RDU area. We loved floating in the pool and soaking in the hot tub tucked away in their fenced backyard. Towels were thick and plentiful; separate ones for swimming and showering was a wonderful luxury. We had everything we needed to cook dinner and watch a movie one night on the enormous TV. I haven't seen so many DVDs in one place since Blockbuster! When we wanted to play cards, two brand new decks were promptly delivered to us as well as extra barstools. The beds were so comfortable and the linens were as soft as could be. The bathroom was fully stocked- I was delighted to not have to run out to get shampoo, conditioner and body wash that I'd forgotten to pack!

The Rose Garden Retreat - NC State/Cameron Village
It is absolutely perfect in every way!

Duplex filled with natural light
Great “home base” for a couple of days in Durham: nestled in a quiet neighborhood yet still centrally-located, within walking distance of everything downtown and at Duke. Loft is equipped with desk and setup for remote work. Clean, lots of light, strong AC, spacious closet and shower—hard to think of anything this place didn’t have!

Urban homesteading in Carrboro
This place is a gem, and the description does it no justice. It is clean, quiet, and peaceful. Close to Chapel Hill and the sweet downtown Carrboro. We will return.

Private 'Barn'dominium with No Cleaning Fee!
Mark is an excellent host, is very responsive, and easy to communicate with. The barndominium is as he stated in his description. The shower is small and bathroom is downstairs / bedroom is upstairs. It has a nice kitchenette area (everything but a kitchen sink). He has a nice drinking water stand and microwave. The bedroom has a very large television, desk for working, and plenty of sitting space. The location was great for us as it provided easy access to Apex, main highway, grocery and restaurants. We had a very pleasant stay. Thank you, Mark!

Entire Apt: Amazing Walkability + Quiet Street
any questions we had were answered in record time. we met Angie and her family upon arrival and they are the nicest people. they made us feel very welcome and went above and beyond to make sure everything was to their standards. I'll definitely be staying here again the next time I'm in North Carolina!!

Water Feature Cottage
We enjoyed getting to stay at Larry & Sandra's place in Raleigh for an extended weekend trip! The place itself felt private and was in a nice quiet area, and it was only a short drive from pretty much everything we did in Raleigh. Best of both worlds getting to enjoy being close to everything but also having a quiet place to come rest at. Everything inside was clean and exactly as described and we felt right at home. The property that this place sits on is very well kept up with, beautiful backyward waterfall setup and lots of flowers everywhere, it's easy to see Larry and Sandra take pride in their place! They also checked in with us upon arrival to make sure everything went smoothly, super nice folks! Thank you for letting us stay here, we really enjoyed it!
