All the comforts of home - 6 large bedrooms, new kitchen, big screen TV, porch.

Read several positive reviews before deciding to contract but still a bit nervous because of the size of our group and the importance of our gathering (wedding and annual Christmas gathering). My worries were TOTALLY unfounded and we could not have been more pleased. This was not just "accommodations" because our fantastic host went way beyond just B&B. He was welcoming upon arrival and personally made sure everything was just right for us. He even surprised us with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and a collection of elves placed throughout the home to watch over us. My grandchildren were also treated to gingerbread house kits and their own personal stockings. We adults weren't left out either and we enjoyed the complementary Champaign and wine that was stocked for us upon arrival.

The accommodations were very spacious and comfortable. We typically cook for ourselves when we gather and we found the kitchen well appointed, including all of the equipment and utensils we needed. Christmas dinner was a breeze (double oven AND convection/MW combo) and the grill on the deck performed well so it was used several times during the week as well.

The neighborhood is very nice and we enjoyed daily walks down the quiet streets. The Christmas decorations at some of the homes were fabulous and could put Clark Griswald to shame (yes we did watch Christmas Vacation on the big screen TV during our stay).

The best and truthfully honest comment to end with is this...if I ever have another occasion to arrange accommodations in Raleigh area, Brian's house will be my first call.

We rented this home for our family when attending the NC State fall commencement. It was perfect for us. Situated in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, the house is well appointed and meticulously clean. Brian, the owner, was extremely responsive and thoughtful making sure to recognize our graduate in his personalized welcome letter. My only regret is not having found this home previously during her four-year tenure, and not being here during the warmer months to enjoy the fantastic screen porch and decks. However if you are a guest during the Christmas holidays, be sure to take a drive down the street and enjoy the amazing holiday lights in the neighborhood. That was an unexpected culmination to a truly celebratory day.

Our family of 12 including 6 grand children returned to Brian’s lovely home for the second year in a row because of several reasons. The first, being his wonderful hospitality and his attentiveness to our needs. He has once again opened not only his home but his heart to our growing family, making sure our grandchildren that have gathered from different states were given special attention by him. Another reason for returning is the clean and spacious home, stocked with everything you may need. The location is beautiful and easily accessible to many family attractions. We are definitely planning to return again for the third year in a row! Thank you, Brian, for your graciousness to our family.

Enjoyed our stay, property is in a quiet location but with good access to North Raleigh and the Triangle overall. Great porch area. Amenities were left on-hand, which is appreciated,

This home was exceptional & Brian made us feel like royalty! My son graduated from Ravenscroft HS and instead of getting 5 hotel rooms I wanted to keep our family together and choosing Brian’s home was the best decision ever! Every member of my family from the oldest (78) to the youngest (3) enjoyed their stay! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed from cake knives to pans & pots! We cooked many family meals over the week including Chicken Alfredo, omelets, etc using the dishes & everything Brian’s home supplied. Also the basket of almost 100 Keurig pods was a hit for my coffee loving family along with the Creamer he left in the fridge! It didn’t stop there as Brian stocked the fridge and freezer with something for everyone... Klondike bars, juices & beer! He even got my aunt her favorite cranberries & unsalted peanuts!

The rooms were all clean & towels laid out as if we were at a 5 Star hotel!! With over 12 people everyone had space to relax and enjoy and never did we feel cramped! There was something for everyone! While some played Scrabble in the sun room, the teens connected their PlayStation in the living room, the adults had both the formal & non formal dining rooms to sit, talk and catch up!

My only regret was that I never got a chance to go lay out in the hammock!

Brian thanks for making my family feel like they were home! In fact, my aunts & Mother in law insisted on washing towels and sheets they had used because they felt truly at home and wanted to make sure Brian was as happy with them as they were with him and his home!

My youngest son graduates in 2 years from HS & if Brian’s home is available then we will certainly return without hesitation!!

Thanks again for making my family gathering and my son’s graduation the most memorable experience ever!!!
