Cozy cabin with indoor fireplace

The Cabin is a peaceful property, surrounded by nature.

The space
If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway, look no further. As soon as you walk in this spacious cabin, you will experience a feeling of calm and peace. Located on a 20 acres lot, this cabin is surrounded by nature. There are plenty of rocking chairs on the porch to read, sip on coffee (included with your stay), or just sit and be. Wake up to the sounds of birds chirping in the distance, or sit at night on the porch, and enjoy the sounds of frogs, and watch as the deer walk by in a sea of fireflies. At night, there are millions of stars to observe. Eventually drift off to sleep and dream!

Other things to note
The cabin is located 25 minutes north east of Durham, 40 minutes north west of Wake Forest and 50 minutes north of downtown Raleigh.

Great for Quiet Get Away
I stayed at this lovely cabin with 2 of my girlfriends. We wanted to stay somewhere close to home (Raleigh) but far enough removed to feel like we were escaping reality and definitely accomplished this with this cabin. We were easily able to stream a yoga class for ourselves in the spacious living room and the. Drive a short distance to Durham for several dinner choices. Overall we were super pleased and would definitely stay again! The only issue we encountered was how slick the stairs were and would have liked a railing on the wall side and a runner down the center.

Into The Woods
Disney could not have orchestrated a more perfect experience. Que the Frogs and Birds. Butterflies, ready? Don't forget the Deer, all four families. If it's peace and tranquility you're looking for, look no further pilgrim, your search has ended. A nice additional touch are the red reflectors to guide you down the path home. Anne, thank you again for your hospitality. This is not our first visit and certainly won't be our last. Barry & Darin PS: Sorry, we ate all of the chocolate chip cookies this time.

We had a wonderful time in a beautiful cabin. It was very secluded and quiet. It was very large and could combine 10 people. We would stay again if we were in the area! Thanks

Quiet, cozy, cabin retreat
Loved this quaint little cabin off the beaten path. Perfect location for us and great place to relax and get away from it all. Found this in an area nearby to Creedmoor, where our daughter and her family lives. We look forward to coming back and staying here on our next visit! It is a ways back off the main road, but that ensures that no one will bother you and you won’t hear any traffic or congestion. The cabin’s interior is immaculate and the entire structure is well-built, modern, and stylish. The cabin looks rustic, but has all the modern conveniences and everything is provided. Overall, a great property and host that we hope to use again.

We enjoyed our stay at this house very much. It was private, very spacious and clean and accommodating. It was only minutes from the wedding venue where our cousin got married.

Wonderful family gathering house!
Having stayed at multiple rental properties from west to east coasts, we rank this place as one of the best. Clean, comfortable and so well outfitted for all the meals we shared. We explored the surrounding area and enjoyed multiple walking trails and the beautiful Duke botanical gardens. Our afternoon walking the grounds surrounding the house and rocking in the rocking chairs on the porch was our favorite day of all. We look forward to returning! Thank you for offering such a relaxing property.

Family Time
This property is so homey and relaxing. This is the second time we have stayed here and it’s very clean, uncluttered and tastefully decorated. I really like the kitchen and the dishes are great and organized and makes it easy to cook a nice meal. The area is so quiet and serene we enjoy seeing deer and wildlife. We like the location with an easy drive to Oxford and Durham. Hope to be back again soon.

Absolutely Beautiful!
This cabin is absolutely beautiful and well stocked with quality cooking equipment and dishware. (that’s always a concern of mine when checking into a property) There’s plenty of counter space for prepping meals. The bedrooms are spacious and the hardwoods throughout are stunning. The property is tucked away down a gravel road, but you’re not far from other properties (that can sometimes feel scary). The location is perfect. Will definitely be staying again.

Wedding weekend
This was the perfect house to stay in for a wedding in the area. Plenty of room with 3 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths and a loft den area too. The house was very-very clean and uncluttered. The kitchen was stocked with great pans and dishes. The atmosphere around the design and decor of the house and where it located in a quiet off the road area was so relaxing. We saw deer and lots of birds. The weather was great for sitting on the porch and looking at nature. Would stay here again for sure! The host was great to work with offering great directions and available for questions.

Gorgeous getaway for the whole family
This was the perfect spot for our family to stay while in town for my niece’s wedding - so clean and comfortable. We loved preparing meals in the well-stocked and open kitchen. The main floor living room was spacious and full of entertainment options, while the additional TV room in the loft allowed the kids a fun space. The wrap-around porch was a bonus to take in the lovely property and we rested well during our stay. The host was very responsive to any questions we had and sent very detailed and helpful instructions. I’d absolutely recommend this rental to anyone staying in the area!

Perfect for a quiet weekend.
Amazing host, amazing house and property, amazing experience. The perfect balance between privacy and "getting away" while still being close to everything Raleigh and Durham have to offer. The only criticisms I can come up with are the gravel road leading to the house being somewhat hard to find and drive on at night and the bed in the master bedroom being a bit too firm for my tastes.
