OUTDOORS:
Seeking a peaceful getaway, a romantic retreat, or an adventure-filled vacation, our waterfront stylish haven is the place.
Welcome to Lake View Retreat at the Holliday Homesteads darling property! Great Location 18 minutes away from Downtown Wake Forrest under 45 minutes from downtown Raleigh. Nestled along our own private “Swan Lake”, you will feel like you are in your own secret oasis as you enjoy one of the many outdoor seating areas. Nature lovers will be captivated by the diverse wildlife and the soothing sounds of birdsong. We encourage our guests to spend some much-needed time reconnecting with nature and themselves!

THE SPACE:
This home has warmth, color, and character, perfect for those seeking absolute relaxation in an indulgent, welcoming, and romantic environment. You will find your sanctuary away from the tourist crowds and your day-to-day routine here.
The living room is spacious enough to play in and want to stay in. Snuggle up in the cozy blankets and enjoy that movie, book, game, or conversation that you have been wanting to enjoy by the fireplace. A wall of windows brings in an abundance of natural light and the calming effects of the peaceful water right outside.

KITCHEN:
Lake View Retreat offers a kitchen that is big enough to dance and romance in! Equipped with a toaster oven, portable eye burners, Keurig/coffee pot, refrigerator, blender, etc. This kitchen is the perfect place to mix up a meal with the ones you love! The space offers a variety of things that will entice your senses. Even doing the dishes here is enjoyable because of the gorgeous views out the window above the kitchen sink! *The space is best for SMALL meals, think kitchenette.

BEDROOMS:
Lake View Retreat offers 2 lovely bedrooms to choose from, the self-titled “Lake View Room” with a queen bed and the lovely “Magnolia Room” with a full-size bed.
“Lake View Room” as its name suggests, boasts breathtaking views of the lake. Early birds will especially appreciate this room as the golden glow from the rising sun flows into the room. For those of you who are more night owls, don’t worry, we provide thicker curtains to keep the sun at bay until you are ready to take on the day! The restroom for guests to freshen in, is located off the Lake View room.

The “Magnolia Room” has elements of a classic farmhouse style. The large fireplace aesthetic is perfect for the chilly cold days of Fall and Winter. Cozy up in the comfy covers or bundle up in a blanket to enjoy a book in one of the two beautiful Victorian chairs for guests to relax within their room. Don’t forget to enjoy watching the sunset colors over the field through the wall of windows!

Extra Sleeping Space:
The living room offers two seating areas that can be placed together to make a comfortable sleeping arrangement if there are extra guests, roughly the size of a double bed.
We also offer a full-sized inflatable mattress if guests would prefer. (linens and extra pillows provided)

SUMMARY:
Lake View Retreat at the Holliday Homestead has so much character, comfort, and charm! Its location is in the sweet spot where you feel like you are away from it all and surrounded by the beautiful natural landscapes, yet just minutes from the yummy food, live music, and fun!

A Peaceful Piece of Natue
We loved this house. Situated on a lake with a beautiful view from the large deck and enjoyed sitting out their ti watch the starts. Plenty of windows across the back of the house to enjoy the view all day long. The house is very comfortable and smartlyv decorated in very taste. The kitchen has everything you need. A large collection of good looking pots and pans, several types of coffee pots including Kureic and a new stove top too! Everything you need for your stay! We’d come back to this country gem!

Charming place
The location is beautiful and has a lot of potential. The inside of the house was clean and super homey. The accuracy is a tad bit off.. this is listed as a 2br and one of them is closed for “renovations” which was not stated at all in the listing, leaving us with someone without a bed as this place does not sleep the amount it claims. The kitchen burners do not work but they have portables that took over an hour to cook eggs on. The home was missing essentials although it was stated these were provided however, owner was quick to drop these things off to us. Overall, if the place was finished being remodeled, this would be the perfect tranquil getaway. it does state there’s lots of nature around. which is true. and lots of mud wasps at the front of the house and inside the house .

That’s not a lake
Renting while renovating isn’t a good idea. The place was okay even though the body of water is closer to a mud puddle than it is a lake.

Beautiful home
My family and I came from Michigan for a wedding. We needed to get in a little early because of the wedding rehearsal and the host was very accommodating! Very clean home with sooo much charm! Definitely would stay there again!
