  Elizabeth M from Wake Forest, NC recommends this vacation rental

  My husband and I rented the room for 2 nights and really enjoyed it. It’s spacious and had everything we needed. The pillows and bed are incredibly comfortable. They even had amber lightbulbs in the bedside lamps. A nice touch for someone like me who hates the glare of bright white bulbs at night. The toiletries were generous and very nice and we had plenty of towels, so much so we didn’t end up using them all. The fridge was nice to have on hand and so was the coffee, as I’m an early riser and was up well before breakfast, so it was nice to have a cup while I waited for the world to wake up. It was also very quiet. We knew others were staying there, but we never heard them. The only negative was the elevator which was incredibly slow, but wasn’t a big deal once we got used to it.

  From bike riding, using the pool, kayaking, walking and eating amazing food this place more than met our needs for a weekend to unplug and get away. If it wasn’t so hot we would have played tennis! We are hoping to bring the family, our adult children, here next year for a weekend away.
