Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Downtown, Raleigh

This was hands down the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in during my 8 years of using the platform. The house is everything I’d imagine in a dream home—spacious, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. With three bedrooms upstairs, one in the basement, and three full bathrooms, it comfortably fit our group of five teenagers, my husband, me, and our German shepherd. Having three bathrooms was a total game-changer. The living spaces were cozy, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the peaceful setting was perfect for recharging. We stayed during Dreamville Festival, and even though it was a 30-minute drive to Raleigh, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The home, the setting—everything was perfect. We especially loved the outdoor swings. We stayed for three nights but could’ve stayed longer. The pictures don’t do this home justice—it’s even better in person. If you’re thinking of booking, do it. Perfection at its finest—you won’t regret it! ♥️

Everything was perfect and as described. The hosts were very kind and helpful. This really is a great place to spend a weekend with your significant other.

Absolutely perfect spot. If you are looking for a lowkey vibe with plenty of space, this is the choice for you. Will most definitely be back next time I’m in town!

We were absolutely thrilled with our stay at Chelston's home! Not only was it a fantastic location, but also he was one of the most kind and responsive hosts we've ever had. The home itself was a wonderful balance of homey, comfortable, and luxurious. The kitchen was a dream (better equipped than any other rental I've ever stayed in) if you plan to do some cooking (as we did); the towels and beds were lovely; and there were just so many small touches throughout that made it a welcoming place to be. We're already hoping to return to Carrboro and will absolutely stay here again if possible. Highly recommend.

Matt and Dawn's place was beyond amazing! My kids and I were only 30 minutes away from our own home, but this getaway was much needed. The location was peaceful and very cozy! They respond quickly and were very nice! I would definitely book again for another stay! We were in heaven at this home🥰.

Perfect for a weekend getaway and wedding. Close to everything Downtown Cary has to offer. Great access to the park, restaurants, and nightlife. Perfect location and amenities for a family of 3-4.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! Beautiful neighborhood for morning walks and a relaxing environment. Enjoyed the sunroom and pool table!

We loved the cozy cottage! Convenient location to Durham and Chapel Hill, clean cozy and comfortable place, and nice extras with snacks and drinks when we arrived. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place. Very clean, easy access, great instructions for checking, and host is very responsive ! Enjoyed our stay.

Ashley's place was great! It was clean, had everything we needed and both beds were extremely comfortable! She was super responsive and friendly. And the welcome basket was above and beyond. Would definitely stay again!

Our stay was wonderful. The location is good, the cottage was sweet and had everything we needed plus some. Rain is an excellent host and we would definitely stay there again.

Really easy stay. Very clean. Good communication

5 Star clean and comfy bed geat place to stay and Daniel is awsome.

The apartment was perfect! The work space was great and it already has a display screen. Mohmeet checked in during my stay and was very proactive. I will definitely stay here again. The walls are pretty thin. It didn’t bother me, but if you’re a light sleeper it could be a bother.

This house was exactly as pictured with good space for four of us to all have our own room. It was well equipped with supplies and Mary/Joe were very responsive and helpful.

We LOVED our stay at Paulina's and wish we could've stayed longer. While I wouldn't recommend it for a young child, my child loved the Airbnb and we just had to help with stairs as they're a bit steep and wooden. We all slept SO well after our long day of travel -- this place was just what we needed. Loved being able to step outside in the morning. Our least favorite thing about this place was getting our luggage and belongings up the front steps, so be prepared for that. The bathroom was so nice and bed linens were great quality, which is where most Airbnb's cheap out. 10/10 stay. Wish this place was a little cheaper per night so that we could justify staying longer. But, highly recommend!

This was not my first stay at the Scout House, and it will not be my last. Everything about it is perfection - from the location, to the property, to the sensational hosts (Marie & BJ). My stay was delightful in every way and I cannot wait to return!

My family and I love this place. This was our second time booking. The scenery and privacy is amazing. Perfect location for us to stay close to family who live in the area. We will 100% be visiting again. Harriette makes everything simple for check-in and check-out. Highly recommended. Get the real feel of peace and tranquility in a cozy cabin while only being minutes from town. You will not be disappointed.

Wiene’s place at 200 Britton Drive is an absolute gem. Tucked away in a beautiful private setting, the property is full of artistic charm—especially the upcycled garden art, which gave the space such a creative and welcoming vibe. I arrived late in the evening to candles softly glowing and fresh strawberries waiting—such a thoughtful touch! The communication was hands-down the most responsive and helpful I’ve ever experienced with any host. And the biggest surprise? Strikingly beautiful, socialized peacock roaming the grounds—what a magical, unforgettable highlight! If you’re looking for peace, beauty, and a host who truly goes above and beyond, this is your place. I can’t wait to return!

This cabin is bright and cozy, the environs idyllic, and Daniel was extremely responsive and went the extra mile checking in on us when snow was predicted before our stay and making sure the steps were de-iced and the boot tray was handy. very comfortable and convenient!

this place is awesome for fisherman looking to fish all the surrounding lakes then come back and fish the pond and hang out around the firepit with family and friends..the house and property are beautiful and comfortable

OUTSTANDING!!! I would live there if I could! Liz was VERY responsive within 5 min max while I was there. The home itself is so cute, clean, comfortable and the area is quiet. I had everything I needed and all of the instructions were very detailed and easily understood. The first night it rained and the sound on the roof could of put me to sleep. The outside fenced in area was comfortable and if I had of brought my pet it would of been enough room for him to play and do his business. This is by far my favorite place and host!! Thank you Liz!!!

Very convenient location to downtown, grocery stores, an amazing park and great restaurants. Peaceful and private which makes it a bonus!

Though I live close by in Cary, I needed a quiet retreat to finish writing my book and Barbara's place was perfect! Thoughtful touches throughout the home, incredibly clean, the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need to cook as if you were at home, and Barbara's communication was exceptional. I highly recommend this place for everyone as it's great for solo travelers, couples, or families. Make sure you have a sit in the hanging chair in the living room - it's delightful :) Thanks, Barbara!
