Charming Cottage House in Historic Raleigh
Comfortable space in a charming neighborhood!

Chapel Hill Airstream Hotel
Definitely glamping We had a lovely visit Very nice people and A lovely airstream. A fun adventure

Central to Everything, Renovated, Dog Friendly.
Our pups loved her backyard! So much room to run and play. Place was okay for the price since our dogs were welcome with no extra fee She was always friendly when our paths crossed. We enjoyed the little touches . Plenty of coffee and a snack for breakfast

Cozy Cottage on a Hilltop
My stay was very pleasant. I was too busy to enjoy everything as I was buying a house for myself. The only thing I regret that I missed super interesting talks with Mary. She is an amazing human being! Thank you!

Walk to downtown. Private stylish studio cottage.
Cute cottage away from everything but so close! We were able to walk downtown within a few minutes. The area is so quaint and quiet, we didn't feel like we were in the city at all. The place was clean and orderly. Donna was very responsive and friendly, she gave very well detailed instructions. There were drinks and snacks available and if you forgot anything, it was surely stocked. I would definitely stay again!

Cozy Secluded Accessible West Wing
This place is great! Close drive to Chapel Hill + surrounding area. Once you get to the house it feels like a totally different world.

Seomra Guestsuite in Carrboro
We loved staying at Seomra Guestsuite. Very comfortable, clean, attractive, great snacks! Aja is very friendly and helpful. This was one of our best airbnb experiences. Am recommending it to local friends who might need accommodation for visitors.

The Yurt at Frog Pond Farm
Really peaceful spot surrounded by nature—great place to relax. Loved the hot tub and the nature art walk. Linda and Steven were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Oak Forest Guest House
We had a wonderful stay at Sheri’s Airbnb this weekend! The house was impeccably clean and beautifully designed, and every detail was thoughtfully curated to make us feel right at home. Sheri was incredibly hospitable and truly thought of everything to ensure a comfortable and relaxing experience. We hope to stay again next year!

North Hills Private Suite~Walkable~Kg Bed~Fire Pit
Exactly what I needed and in a great location! Would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Sauna Retreat - Woodland Guesthouse
This stay was truly special—peaceful, beautiful, and full of thoughtful touches. We loved relaxing outside in the serene surroundings and unwinding in the sauna. The robes, slippers for inside, and spa masks made it feel like a retreat. The gifts from local farms were such a sweet surprise, and the attention to detail throughout the space made us feel so cared for. One of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had—highly recommend!

Casa de huéspedes
Great host and amazing spot! Everything was clean and very easy check in and out the whole experience was awesome. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area looking for something cozy and convenient. Thank you again will hopefully be back !

Mebane Guest House
Perfect get away. Clean space. Comfortable bed. Quiet neighborhood.

Carrboro Cottage-Guest House in Downtown Carrboro
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Carrboro! It was the perfect home base for our family of four. The space was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location couldn’t be better—tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood but still just minutes from the heart of Carrboro and Chapel Hill. We loved exploring the local shops, farmers market, and cafes, and it was always a treat to come back to such a serene and welcoming space at the end of the day. Our hosts were responsive, kind, and made us feel right at home. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and family-friendly getaway in the area!

Carriage House Studio in Quiet Neighborhood
This is an amazing stay. It's in a safe location and the neighborhood is gorgeous. I brought my 2 dogs and walked them throughout the neighborhood multiple times a day. Everyone said Hi and was so nice. The space has everything you need and is very cozy and clean. Jamie is so responsive, kind, and flexible. Can't recommend this stay enough.

DelightfulDesign~WalkToEats&Drinks~PvtBalcony~Pets

Guest House on the Cary Downtown Park!
We loved our stay here. Such a great location to shops and restaurants. The house is clean and so charming with very thoughtful touches to make it home away from home. Jim and Terri are easy going and friendly hosts!

Carolina Cottage
We booked Kirsten’s cottage for a weekend reunion in Chapel Hill with some of my dearest friends. There was ample room and amenities that made it easy for everyone to be comfortable and reconnect. Kirsten was a fabulous host that made checking in/checking out a breeze and made sure we had everything we needed to make this weekend possible. I would a hundred times over book her again (and most likely will!) anytime my friends and I are looking for a getaway back home. Go Heels and go Kirsten!

The Rose Garden Retreat - NC State/Cameron Village
The Rose Garden was exceptionally clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. Its location was close to the NCSU campus, walkable even! It was within a few blocks of Cameron Village, where we walked for a few meals, plus had a grocery there as well where we picked up a few items. The bed was super comfortable and the linens were crisp and clean. The surrounding neighborhood was safe, peaceful and quiet. With having stayed four (4) nights, we found the Rose Garden to be a great find! We would definitely return. Additionally, Stacy, the host, was exceptionally responsive when we had some questions. The parking is on street, but very safe with a few restrictions, which we didn’t find obtrusive whatsoever. A very enjoyable stay for a great weekend in Raleigh!

The Guest Cottage, Walk to UNC
Erin was a great host! We loved the “Guest Cottage” for our weekend in Chapel Hill with friends. It was very comfortable, peaceful & just enough room for my husband & I. We will definitely check it out in the future for our visits!

Modern Retreat near Downtown Raleigh
If we could give the hosts more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! They were excellent friendly, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay. The space was beautiful, spotless, and clearly very well taken care of. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!

Duke Park - 1 Bed Carriage House.
The space was perfect: beautifully designed with lots of natural light, and it had all the amenities we needed. It’s in a charming and walkable neighborhood, too, but with easy access to downtown. I loved it!

Water Feature Cottage
We enjoyed getting to stay at Larry & Sandra's place in Raleigh for an extended weekend trip! The place itself felt private and was in a nice quiet area, and it was only a short drive from pretty much everything we did in Raleigh. Best of both worlds getting to enjoy being close to everything but also having a quiet place to come rest at. Everything inside was clean and exactly as described and we felt right at home. The property that this place sits on is very well kept up with, beautiful backyward waterfall setup and lots of flowers everywhere, it's easy to see Larry and Sandra take pride in their place! They also checked in with us upon arrival to make sure everything went smoothly, super nice folks! Thank you for letting us stay here, we really enjoyed it!

New Apt- walk to everything Rockwood
The space was very clean and well decorated. It felt peaceful and elegant. The area felt private and secure despite the proximity to a large city. It was very close to downtown as well as hiking trails. We were very happy with the rental.
