Notes from the host
Mountain Vibes
Keep it simple at this extremely peaceful yet centrally-located home away from home. You'll feel the stress melt away as you travel down the gravel road to get to your half of this secluded ranch style duplex. Stare out into the pond as you sip on your coffee and take in the sounds of nature. You'll feel as if you're far from town but you are actually pretty central to Raleigh, Wendell, Knightdale and Zebulon.
Located less than a mile from the sprawling Wendell Falls mega neighborhood, this listing is for one half of a townhouse style duplex known as Hidden Pond Lodge.
They say that the Greater Raleigh area is a really cool spot because you are "about 2 hours from the beach, and 2 hours from the mountains..." SO we took that idea and ran with it! We decorated and furnished this western side of the duplex with "Mountain Vibes" in mind, featuring an array of NC locally sourced decor and artwork reminiscent of a cabin you may find in Asheville, Brevard, or Boone. The other side, respectively, has a "Beachy Getaway" theme, and it looks like a beach cottage with notes of Carolina Beach, The Outer Banks, or Emerald Isle.
NOTE: This property requires a $300 Security Deposit, a Separate Traveler Agreement, and your government-issued ID. More info below, and in the house rules.
You will find plenty of room to stretch out in the living room with two full sized sofas. This unit has 3 good sized bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed and closet space for storing your clothes/items. With 2 full bathrooms, your whole crew will stay out of each other's way. The fully stocked kitchen is equipped with everything you need if you feel like staying in and cooking a meal, and a dishwasher to ease the pain of cleanup. The Eat-in kitchen has a pub style table with seating for 4.
The master bedroom has an ensuite (private bathroom) with a spacious shower with an assortment of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
Newly updated and painted home with a covered porch to relax and enjoy some well deserved quiet time! Rustic mountain-themed rooms with new beds, kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to make this your family's favorite place to stay in the Raleigh area.
Over 2 acres of Waterview land near a tiny hidden unnamed pond that we can look at but can't access. Amazing Views and feel for being less than 2 miles from Publix and other shopping.
It's a Perfect Location to literally get away from it all, and people keep telling us "This place is so peaceful!"
We have a Large Smart TV with Roku, so you can watch NETFLIX, YouTube, Prime Video, Hulu, and more. Free Wi-Fi included!
We are within a few miles of local restaurants and grocery stores, and other attractions, but it feels like you are miles away from regular civilization.
