We enjoyed our stay in Ellen's bungalow and will definitely stay there on future visits to Raleigh. Everything was as listed in her description with a fully stocked kitchen where I was able to cook a family dinner!

The house appeared as listed. It is located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of room for a family to enjoy. Our family enjoyed our short stay there, and it is conveniently located to Durham and many local attractions in the Raleigh area.

The house was as described and very clean. We had everything we needed and the host Ellen, added touches that made our stay great. We traveled with our dog and she had supplies to make his stay great too. Check in and check out were a breeze and Ellen was available if we needed her. Would stay here again.

Owner bends over backwards to make your stay comfortable. Great communication. Location right in the heart of a quiet neighborhood near NC State and Meredith College. Would definitely recommend this home for those traveling with fur babies.

Ellen was a great host! She communicated helpful details about check-in, which was super easy; and also about the history of the home. Our pup enjoyed being able to join us on this trip, and Ellen was very welcoming of him, as well! Neighborhood was quiet, woodsy, and we were able to enjoy a quiet walk in the morning— Thanks for a great stay in Raleigh!

We stayed here with our dog over a weekend when attending my son's graduation from NC State. The house had everything we needed and is located in a wonderful, quite neighborhood, yet was a short drive to everything, including the University and great restaurants. Ellen was very accommodating, even supplying us with pancake mix, eggs and bacon for breakfast. We will definitely be back!!

My boyfriend, mom, dad and I stayed here for NC State's Family Weekend and it was perfect! My parents got there before us and they said check in was very easy. The house had everything you could need and was very close to campus. Our favorite part was the outdoor patio and sitting out there and drinking coffee in the morning. Thank you so much Ellen!

I love the 1950’s architecture of this home. It has everything you would need to just relax (the patio is lovely). The location is super convenient to about all areas of Raleigh. It was uncanny that almost everything we mapped was just a 10 minute drive. Great neighborhood. Highly recommend

We refugeed while our house was renovated and painted. Ellen was an amazing host! The house is fun to stay, the neighborhood is beautiful. We found a nearby house with two redwoods! Very convienient to food and shopping. Thanks! Ellen!

The bungalow was perfect for a short business trip - it was clean and stocked with everything that was needed. I was surprised to find a printer and hookups for an external keyboard & mouse, which was perfect for laptop users. It was under 15 minutes from RDU and Downtown Raleigh, and in a upscale neighborhood. The property manager went out of her way to make sure everything was provided, including firewood for an outdoor fire pit! It was a great and spacious alternative to a hotel, and a better value.

I stayed at a VRBO so I could bring my pet on a 3 night work trip and this house was my best option! It is a great location, has quite the 1950s decorative taste, and a very comfy queen bed. I didn't do any cooking, but everything you would need is present. The owner even had 2 sampler boxes of tea, creamer and coffee, and eggs from her very own chickens! If it had been warmer the outdoor patio looked swell! Thanks so much!

I love the location of this home, which was convenient for us. The house itself is unique and the whole 50's mid-century modern was very cool. The down side is the home needs a bit of upkeeping/touch-ups throughout. Everything was in working order, yet some updates to furniture would make this place a 5 star. Also a big plus was being pet friendly. Ellen was very pleasant and immediately available.

Overall, I cannot recommend the property highly enough. Everything as described, and more. We had eggs, bacon, pancake mix and coffee fixin's provided. The TV with ROKU allowed us to watch anything we wanted when we were there. Indoor and outdoor spaces were thoughtfully appointed, and the location could not be beaten: quiet neighborhood but absolutely close to everything. There was tons of info about the area provided. This is a MUST STAY with a great host/steward of the historic house and certified natural habitat surrounding it.

I absolutely loved this property. Mid-century is my favorite architectual style, and having this beautiful and authentic home to enjoy was a wonderful experience. The surroundings were magical. Watching baby bunnies, birds, and chipmunks happily play in the protected area that surrounds the home was a perfect way to enjoy the floor to cealing windows. Learning the history of how the home was conceptualized and who designed it made the stay even more special. The home has a lot of original features, but that is part of the charm. The neighborhood offered many more mid-century homes and lovely streets to get lost in while enjoying the trees. Would stay here again.

I had two dogs with appointments at NCS veterinarian school. The host accepts two dogs of any size or weight without an extra charge. This is almost impossible to find a rental that accepts two dogs of any weight. The host was so helpful when one of my dogs got sick while staying there. I don’t know what I would have done without her kindness and support. I total agree with her comment to me that her rental is the “Ronald McDonald house” of NCS vet school.

It was our 1st time in Raleigh and couldn't have been more pleased with our location. We were close to shopping, restaurants and downtown. We enjoyed activities such as Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park (both indoor & outdoor art exhibits), The Drive Shack, Raleigh Market and concert at the Red Hat Amphitheater. Some of the restaurants we would recommend is Lilly's pizza, Cape Fear Restaurant, The Peddler Steak House, City BBQ (Kildaire Farm Rd, Cary), and LA Farm Bakery (NW Cary Pkwy, Cary). Thank you Ellen for being a great host. We really enjoyed the amount of indoor and outdoor space we had to spread out when we wanted to. We had everything we needed & more. The ping pong table brought back some good childhood memories for me & now my daughters say we need one. ❤️

This was an opportunity to experience a home designed by the internationally known architect, Eduardo Catalano. His innovative ideas were incorporated into this design, which was quite a departure from the typical dwelling of its time.
