Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Wake County

The Cottage was a quaint and peaceful getaway! Private area to relax and enjoy your time. The place was very clean and had fluffy towels and a comfy bed. If you forget anything, not to worry, the cottage was stocked up with things that are commonly forgot, very thoughtful! Our host was friendly and responsive. My husband and I would love to come back and spend time at this beautiful little getaway!

Our stay at Jason and Samantha's was perfect!! I am a stickler for a clean space, and it was clean. We did not cook, but the kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to reheat our meals, prep out lunches and to eat our meals. The house was quiet, the beds were cozy and we were comfortable taking walks around the neighborhood. Check in was a breeze and the key pad was great so we never had to worry about remembering a key. Loved the carport for shade as well as for when it rained. It is definitely one of our favorite stays. I would not hesitate to recommend and I would definitely stay again if the need arose.

Best AirBnB so far. We have stayed in many places around the country and THIS HOME has been the best by far. Spotless, organized, welcoming, comfortable and perfectly located. Eric is a phenomenal host, anticipated our needs before we even asked, and was flexible to suit our travel plans. Quick to respond to any request. Everything you need is there. We plan to stay here again, even forwarded the listing to very “fussy” brother who will be visiting from Denmark. Wonderful experience, highly recommend!

This place was an absolute gem! The house is tucked away in a great neighborhood—quiet, safe, and close to everything we needed. Inside, the open kitchen and living room setup was so cozy and welcoming—perfect for relaxing or cooking a meal together. You can tell a lot of thought went into making the space feel like home. One of our favorite parts was the front porch with rocking chairs—we spent every morning out there with coffee, just soaking in the peaceful vibe. The back deck was surrounded by tall trees, which made it feel like our own private retreat. Whether you're sipping wine under the stars or enjoying the morning sun, it's the perfect spot to unwind. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

We loved Emily’s BNB. It was clean and well maintained. Everything matched as described. Emily was proactive in communication to help us easily find the cottage in the dark. The neighborhood was quite as well cute. Easy access to anywhere in the Raleigh area. We appreciated the extra little touches like filtered water, ice cube trays filled, qtips, and body wash in the bathroom. We will be back!

We had a great time at this property. The interior was beautifully done and we were very comfortable for our short stay. Would definitely come back if we’re in the area again.

Enjoyed our stay! House was the perfect size for a family of four. Property & amenities were just as described in the listing. Simple check-in/out process. Will stay again if the opportunity arises.

Nerissa’s place is charming and clean. And convenient to everything. We were in town for a wedding and the location was in the middle of everything we had to do. The yard is beautiful with a fire pit we never had the opportunity to use. We would love to stay here again. Thank you Nerissa for sharing your lovely home. We highly recommend this beautiful home.

Great location, close to restaurants and a grocery store. Very functional little kitchen. Comfortable bed with effective A/C unit. Very clean space with a big TV and airbnb specific Netflix account. Bob was very polite on the phone and easy to reach.

Emily’s home was bright, comfortable, and set in a beautiful, leafy neighborhood filled with trees and gardens. The setting was peaceful and quiet, yet just a pleasant 15-minute walk from downtown Durham’s vibrant mix of restaurants, cafés, and bars. A perfect introduction to Durham’s relaxed and welcoming vibe.

The place was clean and comfortable... in great location for what we needed. A couple of suggestions: the address from Minerva is near impossible to find... only way we knew where to go was from the picture. Parking in rear was great, but should be explained on site how to get there. Also... if you want us to recycle... you need to provide a recycle bin in kitchen in addition to trash. Would stay here again.

Great spot to stay. Very close to downtown. I was taking Lime scooters in to a conference and was there in 5-10 minutes. Apartment was clean and looked just like the pictures

Great one-bedroom spot just a block from Transfer food hall and Burial. Perfect for a 2-person weekend stay. Plenty of street parking in the area but not even needed since there's a driveway for one car! Occasional road noise overnight, but there's a sound machine provided to drown it out.

Amazing experience! One of the best locations and felt very safe and quiet. Within walking distance to a few spots and a lot of street parking since we had a rental car. The place was extremely clean, spacious, and cool. We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks! Would highly recommend!

Awesome stay. Highly recommend! Great communication. Clean property!

truly dedicated to the craft of hosting. I've never come across someone who takes as much pride as Stephen does in hosting. The space was extremely charming, and Stephen is a fantastic communicator. I took time to read a section of his memoir, dedicated to his experience with hosting. I was enamoured with the humour and heartfelt experiences that seem to crop up when one runs such a unique and compelling place to stay. I will certainly be back if I find myself in need of a place to stay in Durham again.

This was absolutely perfect. Only bummer was we couldn't stay as long as we'd hoped and it was super rainy so we didn't get to swim much. overall an excellent stay, will definitely be back!

My daughter and I stayed here for nearly a week when a ballet intensive brought us to the area. Could not ask for a better location! And the place more than met my expectations. Lois communicated well from the time I booked until the time we checked out. It was peaceful and I appreciated the proximity to everything (trails, stores, restaurants). Would not hesitate to stay here again!

A great place to stay, just to enjoy the place and its surroundings or to enjoy Cary town amenities, Chapel Hill, or other communities. The additional stuff was awesome too, including the shampoo and conditioner, first aid kits, soaps, detergent for dishes and clothes, etc. Oh, and an umbrella also that saved my hair from the raindrops a few times. Loved this place!

Wonderful, quiet, charming, relaxing space in a quiet neighborhood. Convenient location. Will stay again!

The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. The neighborhood is close to many shops and restaurants. The host was very friendly and extremely quick to respond to any questions.

What we were looking for. Near my grandsons graduation venue, private, and clean.

The home was beautiful and had a lot of space. It was just two of us, but we could have easily split it with at least two more people. We especially loved the lake view patio. We enjoyed our morning coffee out there every morning as well as a few night caps. It was so peaceful. Jim was very easy and quick to communicate with. We would definitely stay there again.

Great stay! Clean and comfortable. Close to walking trail, restaurant and bars. Look forward to staying again.
