Inn Details

Enjoy accommodations as comfortable, as spacious, as relaxing and as welcoming as can be. We welcome Seniors, AARP, pet lovers, handicapped, everyone. Make our vacation home your Home Base to see the entire Triangle, the coast and mtns: we're 12 miles S. of Raleigh. The house sits at the front of our 87 acre farm. The trails are, at times, rugged; you will need boots/long pants, especially if it's rained. Short paths to the farm are great for walking dogs. You may see deer, bunnies and geese come into the yard. Birdwatch, wander, meditate, yet be within walking distance of cafes and shops. You'll find world-class theater, music, and museums mins. away. We are about 15 mins to Apex/Cary, and many huge, new shopping centers, and lots of antiques. We're 5 mins to Holly Springs/the new Bass Lake Recreation and Boating facility (pet friendly). The NC Zoo is about 1 hour, and the beach in just over 2 hours. We are conveniently located 20 mins off I-40, down NC 42 (Fuquay-Varina/Clayton exit). We now book the whole house as a vacation rental home, two-night minimum. If you see no availability on some site, please call. Those sites often show no availability when there is, in fact, availabilty. The downstairs is handicapped-friendly, including the bath. 3 rooms have an oversized, deluxe Queen mattress for perfect sleep. We offer a pantry stocked with staples, coffees, teas, goodies including our fresh honey.

(Owners reserve the right to refuse service to any pet or person. We cannot accept aggressive pets of any kind. Please do not book a reservation, if you know your pet is aggressive or bites, snarls or snaps.)

Note:  Blockbuster is about 4/10 of a mile away.One of the two largest rooms, downstairs bedroom, handicapped accessible.  Has sitting area and fireplace with gas logs.  TV.  Very comfortable.  Enjoy breakfast basket delivered to your room, or have breakfast in the kitchen.  Unlimited candy jar.  24 hour coffee/tea/snacks. Private bath is down the hall.  Bath is completely handicapped friendly with pull-down seat.  Black out shades prevent sun from waking you.  Adjacent to front door, for those pet owners who wish easy access to go out.  No one else but you will use that front door, so noise is not a problem.
    This handicapped-friendly bedroom has an old-fashioned double (and very hard) bed.   This room is one of the two coolest rooms in the summer, as it is downstairs and does not get the morning sun.  It is the owner's favorite, when she wants to sleep in.  It is not "fancy" like the other rooms,  It has a closet, table and chairs, and opens into the handicapped bath.  We provide a small tv, (radio, if you like).  Closest to the kitchen, phone in room, can be taken out.  Unlimited candy jar.  Coffee/tea/snacks 24 hours.  Enjoy a breakfast basket delivered to your room, or have breakfast in various dining areas.  This room is very quiet, but it is next to the kitchen.  We make every effort to be quiet and make as little noise as possible in preparing breakfast.It's good to be Queen (or King)!  Master bedroom (mini-suite, honeymoon suite), upstairs, with private bath, sitting area, fireplace, dressing table, luxurious new bathrobes, tv with video player and selection of romantic/classic movies.  Very private, you usually have the entire floor to yourself, unless you come with family.  Coffee/tea/snacks 24 hours.  Unlimited candy jar.  Breakfast basket delivered to your room, or have breakfast one of the dining areas.  This picture does not show the large size of the room: very spacious. Bath adjacent.  Spa products, dressing area, room darkening blinds.  Our repeat guests ALWAYS choose this room.  It is the favorite of everyone who stays here.  If you have family, you share the bath, otherwise the bath is private for you.  2-person walk-in shower.
