Luxury home on Lake Wheeler

KatieRating, 5 stars11 months ago
Our stay at this lake house was absolutely wonderful! The layout of the house is fantastic, providing plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind. It's impeccably clean and well stocked with everything we needed, especially the beautiful kitchen which was a joy to cook in. The master bedroom and in-law suite were both luxurious and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The outdoor space is where this place truly shines. The pool was amazing, perfect for cooling off on hot days, and the expansive outdoor area provided plenty of room for our family to play games and enjoy the sunshine. While you can’t swim in the lake, fishing and boating are great alternatives. Clare was a fantastic host—so responsive and accommodating. Overall, our family had an incredible time here and didn't want to leave! It's the perfect spot for families looking to relax and have fun together.

Lakefront Oasis in Cary! Hot tub & huge verandah

MonicaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Pamela's place in Cary was the perfect setting for our entire family of 10 (adults) to sleep, eat and play as we gathered to celebrate our son's graduation from Duke. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor spaces. The spacious main floor allowed some people to watch tv in one room while others visited in another while others could eat in the kitchen and dining room. The beds were comfortable. Pamela responded quickly to our questions. We loved the roomy patio where we had our morning coffee with a view of the lake and lots of birds. The hot tub was amazing! The kayak and canoe were a bonus and a few of us went out onto the lake. It is in a lovely neighborhood and close to Chick-Fil-A and Lucky 32 and Harris Teeter and about 35 minutes to Duke University. We would definitely recommend Pamela's place!

KaitlynRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Melissa and Paul really came through for us when we were in a pinch and needed a place to go for a couple days with our dogs. We could not have picked out a better location. The house was amazing, and the yard was everything we needed for the dogs. I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance!

Beautiful view of lake- Location

JoeRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had a fantastic stay at Christine’s Airbnb. The condo truly felt like home. The kitchen had everything we needed, the living space was comfortable, and the back patio with lake view was peaceful. We loved walking around the lake and hanging out by the pool. The condo is close to amenities and a very short drive to restaurants, cafes, and breweries in downtown Cary. I highly recommend this Airbnb and hope to stay again.

Private bath, Lake Johnson, NCSU #3

KevinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Excellent stay! It is always hard to find a convenient and affordable private room +bath, but this stay even had access to kitchen and laundry machines. Everyone was quiet and respectful during our stay. You can hear birds chirping from the trees, there are tons of nature walks and downtown is closeby.

Perfect spot to stay the night before an early flight. clean and bright, just enough room to spread out a bit and have a takeout meal at the table. It was quick and simple to get inside. I wish I'd gotten to stay longer to explore the Greenway. :)
