Vacation rentals in Umstead Park Lake

Cozy with Character. Lots of space, for up to 4 people. Felt right at home. Location is good. Village District has great restaurants. We tried a few of the recommendations. Safe location, we ran/walked the area between 6-7a. No issues. Water pressure (big for me) was GREAT! Quick hot water. Beds & pillows (subjective) for us, very comfortable. The 1/2 bath, downstairs, great idea! Dont have to go up/downstairs to use the bathroom. Heres my "character" - its an older home (but nicely updated) and has WOODEN FLOORS. So, if youre a lite sleeper, the floors upstairs creak. Once someone goes to the bathroom, you might wake up. Also, heard the train, in the distance, but it didnt affect us. Its a duplex, so you might hear the neighbor (music) from time to time. It wasnt a nuisance. NOTE - If youre under 5'0", getting in & out of bed is a bit of a challenge. Hosts were very responsive. If were ever in Raleigh, we will def stay here again. 🤙

We rented this home because my son was getting married at The Barn at Valhalla, 2.5 miles away. The photos in the listing were beautiful but the home is even more beautiful in person. It was perfect for my family. I added an extra day and I'm so glad we did so that we could decompress after the festivities and sit on the wonderful porch and enjoy the picture perfect view. We even had some deer join us. You will not be disappointed in this home or this host. Thank you, Heather.

We have stayed at the farm three times now, and we absolutely love it. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful. Our kids love having the ability to play in the backyard, or down by the pond, or take a hay ride, or just run wild! The owners are so sweet and accommodating. Getting to grab your own eggs from the chicken coop is an added plus!

Renee’s place is a good mind. We stay with her each year around the same time and her place never fails to come in clutch! It gives you vibes of Nanna’s/Grandma’s place; and not in a negative way! This place makes you feel right at home like you belong. For the most part, each year we visit we are pretty much in the house enough to rest our bones and get ready for our next adventure; however, the space is simply amazing. Especially the front and back yard. There is plenty of space for the whole family and it is in a nice quiet neighborhood. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend; Lol, just not on the days I stay because this is my go to spot!!

Beautiful place. Very clean, easy access, great instructions for checking, and host is very responsive ! Enjoyed our stay.

Natalie was the perfect host from the beginning to the end. She responded quickly to any concerns or questions we had. The location was in a quiet and rural area, but close and convenient to shopping and dining facilities. The house itself was clean and comfortable, with all needed amenities provided. The game room and large back yard were bonuses for when the grandchildren visited. We highly recommend Natalie’s place and look forward to returning! Thank you, Natalie, for taking such good care of us!

Beautiful home and perfect for a girls night/weekend! We really appreciated all of the details in each room; you can really tell how much thought and creativity went into the space. The backyard landscaping is also adorable! I put 4/5 stars because when combined with the cleaning fee, it felt expensive for one night. BUT I think many would argue that it’s worth it; especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion- which we were. We willingly spent on what we know we deserved 💅

Extremely cute and cozy cabin. Loved the screened porch and connect 4 game! Very comfy bed and couch to watch TV. Kitchen and baths well stocked with necessities and many extras. Close to I-95 but far enough away to feel secluded. Perfect stop if traveling to Florida.

Terrific hosts. Very friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely rent from them again. Thank you to Daisy and the entire team.
