About this cottage rental

Your own private cottage awaits just a 0.5 mi. WALK to downtown Wake Forest! You’ll be close to coffee, restaurants, breweries, boutiques, and seasonal events—all while enjoying the privacy and quieter pace of the Historic District.

Newly renovated from top to bottom, the cottage combines a fresh, modern interior with yesterday's character. Relax in comfortable spaces inside or unwind beneath the trees on your own private deck.

Step inside, and you'll find this cottage completely reimagined—fresh, stylish, and full of character. Everything's conveniently located on one level, so settling in is easy—no hauling luggage up and down a ton of stairs! With two bedrooms, including a welcoming king bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with character and built-in Bluetooth, high-speed Wi-Fi, and inviting living spaces, you'll have everything you need to feel comfortably at home between each day's adventures.

Out back, you'll find The Tree House Deck—your private outdoor retreat. Start the day with a quiet cup of coffee, gather for dinner after exploring, or end the evening with a glass of wine as the trees sway. Whether you're planning tomorrow's adventures or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it's the perfect place to slow the pace and enjoy the good life.

Come and go with the convenience of free on-site parking or leave the car behind and walk just 0.5 mi. to downtown for coffee, dinner, breweries, boutiques and seasonal events. Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and Judson College are even closer—just a 0.3 mi. walk from the cottage. (No coincidence there—the cottage was originally built as Wake Forest College housing.)

And Falls Lake and the best of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill are all within easy reach.

"Clean and Cozy: This home was a great little place for my husband and I to stay while in Wake Forest. It is well equipped, comfortable, and conveniently located near shopping and dining. The neighborhood is lovely. We traveled with our e-bikes and rode to and through Joyner Park several times. We also rode the Neuse River Greenway Trail which is close by. We will absolutely stay in the Cottage on The Corner when we return to Wake Forest."
