About this property

Outrageous House In The Woods

No one who visits isn't left for words.. Four bedrooms, two on the main level and two up, plus four full baths make for an easy share situation for family or couples.
The house is a product of our imaginations and skill levels.

This has been our home since the early 90's. It was a bit "tired" when we bought it but we expanded as our boys grew and are happy to share the feeling of "ahhhh..." as you drive down the curvy driveway. Because we are in a neighborhood surrounded by friends of over 30 years we are really sensitive to noise limits. WE STRICTLY ENFORCE A 10:00 OUTDOOR NOISE CURFEW. We hope you understand.

The following events have minimum stays.
Spring and Fall Furniture Market 4 nights.
WFU Graduation 3 nights.
WFU Homecoming 3 nights
Thanksgiving 4 nights
Christmas 4 nights.

Our outdoor porch is a lovely place to gather. We do ask that you keep the volume low out here as the topography really makes voices travel. We are in a quiet neighborhood so we like to be respectful of our neighbors. We have a small fire pit on the porch as well. Do be careful. We have a fireplace in the living room (currently it is not operable due to chimney issues 11/2021) and wood stove in the kitchen which we have just discovered to have an issue with the chimney. Old houses!!! We have a gas grill. The yard is large and rambling. Do keep and eye on your children.


***NO WEDDINGS OR EVENTS MAY BE HOSTED HERE. QUIET FAMILIES WELCOME. THANK YOU.
***SPECIAL REQUEST: Please, no perfumes, hairspray, or scented candles indoors - homeowner is sensitive to smells. !If you must use these products, please do so outdoors. Thank you.
***We are dog friendly please ask us about our pet deposit policy.

This OUTRAGEOUS house did not disappoint!!!
We loved our stay in this house - so many visually interesting things to look at and plenty of hang out spaces for our family! It was conducive to cozy chats with little nooks and larger group fun with the rec room complete with pool table, large TV and dart board! Amazing! The owners were responsive and accommodating - we are so grateful we found this place and hope to stay again!

Family Reunion
We have family in WS but didn't want to overrun their house with 10 people and the family dog. This worked perfect, it became the meet up for Christmas Eve and Christmas celebration. Our family enjoyed this reunion which brought members spanning several generations from Miami, Atlanta, and Chapel Hill together. Susan and Jeff kept us informed of pertinent information about the house and the blistering cold front that came through that week. Highly recommend to any large group getting together in Winston Salem for Wake events or reunions.

Great Getaway in the City
Four adults had a great getaway at this truly unique property. We delighted in watching the birds from the kitchen window, grilling out on the covered porch,, curling up on the couches, and admiring the artwork in every room. We felt away from it all but only minutes away from any attraction. We’d love to learn more about the history of the house!

Amazing house
This was our second stay in this home, both occasions for a nearby swimrun race. We love this house - so much character. We had 7-8 adults and easily could have slept the full 10. Plenty of space. We cooked both meals there, and really enjoyed the outdoor covered patio area. Thank you for sharing your home. It's such a significant piece of special memories from our weekend

Host profile image
Our home is the product of who we are; an interior designer and a Realtor who wants to be an architect. Featured in Winston Salem Magazine, this 3400 s.f. (website hidden) is part log cabin and part cutting edge hi tech. Relaxing, peaceful, serene. We are in the middle of the woods yet ten minutes from downtown and a mile and a half from Wake Forest University. All mod cons including WiFi, cable, lots of parking. We built this house to relax in. We live here when not accommodating guests. We have enjoyed our experience staying in others homes around the world and thought we would share our place with fellow travelers. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!



Why they chose this property

The house and location are unique in that we are 7-8 minutes from Winston Salem's excellent and vibrant downtown and yet once you drive down the driveway you feel a million miles from its hustle and bustle.

What makes this property unique

We are located in a neighborhood called Lake of the Woods where the elite of Winston Salem built their hunting cabins in the 1930's. Our house was built as a one room log cabin by the Hanes family, of Hanes Hosiery. Many, many iterations later it is a structure that wows everyone who visits. Nearby are many restaurants, Indian, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, and several very good mid to upper level American. One note, the house has several level changes and may not be suitable for some guests. My 86 year old mother-in-law does fine but wanted to make you aware.
