Roman Bediner is part of the family that owns Sunset Grove, one four-story building in Wake Forest, North Carolina, with two complete homes inside: Tessa, the lower home, and Julianne, the upper home.

Sunset Grove opened in the spring of 2024 for a simple reason. Large groups visiting Wake Forest had very few ways to stay together. Book both homes as one stay and up to 13 guests sleep under one roof, each in a real bed.

Roman and Marianna help bring Sunset Grove's family-owned hospitality to life. Roman shares practical guides for planning your visit, and Marianna is your host, helping you feel welcome before you arrive and throughout your stay.

Roman writes this blog for the people who plan group trips: family reunions, wedding weekends, game days and holidays near Raleigh. Each post answers the questions groups ask before they book.
