The upper home, with the rooftop deck

Julianne is the top two floors and the roof: her own front door and garage, a kitchen with an island that seats five, a living room built around the fireplace, four bedrooms, and the deck above it all with cornhole and the sunset. Seven people sleep here in five real beds.

The climb is real and we say so. Two flights to the living floor, one more to the bedrooms, then the roof. One guest counted 33 steps to the main floor. What is waiting at the top is why groups book her.

Who Julianne is for. The family that wants the view, the work trip that needs the desk for two, and the group that will spend every evening on the roof.

How the homes fit together

Julianne and Tessa share one building and one address, with two front doors side by side. Book Julianne on her own for up to seven, or book Sunset Grove and the whole building is yours.

Good to know

  • Check-in is self-entry at 4pm or later. Check-out is by 10am.
  • The stairs, honestly. Julianne is the third and fourth floors. Two interior flights to the living room and kitchen, one more to the bedrooms and bathrooms, and one more to the roof. One guest counted 33 steps to the main floor. Not the home for anyone who finds stairs hard.
  • Quiet hours run 10pm to 8am, on the roof too.
  • No smoking of any kind. Smoking inside carries a $500 fee.
  • Registered guests only inside the home, for insurance reasons. Message us in advance if you would like visitors.
  • Cameras outside only at the front door and the garage door. None inside, ever.
  • A local chef cooks for our guests at a discounted rate. Booked separately, not part of the stay. Ask us and we will introduce you.

"The facility is well located, it is beautifully apportioned and very clean. There were some concerns with the stairs, but others saw it as an opportunity to get some exercise :-) Overall, a very positive experience and we would stay there again.

"We had a great 5-night stay at Marianna's place. It is a very spacious townhouse, spotless, beautifully furnished, supplied with everything we would have needed, felt just like home. Lots of stairs, but that didn't bother us, in fact it was a positive, meaning no units above, and great views. The..."

"Great stay and minutes from everything. Yes, there are quite the amount of stairs to climb up, and for older folks or ones that have challenges it would be very difficult but for us it was good exercise. This place was extremely clean, and while things are new in the home, you can see that it's..."

The Location

Groceries across the street, downtown five minutes away

The house is part of Grove 98, with Wegmans directly across the street and Torchy's Tacos, CAVA and a row of cafes all inside a mile walk of the front door. Downtown Wake Forest is five minutes by car and Polar Ice House is three. When the occasion is in Raleigh, or the group flies in, RDU, NC State and the Lenovo Center are each about half an hour.
