The space
Those who are looking for a very clean, quiet, yet downtown atmosphere, kitchenette style private Suite, this may be the perfect place for you :) Professionaly run, The Gadabout Guest House and Inn is an excellent choice for extended stays!
Location is fantastic, right in the heart of Downtown WF. It is an easy walk to all the downtown restaurants, bars and shops with easy, in and out onsite parking...
Book with confidence! Named The Gadabout Guest House and Inn, The Gadabout was approved by the town of Wake Forest to become an upscale commercial Inn/Bed and Breakfast. That same timeline in 2016, Airbnb was also emerging. It was decided to offer The Gadabout Guest House listings through Airbnbs' platform and it has worked out great, both for our guests and host:)
Basecamp offers clean, quality, quiet lodging with private entrance and off-street parking. A key code 8' gated entrance leads you to a courtyard and covered stairway that takes you to "Basecamp." It is a 2nd story, private guest suite with private entrance and private covered deck area.

Other things to note
Basecamp is one of 5 upscale Suites at The Gadabout House & Inn in historic downtown Wake Forest. Due to our size we are able to move guests easily to one of our other onsite Suites if and when room availability doesn't quite fit our guests timeline. This also can happen on extended stays or when timelines extend and there is already a booking scheduled. I believe this is an asset of the Gadabout and guests seem to like that they can continue their stay here and enjoy one of our other Suites.
To view other listings you can go to The Gadabouts' host page and scroll down to where they are all listed:)
Between stays we wash not just the towels and bedding but also comforters, matress covers and throw blankets each and every time.
COVID....We use commercial steam cleaners for all floors and wipe down surfaces with approved CDC disinfectants. These cleaners are also stocked in suite and available for guests. These high standard cleaning steps have always been in practice as standard room cleaning and disinfecting at The Gadabout. We also periodically ozonate Suites.
Now back to what you would have been reading if Covid was never here:)
The HVAC Mechanical Room.
The entrance is located in Basecamp.
We have all of our units serviced regularly as recommended, but sometimes things still break. In the event a unit does go down and can not be fixed from outside, a Tech may need to access that room, typically for a short period of time. In the event that does happen, I will coordinate with the current guest ahead of time to schedule access. We stay on top of preventative maintenance, but unfortunately, they don't make things as good as they used to.View More
Amenities
The Gadabout was a perfect stay as I solo-traveled to the Wake Forest area for a weekend. The hosts are communicative, the property was unique, and the location was very close to a cute downtown. I would recommend! Great location and the house has a lot of character! This place was excellent! Cozy, comfortable, secure, peaceful surroundings, and absolutely immaculate. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Despite not having a full kitchen, the air fryer and hot plate more than made up for it. There was a full stock of utensils, pots, and pans. The shower is amazing!!!! Bed was super comfy. <br/>Walking distance to the center of town.<br/>The host went above and beyond when we discovered that we had left an item in the unit by immediately making it accessible for us to retrieve our item. <br/>A truly outstanding stay! I highly recommend this location.
