My Sister's House
1007 Grayland St, Greensboro, NC 27408 · ★5.0 (60 reviews) · Superhost, 10 years hosting
A curated cottage named for the sisters we love
My Sister's House is a tribute to Joy's sister Wendy and Eric's sister Sonya, and to every sister ours by choice. This revitalized 1949 cottage blends mid-century charm with modern comfort: a chef-ready kitchen with terracotta cabinets and a classic red stand mixer, a cozy living room with a pink velvet sofa, and two serene bedrooms each with a queen memory foam bed and Smart TV.
Step outside to the covered patio with a small gas grill, or relax in the fully fenced backyard, shaded by a giant Pin Oak and perfect for pets and kids. A dedicated workspace makes this a comfortable base for remote work as well.
What's here
Every stay is turned over with low-odor, fragrance-free cleaning products and 100% cotton linens, never synthetic air fresheners or heavily scented sprays. Here's why that matters for guests with fragrance sensitivities or migraines.

Help us take care of this home
This is a well-maintained home and we want to keep it that way. If anything breaks, runs low, or needs attention during your stay, please tell us right away rather than leaving it for the next guest to discover. We work with a trusted roster of local, non-corporate preferred vendors for repairs and upkeep, and quick reporting helps us keep response times fast.
Frequently asked questions
Is My Sister's House pet friendly?
Yes, up to 2 well-behaved pets at $25/pet/night, with a fully fenced yard. See the Pets section above for cat disclosure and ESA details.
What are the check-in and checkout times?
Self check-in between 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM; checkout before 10:00 AM. Early/late access is $50 for up to 2 hours, subject to availability.
Is there EV charging?
No dedicated EV charger on site. There's a standard interior Level 1 (120V) outlet, and guests parked close enough have run their own extension cord out to their car. Bring a cord long enough for your parking spot and compatible with your vehicle if you'd like to charge.
Why do nightly prices change so much?
Our rates adjust with demand the same way hotel rooms and airline seats do. Read why we use dynamic pricing and why it's standard practice even for small, local hosts.
Neighborhood: Idlewood, aka Midtown Greensboro
Just minutes from downtown, UNCG, and Cone Hospital, Idlewood blends tree-lined residential streets with easy access to the Downtown Greenway trail system. Local favorites like Deep Roots Market and House of Health are part of everyday life here. Read our full Idlewood neighborhood guide, or see why Greensboro should be your next home.
Short-term, mid-term, or traditional? Also great for corporate housing
My Sister's House works well as a short vacation stay, a home base for a UNCG or Cone Health visit, or a corporate housing solution while a relocating employee, traveling nurse, or contractor searches for something more permanent. If you're weighing a short-term rental against a mid-term or traditional lease, our breakdown of STRs, MTRs, and traditional 12-month leases lays out the differences, and this comparison of long-term vs. short-term rentals in 2026 can help you decide what fits your situation.
