Raleigh Mill House

Raleigh Mill House was the perfect place for us for a long weekend visiting family in Raleigh! Great walking neighborhood with everything we needed:Walgreens, Florist shop, brewery, and the best pizza (Lilly's) The house is certainly whimsical! Very comfortable. However, the light switches should be labeled ( some didn't function). And we didn't realize the upstairs bedrooms had only curtains and not doors (which did not impact our stay). We will stay again if we have another family gathering in Raleigh!

Thanks for the kind words, Anne. You make a good point about the labels. We try not to have lots of signs and labels everywhere because it tends to distract from the overall feel of the house, but we definitely want to balance that with ease/comfort for our guests. I hope we can host you again soon!

Fun and comfortable home!

Whimsy is exactly what you’ll get with this home! Definitely an interesting layout that had us asking a lot of questions! The house is quirky, but clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. The owners were absolutely fantastic with accommodating us and our last minute reservation due to VRBO double booking issue with another host. So responsive and kind—we could not have asked for better hosts! Location was great with walkable stores and restaurants. Street was quiet and private. Perfect girls’ weekend for myself and friends!
