This was our second stay and it was great. Beautiful, comfortable home in the best location . Great kitchen for cooking and having dinner with a group. The fenced in back yard and screened in back porch are the perfect spot for relaxing and our bulldog loved being able to run around. We definitely will book again for our next trip to Raleigh!
Beautiful house, fully equipped for everyone. Love the kitchen and stove! Just as described and host was very attentive! Had a great stay in Raleigh, home was close to great restaurants and shops
The house is amazing! Very clean, stylish and comfortable. The kitchen is great to cook in; well stocked with all the kitchen tools we needed.The fenced in backyard was great for our pup and the house is within walking distance to downtown and other fun areas to explore! We have booked again for our next visit to Raleigh!
Thank you! I am so happy that you enjoyed the home and your stay! We appreciate you choosing to stay with us, and hope to have you back again in the future!
Very nice place in a great location. Wonderful kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. Cute outside porch. It was a bit hard to get responses to questions although answered ultimately The oven did not work, there was no soap in guest bath. Overall lovely, would go back.

Thank you for your review Richard. Although I don’t feel like it’s truly accurate you ask for an early check out stay and we couldn’t answer you until we knew the schedule. Also, we did respond to you with any other questions you may have. The only thing is the parking situation is clearly in the listing that there’s a driveway and there’s free street parking. I don’t know why that question was asked as everything is detailed in the listing. Also, we made an exception for a one night stay which we never do so the fact that we got a four star after making accommodations for you to get in early stay one night and leave late truly does not reflect the true review that should’ve been for this house as we went over and above for your stay.
Extremely easy checking process. And very easy checkout- didnt have a 10 page process like some other rentals. Lol. Nice to have room for 1 car in the driveway. Perfect backyard for dogs. Cute screened in porch. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Pretty quiet and nice to have an easily adjusted thermostat. Good location and lots of restaurants close to drive to.
The property was fantastic. We didn't cook there, but they had everything you needed. The beds were extremely comfortable and the primary shower was next level. I love the area. Great job.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Interesting decor and comfortable furniture. Great range in the kitchen. Nice screened in back deck and a relaxing front porch. We had everything we could possibly need. Stacy was easy to communicate with and was nice about accommodating a last minute request of ours.
Great, clean and comfortable home. We will definitely rent again.

We loved our stay. The house is very clean and everything looks new. The location is very convenient, we walked downtown for lunch. There is even a cute restaurant about 3 houses away. We enjoyed our stay with friends and will stay again the next time we are in Raleigh. The host was very nice.

We loved our time at the Historic Oakwood Hideaway. The house is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. Our family of four plus dog were very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the screened in porch was a great space for relaxing. The neighborhood is great for dog walking. We were in town to visit NC State, and the house is just a few miles away from campus, as well as great restaurants and shopping. Thanks for a great stay at this wonderful property!
We love everything about this home - location in historic oakwood in downtown Raleigh, the backyard, the screen room, the layout of the home , remodeled bathrooms and comfy beds. It is a great neighborhood for walking and close to everything downtown but in a quiet residential neighborhood. Be sure to check out some of the local restaurants and coffee shops!

We loved it so much we asked to stay a second time while visiting NC and Stacy was happy to accommodate us, on short notice. We always appreciate a great location and this is one, as I’ve already said in my earlier review. We also love working with a great host and Stacy is superb! Makes all the difference and is so appreciated.
The house was charming & in a great location! Stacy stayed in touch to make sure that everything was ok; I had to reach out on Friday night because one of the smoke detectors starting chirping- Stacy sent her helper over & Luis fixed the problem! The beds were super comfortable & the master shower was incredible. We would definitely love to stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and Stacy was very helpful and lovely to work with. The home is warm and cozy, conveniently located close to some great restaurants that are within walking distance of the property. It has lots of cute and warm touches and we felt like we were in our home away from home. Also loved hanging on the front and back porches and spending time with the neighbor boss cat, Henry. The historic homes around the property are also a draw and a walk in the cemetery proved to be interesting and enjoyable too. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!
