Response from VrboOwner on 7 Mar, 2026
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.

So sorry for the delayed review!! We loved this property and will definitely book again in the future! The house is charming and feels spacious with its high ceilings and great layout. The kitchen is fabulous and stocked with all of the basics as far as kitchen tools go. The bathrooms were lovely and the beds were extremely comfortable. This location is fantastic, literally around the corner from Smokestack and the Oakwood Cemetery and within easy walking distance to other excellent spots like Standard, Jolie, Oakwood Pizza Box, Crawford and Sons, Two Roosters and plenty of others. The back yard and screened in deck are amazing! We look forward to our next visit.

Perfect house within walking distance to downtown

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.

Beautiful property, excellent location

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!

Great stay in Raleigh!

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!

Perfect house & location

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!

Such a great spot!

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!!
