Historic Oakwood was such a lovely neighborhood to stay in. We wandered the cemetery with downtown views and Arboretum status in addition to all the history. The cemetery office gave us a brochure of the homes and histories of the Oakwooneighborhoodtheitself!dWcookemeals

Great place to stay in Raleigh

We loved this house! It provided everything we needed in a great location. We were close to our work conference downtown and all the local neighborhoods we wanted to visit. Great communication & responsiveness from the hosts, home is filled with nice touches and thoughtful details (the shower is especially great), and our dogs loved the fenced-in backyard. Highly recommend!

Adorable, great little neighborhood

We really enjoyed this cute little bungalow. Very comfortable furnishings and we sat on the deck under the string lights and played board games as a family. I made a mistake with the reservation and the property manager was so gracious and understanding! Definitely recommend this property!

Well managed and cozy

The hosts did a great job communicating info about the property via emails several days before the trip. The check in and check out process was easy, clear, and made sense (I’ve stayed at other properties where these can be quite confusing). The place was clean and comfortable and has less common amenities like a heated towel bar and a pack and play. The home is within walking distance of a good bar/restaurant, coffee shop, and park. Great place.

This place was so easy to find and well equipped for our stay. Our pup was able to go outside safely in the fenced yard. My wife was able to cook a full meal with no issues, and instacart delivered very quickly in the area. We look forward to a possible future booking at this location.

Nice location, great little deck and fenced in yard.

Stay was great. felt nice and clean inside. On this trip we actually purchased a dining room table and 6 chairs to bring back home. It was convenient to have a small carport out back under which we could store the furniture. Nice Mexican restaurant, coffee shop, and a park within an easy walk. We hope to return next time we're working up in Raleigh.
