Cozy Private Guest House near Neuse River in Raleigh, Pet-Friendly! Premier Host
Just on the outskirts of town is a quiet neighborhood near the Neuse River and Buffaloe Athletic Park. Willow Creek Guest House, a private apartment just off the main house, was established in March 2023. We are on just over an acre of yard, gardens and trees with plenty of open space.
The guest house is ideal for 1-3 people. It consists of 3 rooms: A comfortable front living space with comfy full size sofa, two lounging chairs, 40" flat screen SmartTV with Roku; the main sleeping area has a comfortable queen size murphy bed and is large enough to accommodate a chest of drawers, fully equipped kitchenette, small dining area and desk (a foldable cot/air mattress (double) is available for additional sleeping); a comfortable bathroom with accessible step in shower and most necessities. For guests with dogs, you must add the additional pet fee of $20 per dog when you book. We offer a fully fenced back yard of gardens, lined by woodlands, great for wildlife and birds! Dogs: We have 2 small dogs so we ask guests to keep their dogs leashed when they are sharing the yard. Dog bowls, leashes and treats are made available for your fur-babies.
Willow Creek Guest House is 6 miles from downtown Raleigh, 8.5 miles from NC State University, 14 miles from RDU Airport and 14 miles from downtown Wake Forest.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
It was a good place to stay. Liked having a living area away from sleeping area. Was very clean
Great experience from placing the reservation to checkout! Quiet ocation was perfect for easily getting around Raleigh while visiting friends in the area. Communication was great and hosts were more like old friends. We definitely recommend this A guest cottage!
This was a great location in a very nice walkable neighborhood-very neat and clean with everything we needed. We appreciated that it was pet friendly with a big yard for our dog to wonder. The owners were super friendly & responded quickly to any questions we had-we will definitely be back again!!
We loved staying at this sweet little guest house! It was the perfect base for a lot of adventuring. very quiet and calm, a great place to recharge. Bed was super comfy, shower was nice, mirror had nice lighting. we enjoyed the little breakfast nook and cooktop as well as the patio seating. Not too far from downtown raleigh and a manageable drive to chapel hill. Wifi and signal wasn’t super strong so I wouldn’t recommend trying to take a video call or anything here. we also enjoyed the village district shopping center about 15 min away. I loved seeing the little amenities for dogs tucked away.

We are so happy to know you enjoyed your stay. If only you had let us know about the Internet, we simply would’ve reset the router. Generally, we have excellent connection. We hope you come back again!
I stayed here during Christmas so I could visit my daughter and her family. This was my second time here and I will go again. It is so comfortable, easy to get to but more important I feel safe there. I would totaly recommend!
Very quiet surroundings and easy travel to downtown Raleigh. The bed and furniture were just perfect in an extremely clean and nicely decorated guest house to make for a relaxing getaway. Looking forward to a return visit.

Thank you so much. We look forward to your return!
The guest house is super cute and functional for a short stay. It was a very comfortable to sleep and relax at night. Raleigh is just a short drive away, and neighbor hood is established and serene. Loved staying at Anne-Marie’s place.
This was a great place to stay for a few weeks. Enough space to get work done and relax. It is up-to-date, clean and close to the greenway and aquatic center. Definitely recommended!
The property was in a great community. It was not far at all from downtown ! We throughly enjoyed our stay & we will 100% be rebooking here for our annual trip !

Why they chose this property
Diverse, established, family friendly neighborhood on the outskirts of Raleigh, along the Neuse River basin, great wildlife and birds, beautiful tree lined streets. Quiet and away from city but close enough, plenty of restaurants and shopping just 10-15 min away. A corner bodega and 5 star taco truck is walkable.
