We had a wonderful stay! The house was super clean and comfortable. Great kitchen with ample cooking supplies and nice laundry room. Beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood was friendly and walkable. We liked the outside space and fenced in yard for our dog. The host even had dog bowls. We would absolutely stay here again.

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.

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!

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 host whon as very accommodating!

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.

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!!

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!

4th of July Weekend in Raleigh

We’ve stayed in a number of VRBOs over the years, but this one ranks up there as one of my all-time favorites. The house itself was very well equipped from great linens and towels to a well stocked kitchen. The location was ideal and just a short mile walk/Uber to downtown area. All the above with the added benefit of a professional, kind and responsive host. Can’t go wrong with this one!

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.
