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!

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!!

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!

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!

Historical Gem

The integrity of restoration is excellent. Modernization where needed ( bath, kitchen and outdoor space). Very comfortable for lounging and sleeping! Excellent water pressure and temperature control also. We spent time on porch and very friendly neighbors. There is an excellent neighborhood restaurant at end of block. What a gem for a long weekend!

Absolutely AMAzING

WOW.. this place was amazing. We were down to Raleigh for an appointment at NC state for a sick puppy and I found this home ( that allows dogs) and was so happy. Close to everything we needed! The communication from the very start was on-point! I asked a million questions, (even down the what type coffee pot was there... as we all know coffee is a must lol) and the response time was within minutes! This continued through out our stay! Now let's talk about the home. WOW WOW WOW WOW. I fell in love the moment we pulled up! The design and colors were amazing, and the layout was perfect! The home was spotless and everything was there that we needed, even down to the Doggie poop bags! The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were so neat and gosh the dinning room was perfect for working while waiting for the Puppy! I wish it was warm enough to enjoy the back screened in porch, and wish we could have walked the neighborhood, next time for sure! We even got to meet the gentleman who grew up in the home. Said he lived there in the 50's! We will return to the home to fully enjoy the area!!! Thank you for being amazing hosts and we love your home!
