The property was fantastic. We didn't cook there, but they had everything you needed. The beds were extremely comfortable and the primary shower was next level. I love the area. Great job.
Nice property. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nicely stocked. Living room was interesting and rear porch was very spacious with comfortable furniture. Front porch rockers were a nice touch. Would stay again.
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.
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!
The house was comfy and perfect for our size of our family. The kitchen was well equipped. It was very clean and a very charming house that has been updated but kept the charm of the house. We will be back!
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.
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!
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!
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!!
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!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Interesting decor and comfortable furniture. Great range in the kitchen. Nice screened in back deck and a relaxing front porch. We had everything we could possibly need. Stacy was easy to communicate with and was nice about accommodating a last minute request of ours.
Stacy was amazing to work with! Very helpful and communicative. The house was historic with modern amenities and so convenient. Will definitely visit again!!
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.
Really Cool Neighborhood for those that love old Urban
Property is historic and comfortable al at the same time. We had a few challenges with minor inconveniences and Stacey did her best to be responsive and helpful. We thank you so much
Perfect location for our stay. 5 minutes to the Senate Legislative Building for my son's Senate Page program. 6 minutes to amazing restaurants. Enjoyed Crawford and Sons 4 minutes and Death and Taxes - 6 minutes. The home is very well equipped. Beds comfy. A short walk to the Oakwood Cemetery with its interesting Confederate Cemetery and great walking/birding. One of my favorite VRBOs. Thanks
