About this property

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.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a desk. Housekeeping is available on request.

This property is very clean and cozy. Everything was as stated in the posting. I was gone quite a bit so I didn’t get a chance to take advantage of the patio. My hostess Anne-Marie was available to answer questions if I needed her. Things were in such order that I didn’t reach out. I arrived later than expected and she greeted me. The handbook she left was very helpful. I definitely would stay again and again!

I had a lovely stay at Anne Marie and Tony’s place. I was in town for a wedding and wanted a little getaway for myself between all the events and this was just what I needed. Quiet property, tucked away, beautiful garden to have your morning coffee, private parking, nice little kitchen. Hosts are quick to respond and very helpful! Would absolutely stay here again!
