❤ The space ❤
"If you are anywhere close to this Airbnb, I hope you are lucky enough to book it! The views, wildlife, furnishings, and attention to detail are unbelievable! Barbara is so attentive and thinks of everything to make your visit remarkable. The house has a storybook look and mid-century modern flair. Loved the phonograph and records at dinner time, breakfast on the screen porch, or open deck with loads of birds to watch! The bed was so dreamy. I could go on and on...". ~Bridget

Charming Cabin-like Escape

This home was a cozy getaway! Well-equipped, and nestled in a serene and wooded neighborhood. Perfect for relaxation but convenient to many activities in N. Raleigh. Host was attentive and helpful.

Exceptional Family Property

We had a fantastic time with our family at the beautifully done, mid-century design home. It included all the luxuries of home and had a great coffee bar that we greatly enjoyed! Much quality time was spent on the screened in porch and deck; it too is a great space to relax and enjoy. We had our 2 year old grandson along so we were very pleasantly surprised by everything this property provided for him, pack-n-play, many toys and more. This property has the feel of being in the woods but all the convenience of the city close by. (15 min from Raleigh Durham Airport) We will definitely be staying here again!

Family Fun

This property is so lovely, charming and comfortable. Its location was perfect for us. We were able to explore a lot of the Raleigh area and visit local family. Would definitely recommend a visit to Raleigh and this house makes a perfect home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Evans

Hello! My name is Barbara, and my little guy is Dante. We are a solo duo! I have been professionally hosting and cleaning short-term rentals on and off for 15 years and have always wanted to own one. In the Fall of 2021, Dante and I went on the search for THE perfect home to share with Raleigh-bound travelers and finally found what is now The Acorn Treehouse. Through this home, I am dedicated to making a good life for my son while showing him the value of hard work mixed with love, kindness, and hospitality. We are honored to share it with you and hope that it touches your heart the same way as it does ours.
