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 guest house was clean and roomy. Our host thought of everything! Light switches were labeled and night lights were in the bathroom and the hallways. Kitchen was stocked with coffee and everything needed to cook light meals. Bathroom was fully stocked with all amenities, towels and a blow dryer. All questions were answered.

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!

Perfect stay

The guest house is super cute and functional for a short stay. It was a very comfortable to sleep and relax at night. Raleigh is just a short drive away, and neighbor hood is established and serene. Loved staying at Anne-Marie’s place.

Why they chose this property

Diverse, established, family friendly neighborhood on the outskirts of Raleigh, along the Neuse River basin, great wildlife and birds, beautiful tree lined streets. Quiet and away from city but close enough, plenty of restaurants and shopping just 10-15 min away. A corner bodega and 5 star taco truck is walkable.
