We loved everything about our stay! Check-in was super easy, communication was quick and helpful, and the house was absolutely beautiful. It was clean, cozy, and full of great amenities. The game room was a total highlight and so much fun! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. We enjoyed hosting you and would love for you to stay at our home again whenever you travel to Raleigh!
This house is amazing!!! Very clean and spacious and jam packed with fun. The movie theater was fantastic for watching college football and the golf simulator was a bonus. The hosts, Garrick and Sheila, were so accommodating- even adding lefty golf clubs to the house before our stay. Finally, the house is in a great location- close to food and shopping! Will definitely stay here again on our next trip back to Raleigh!

Thanks so much for choosing to stay at our home and for taking such wonderful care of it! It was a pleasure hosting you and we welcome you at our home any time your travels bring you back to Raleigh!
Just wrapped up an amazing stay at a beautiful VRBO for our NC State game weekend! We had a party of 10 family members, and the house exceeded every expectation. The facilities were top-notch — from the theatre room that made movie nights unforgettable, to the cozy fire pit where we made memories late into the evening.It truly felt like the hosts thought of everything. Every detail was considered, and they were incredibly responsive throughout our stay. The home was absolutely spectacular and made our weekend together even more special.Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us. We are ecstatic you all had a great stay! We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Once again, we had an amazing time at this property. As always, Sheila and Garrick were super helpful and prompt. The house was large enough to host my large family after the passing of my mother. We were so appreciative of the concern and condolences from Sheila and Garrick. In the house The elevator allowed my older family members to go upstairs with ease. This was one of the few properties that allowed a large gathering as long as non-overnight guests were out before quiet hours. The house had everything we needed and remains our favorite gathering space.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review and for taking such wonderful care of our home! We are always happy to host your lovely family.
The Oberlin Palais was absolutely stunning! From the front we weren't expecting the house to be as big as it was. The game room and movie theater was a huge hit! We celebrated my grandmas 93rd birthday and this was one of the few properties that didn't mind additional guests coming by and leaving. We had about 30 people and there was more than enough parking and house space for everyone to gather. Sheila was always a phone call away and helped out with every little issue. The kids loved popcorn and smores. The elevator was perfect for people who needed it. We look forward to returning again.
