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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a stovetop. There's a private patio.

We had a great experience at this property!! The host was amazing and absolutely welcoming. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed for our stay. The place was very clean and the location was perfect because we were there for an event at the Raleigh convention center, and it was about a 15 minute drive to get there. There was just enough privacy at the location and it was a short drive to all the major stores and restaurants. We will definitely book here again. The next time we need to stay in Raleigh.

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!

We loved staying at this sweet little guest house! It was the perfect base for a lot of adventuring. very quiet and calm, a great place to recharge. Bed was super comfy, shower was nice, mirror had nice lighting. we enjoyed the little breakfast nook and cooktop as well as the patio seating. Not too far from downtown raleigh and a manageable drive to chapel hill. Wifi and signal wasn’t super strong so I wouldn’t recommend trying to take a video call or anything here. we also enjoyed the village district shopping center about 15 min away. I loved seeing the little amenities for dogs tucked away.

Peaceful and pleasant

Neighborhood was in a great area. Peaceful and beautiful homes. The guest house was just the right size for both of us. The owners were amazing. Anne Marie and Tony made us feel right at home. It was evident they made an effort to offer a lot of amenities including coffee K-cups, teas, sugar and creamer. Dog bowls for food and water if needed. Even doggie treats on the counter. Bed was great, loved the blankets. Her interior decorating skills are beautiful. We LOVED the patio out back. It was so peaceful sitting out there every morning drinking our coffee and watching and listening to the birds. It is a great setting to relax. We had so much fun there enjoying the place and Anne Marie and Tony. We were sad to leave. And looking forward to our next time we can go back

Peaceful stay

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!
