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 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.

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 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!

Wonderful and Quiet Cottage

I had a wonderful time in the cottage. It is quiet and enjoyable. The garden in the back is very peaceful, and my dog loved it there. It's in a nice neighborhood with limited noise, and would be a great place to walk your dog or enjoy the beautiful North Carolina sunsets.

FANTASTIC

I walked into the living room area and just loved it, then I went into the kitchen area/bedroom and thought this is awesome. It was so much better than a hotel. Everything was just right. Puzzles and games in the living room, kitchen had an ice maker, refrigerator, table and more, then the bed was so comfortable. The main thing is i went down by myself and I felt safe. Thank you so very much and I plan on staying here again

Good safe neighborhood

We stayed for a lacrosse tournament in the area. It was a perfect location for us and only 15 min to downtown where there is a plethora of good restaurants. Anne-Marie was very welcoming and the property is peaceful and quaint with lots of birds. Everything we needed and many extras. Anne-Marie was even so kind to share some clippings from her plants and packed them so they would make the trip back home. Much better experience than any hotel room. Thank you for sharing your home!
