    The Space

    Gather indoors and out—from the golf simulator and private theater to cozy evenings around the fire pit with s’mores.

    The Oaks @ The Oberlin Palais is designed to make time together feel easy. With generous gathering areas, multiple places to relax, and thoughtful separation between shared and private spaces, the home supports both connection and comfort throughout your stay.

    A dedicated golf and multi-sport simulator offers all-weather recreation for guests of all ages, while the private theater creates a natural space for movie nights, game-day viewing, or unwinding together at the end of the day. Outdoors, the fire pit invites conversation, laughter, and memory-making—especially during cooler evenings.

    The home is accessibility-forward, featuring a private elevator, zero-entry showers, and wide circulation paths that allow guests of varying ages and mobility levels to move comfortably throughout the space. Whether you’re gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or traveling as a multi-generational group, The Oaks is designed to help everyone feel welcome and at ease.

    Well Suited For

    • Family and multi-generational stays
    • Team tournaments and sponsored event weekends
    • Church and ministry retreats
    • Executive and business trainings
    • College, alumni, and reunion gatherings
    • Medical and convalescence stays


    Important Note:

    Recreation Designed for Connection

    One of the most distinctive features of The Oaks is its dedicated golf and multi-sport simulator, designed to support connection and recreation without leaving the home.

    • Tru Golf and Multi-Sport programming
    • Options for golf, football, soccer, baseball, hockey, dodgeball, corn hole, and more
    • Indoor, climate-controlled use for year-round enjoyment
    • Easy participation for guests of varying ages and physical abilities

    Rather than serving as entertainment alone, the simulator offers a natural way for guests to unwind together, transition between activities, and share experiences across generations—whether after meetings, tournaments, travel days, or sightseeing.

    This feature is especially valued by:

    • Executive and leadership groups
    • Families and reunions
    • Team and tournament stays
    • Guests seeking flexible, on-site recreation

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.

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!

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.

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!

A Home Away From Home

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.
