Cozy Private Guest House near Neuse River, Pet-Friendly!

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 consists of 3 rooms: A comfortable front living space with small sofa, two lounging chairs, 40" flat screen SmartTV with Roku. The main sleeping area has a comfortable queen size bed and is large enough to accommodate a chest of drawers, kitchenette, small dining area and desk. A foldable cot/air mattress (double) is available for additional sleeping. For guests with dogs, you must add the pet fee when you book. 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 and 14 miles from RDU Airport.

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!

Anne Marie’s place was amazing! This guest house is well appointed, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. The back yard/garden was so nicely shaded and peaceful, too! Anne Marie was super communicative and kind. I couldn’t recommend this place any more.

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.
