Such a cozy, well-appointed place! The perfect size and location for what we needed. No need for a carâwe were walking distance from downtown Raleigh, and a quick scooter/bike ride from the bus station to get to Durham. Strolling the historic Oakwood neighborhood in the morning was lovely. Definitely check out the brunch at Longleaf Swine right on the cornerâit blew us away. We couldnât wait to get back to The Acorn at the end of a long day. And as coffee people, we especially appreciated the Aeropress in the kitchen, which allowed us to brew some of the beans we picked up at Jubala (which was an incredible local roaster and coffee shop). Would definitely book again the next time we are in the area.
We really was amazed the moment we walked through the door! We always wanted to see how it was living in a tiny house with a family. It wasn't hard to do at all! It definitely helped us with our closeness . We really enjoyed ourselves. VERY CLEAN! Thank you again.
The property itself was nice, cute space good for a solo traveller or couple. Was in need of a sweep but other than that was clean, had dishes and cutlery available, had a fridge/freezer, dishwasher. Shower was nice, had good water pressure. Bedding was comfortable!
Main issue was with communication, I had asked about checkin information the day before and day of check in, and they didnât send it until an hour after checkin time. I was pretty upset with this as normally you would receive checkin information at least a day before you are supposed to arrive and having no information other than that it would be sent to me made me worry about whether I was going to actually receive the information or if I would need to search for alternative accommodations.
The Acorn was perfect for a weekend getaway to Raleigh! It was a short walk to downtown and lots of fabulous restaurants, bars and shops. The listing was exactly as described and the host was very responsive and helpful. I am already planning a return trip with my husband :)
Perfect for an overnight stay after a concert at the PNC Arena! Lovely quiet neighborhood, near everything. House was clean and comfortable. Easy access.
