Oakwood Inn Bed & Breakfast

03/26/2007 Posted by louandlouise

We love everything about this B&B. We have stayed in most of the rooms at this sweet B&B, and plan to stay in all of them sooner or later. The Murder Mystery Weekend was so much fun, and we had a lovely dinner with the cast (who stayed in character the entire time). It lasted the entire weekend.....what fun! We returned for the Candlelight Tour over the holidays and now we are booked to see the Garden Tour. We love all the breakfasts that Doris and Gary have prepared. They treat us so well.....making us feel very special. I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. We love the area since you can walk to downtown. It is just perfect, the house, the location, the meals......but mostly the innkeepers themselves.

my husband and I planned a quick getaway from our lovely two young toddlers. Our first BB experience was very pleasant; welcoming hosts, exploris, lots choices of dining, walking distance downtown, array of small shops including cafe, etc. The room was simply romantic. It was well AC'd and my husband loved it( little too cold for me). Most of all it fitted our budget and made us feel at home right away.

For the past two years I have traveled to Raleigh almost every week and when I stay over I always stay at The Oakwood Inn with Doris and Gary. It has become a wonderful second home to me with its charm from another era, wonderful breakfast where you can eat alone or sit with other guests and have engaging conversations.In the cold months I like to curl up in bed with the fireplace going and in the warmer months sit out on the front porch with Doris, Gary and other guests and have front porch picnics with wine and cheese and other fresh baked goodies and have fun friendly conversation. They go out of their way to make you feel special and whether you are a bussiness traveler or just getting away for some romance I highley recommend The Oakwood Inn. Cheri Rhodes

Pros: Romantic, Friendly , Wonderful breakfast

We had the pleasure of staying with Gary and Doris this Valentine's Weekend at the Oakwood Inn. Aside from the beautiful house, gorgeous room, and wonderful snacks and breakfasts, we were welcomed into their home and made to feel truly special. They had a wonderful Valentine's Day surprise, as Gary had arranged for a quartet to serenade us at breakfast, with a rose for each of the ladies. We were very pleased at the size of the room, the romantic colors, and inviting fireplace. Everything worked at perfectly, as we were also able to see Les Miserables while we were in town. I truly applaud Gary and Doris and the Oakwood Inn for making this Valentine's Day truly special. I assure you we will return, and would highly recommend this inn.

Pros: Wonderful Rooms, Great location, Wonderful hosts

Hosts' Gary and Doris present a beautiful hospitality with historic home in 'Old Raleigh". Take that loved one on one of the many romantic movie/dinner weekends they have available. Great way to say "thank you" to employees, friends or bonus points with your spouse!

We have been to the Oakwood Inn for a night away from the kids several evenings in the last couple of years. A great way to recharge!

Every time I visit the Oakwood Inn, Doris and Gary make me feel right at home. The breakfasts could out cook my own mother! And my room is always beautiful (I've stayed in the Linden and the Polk). Going to the Oakwood Inn is like visiting my dearest friends, they go the extra mile to make me feel welcome. Looking foward to my next visit!-Donna Lomas
