Wonderful Visit! 
The breakfast was always wonderful! Doris is a great cook! Gary was a wonderful host, and the beds were comfortable. They provide cookies in the afternoon. The house is charming and the neighborhood is nice. The fireplaces are a nice touch!
We will visit again.

quaint
nice typical b&b. it's pretty comfortable and staff is friendly. it's in a great location, historic oakwood and you can enjoy the lovely homes. during the holidays, you can take a holiday tour of homes and that is incredible. carolers, spiced tea, and a peek into the beautifully historic homes is a treat. it's close to downtown and you can see a few museums, the governors, home, etc. very close to excellent restaurants. enjoy the wafting smells of krispy kreme on peace street. hot donuts and coffee hit the spot!
PROS: location
CONS: nothing at all

Our Favorite B&B
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.

Great weekend getaway
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.

My home away from home.
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

Absolutely Wonderful B&B
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

Doctor's choice
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!
