The Space

The Oaks @ The Oberlin Palais was designed to make time together feel easy, comfortable, and memorable.

Gather indoors and out, from the warm family room with fireplace to the gourmet kitchen, generous dining and meeting spaces, private theater, golf and multi-sport simulator, game room, screened porch, outdoor dining area, and fire pit.

The home offers multiple places to gather, relax, play, work, and unwind, while still providing thoughtful separation between shared spaces and private bedrooms. Whether you are traveling with family, reconnecting with friends, hosting a retreat, attending a graduation, or gathering for a milestone weekend, The Oaks gives your group room to spread out while staying beautifully connected.

A dedicated golf and multi-sport simulator offers all-weather recreation without leaving the home, while the private theater creates a natural place for movie nights, game-day viewing, or winding down after Raleigh events and adventures. The game room and life-size magnetic tic-tac-toe wall add playful moments for guests of many ages and heights, from children to athletes to multi-generational groups.

Outdoors, the fire pit and gathering areas invite conversation, laughter, s’mores, and memory-making, especially during cooler evenings.

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. The game room was a total highlight and so much fun! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone.

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!

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!

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.

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.
