This was the second we stayed there. Close to most everything you want to do in Raleigh. Walking distance to bars and restaurants. Definitely rent when ever we go to Raleigh!

Honestly, the photos don’t do this properly justice, it’s absolutely stunning. The home is so well appointed with everything you would want to relax and enjoy…I would always choose this home coming back to Raleigh. Thank you so much🙏

This house is a true Gem of Raleigh. Immediately upon entry, you are hit with the WOW factor of the colors and patterns of this historic house. The interior design is exciting to discover as you pass through the hallway into the other areas. The lighting is beautiful also. There are some incredible fixtures in the house that are emphasized by the high ceilings. The looks small from the street, but it just keeps going on and on towards the back! We enjoyed the modern kitchen and upscale appliances. It is a marvelous mixture of Victorian styles and patterns with MCM and whimsical art. Every detail is considered and I highly recommend this AirBnb!

Honestly the pictures do not do this place justice. Such a beautiful home, much larger than expected especially for a historic home. The kitchen was especially nice! Can’t beat the downtown access, all in all it was a fantastic stay

Absolutely one of, if not the best AirBnB we have ever stayed in. The host thought of everything, and I mean everything! The house was so well appointed and decorated. We just kept finding things to make our stay better. (like the kitchen faucet was touchless)! The home is very photogenic and we took tons of pictures. We can't wait to come back and stay when the weather is better and we can enjoy the backyard.

The time we spent at The Muse was a Dream! Everything and more was provided. What an amazing house! We spent hours listening to the vinyl records and reading in the back room. Great laundry facilities that were easy to use. The bathrooms were amazing. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything a chef might need: chef grade knives, cookware, dishes…everything! The house is walking distance to everything downtown: restaurants, breweries, bakeries, and shopping. We spent Christmas there with our adult children and the festive atmosphere of the house was a bonus! Darla was an amazing host, always responsive! After being on Airbnb for 13 years I can confidently say that this one is the very best!

We loved the house and felt right at home! Beautiful decor and very comfortable!! Loved the kitchen and had wonderful cooking utensils. We needed help with the dishwasher and Darla was very responsive to correct! Our favorite room was the Conservatory with large windows, plants and a turn table with a lot of albums!! We will visit again and highly recommend this home!! Thank you!
