About this property

This house is a 4 bedroom 2 bathrooms, located in Raleigh, NC.

Beautifully renovated with its original charm, this North Carolina historic landmark, the “Delany House”, is the perfect place to take in the best of Downtown Raleigh. It’s a 15-minute walk or minutes drive to outstanding restaurants, museums, coffee shops, parks, Red Hat Amphitheater, the Merrimon-Wynne wedding venue, and so much more.

And it’s equipped with the latest in technology: Fiber WIFI, smart TVs and streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime.

We live in the neighborhood and are here when you need us. It's easiest to reach me on my cell or through the app. Thanks!

Staying in a downtown Raleigh neighborhood means that you will experience a diverse area with all kinds of wonderful people -- black, white, hispanic, LGBTQ, young professionals, families with kids, and elderly people who's kin settled here in the early 1900's.

Our own family has lived in this neighborhood for 15 years, and we love it! We raise our young children here, and have lots of different kinds of friends.

While certainly urban in nature, the neighborhood is considered quite safe.

If you're looking for a vibrant community with a mishmash of people, housing and places to visit with-in a 15/20-min walk, this is a great neighborhood for you. If you're someone who's intimidated by an urban feel with the occasional gritty street corner or wayward drifter, trying another part of Raleigh might be best.

We took careful detail to restore the beauty of the “Delany House”, while adding all the comforts of modern living: spacious kitchen with premium appliances and cookware, multiple smart TVs with streaming services, office space, private/fenced-in yard with grill station, al fresco dining and lounge area, and huge washer/dryer.

Pop over to one of Raleigh's neighborhood coffee shops or local hot spots — James Beard Award Winners, Ashley Christensen and Scott Crawford both have several spots nearby.

Walkable to parks and playgrounds, running/biking trails and of course, the best of Downtown Raleigh.

Our neighborhood is within immediate proximity to Downtown Raleigh’s best. It's a diverse and tight-knit community, considered the most up-and-coming in Downtown Raleigh. It’s a mishmash of all kinds of people -- young professionals, families with kids and retirees. While it is a downtown, urban community, the neighborhood is certainly considered quiet and safe. Please scroll down to read more about to neighborhood, so you know if it's right for you.

Looking to travel outside of downtown? We’re a close commute to I-440, which connects to the rest of the city and its surrounding areas, including Durham and Chapel Hill.

Parking is free, on-street, directly next to and in front of our home. We do not offer off-street parking.

In response to our reviews, we've lighted our check-out rules, so guests only strip beds and run the dishwasher. This helps our cleaning crew big time. And a new service provides ample TP, paper towels, cleaner, and soaps.


The History of our Home:
The Lemuel and Julia Delany House is significant for its association with Raleigh's Black community during the early and mid-twentieth century. Distinguished physician and business leader Lemuel Thackara Delany and his wife, Saint Augustine’s College professor Julia Delany, hosted many renowned visitors to Raleigh as either personal friends or as part of Raleigh’s “Green Book”, a network of homes offering friendly accommodation to people of color during the early/mid-century Jim Crow era.

The Delany’s hosted legendary artists, musicians, dignitaries and intellects, such as jazz musicians Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway, opera great Marian Anderson, actor Paul Robeson, and activist sociologist and founder of the NAACP, W.E.B. Du Bois.

Marvelous historical home

The location is convenient to downtown Raleigh. We requested extra linen during the first evening and the property manager was there in less than 30 minutes. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect Fit

The property is just as pictured and it was the perfect fit for our blended family weekend with our N.C. State student. Would recommend and would certainly stay there again. Ps - can see the neighbor’s fluffy orange cat from the window and that was an added bonus.

Beautiful Home!

We really enjoyed the time we spent here. The house has a spacious open living space. The house was immaculately clean. The beds were comfortable. It is obvious that the owners care and take pride in their home. Emily checked on us to make sure that we had everything that we needed. We will book again in the future.

Beautiful historical house and area

We were there for four days over the holiday 12/25, because of my daughter’s wedding. The house is lovely! Rooms are big and kitchen is beautiful. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy family time. We took long walks in Historic Oakwood, which has the best holiday decorations and cute houses! The only thing needed would be some kitchen towels.

Wedding Weekend with Friends

We could not rave about this house/location enough! The house is very spacious, beautiful kitchen and dining room space for a group of friends/family exploring the city. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay close to downtown but have plenty of room for guests to feel like they can relax and unwind after a busy day in downtown. I also loved how the home had plenty of cooking supplies for the kitchen and TVs in several rooms. The noise machines were also a crowd favorite!

Beautiful Home

Our adult children and grandkids were in town with us for a wedding. The house is conveniently located to the venue in downtown Raleigh. So many fun restaurants, shops and a children’s museum for the kids. The host was super easy to work with and the house is well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and Charming Historic Rental

The renovations were just enough to make this historic home both charming and modern. Home is mostly as advertised as it had some updates that weren't listed. We were pleasantly surprised by the barn door on the front room rather than just a curtain. The street parking was the least favorable aspect but didn't detract from the wonderdul experience inside the home. Would rent again for an adult gathering.

I love the crown molding and the integrity of keeping the house in ERA when it was built.

The photos online do not depict what the house looks like now. The images were taken years ago. The house is not handicapped accessible and the bedding is dated with no mattress pad. The toilet in the master suite did not work. The place is close to downtown and would be worth the walk. Parking is premium because there is no driveway to the house. The one thing I loved was how the crown molding was done. The house should have been pressure washed before renting it out. especially the porch. It would have been nice to come into a house that was fresh as soon as you opened the doors this house was not. We left a day earlier because I was not pleased with the place. I will not book it again.

Stayed at this adorable house for the weekend when down for my daughter's baby shower. Home was clean and exactly as depicted on the website. Property manager was very responsive to questions I had prior to arriving and answered them in a timely manner. House was close to town and perfect for my needs! Would highly recommend and stay there again in a heartbeat!

Girlfriend Trip to Raleigh!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Green Book house in downtown Raleigh. The house is gorgeous with such tasteful decorations. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was spacious and the big center island was just perfect for this group of old college friends to stay up late chatting and catching up. The host left a comprehensive list of local restaurants and shops that we explored and all were fun. If ever in Raleigh again, this property will be our first choice for a place to stay! Thank you so much for opening your home to us!!!!!

Great location!

This historic home is in a great location, only a short drive from everything we wanted to do. The house was spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. The only negative is that there were very few towels provided-one bath towel each, one hand towel per bathroom and no bath mat to step out on. Also, the pictures showed a much more “decorated” space. All in all, a great place to stay.

Exactly as described. No surprises

Upon arriving at the home, we were already very happy with our choice. The home is definitely historic and charming. The beds were comfortable and the rooms spacious. The kitchen was nicely stocked with plenty of mugs for coffee/tea in the morning. We had ample towels and linens. The most important thing for our group was the comfort. We felt like we were guests in someone’s home. Highly recommend!

Touring Band stays in historic home!

We so enjoyed having a place to rest during a very busy week in Raleigh during the IBMA WOB 2023. It was a treat staying in the same house that Duke Wellington and Cab Calloway and many more rested during tours. The house allowed for quiet rest, private spaces to "get away" and the room to move about without being on top of each other. This is definitely on a "rent again" list for this very busy band. The members of Full Cord Bluegrass were grateful for the space.
