NEW Luxe Retro Sports Retreat~Walk to Stadiums

Welcome to your vintage sports retreat—a stylish, pet-friendly 100-year-old bungalow in the heart of Raleigh. Just steps from the NC Fairgrounds with arena views out back, this cozy home blends retro sports decor with modern comforts and preserved historic charm like original hardwoods and oak cabinets.

This house has amenities for 8, but keep in mind 2 of the single beds (noted as located in the living room) are roll-away twin beds, not private bedrooms. Designed for group gatherings and pet-friendly stays, the space blends vintage sports decor with cozy, upscale touches throughout. You may notice a few quirks in the original finishes—these charming imperfections are part of the home’s story. We’ve preserved them to honor the craftsmanship of the family who built it and to keep its spirit alive.
