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.
