The comfortable, clean house was perfect for our family of three adults and a dog. It was nicely decorated and had a modern appeal. Laundry room was a plus. Carport served as needed shade on hot days in the 80s. A large fenced-in yard provided good space for the dog. The neighborhood was quiet and centrally-located near Duke University. Overall, this house if recommended for stays in the Durham area.

Perfect location for back and forth to Duke university hospital! The neighborhood is nice and quiet and the house is well equipped. The kitchen is kind of a challenge to cook in (not a lot of counter space) and the beds were not comfortable (we bought mattress toppers), but these things didn’t ruin the experience. We stayed during a heat wave and it got really hot in the house. The owners brought us a portable a/c to help keep the house cool. That’s 5 star service.

Great spot for the long holiday weekend

We had a great stay at this home over the long weekend. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the house itself was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was a perfect home base—well-stocked and conveniently located near all the places we wanted to visit. We really enjoyed our time here and would gladly stay again!

Great place to stay for a Duke visit

My college roommate and I stayed here for our reunion weekend. It was a quick drive to campus and was a cozy and quiet retreat after days filled with reunion events! The house was perfect for the two of us and was stocked with everything we needed! It was clean and nicely decorated and perfect for our trip! We would stay here again!

Lovely place for a little weekend!

Me, my dad, and my dog drove down to the Triangle area to visit family for the weekend. Truly no complaints about this place; it was clean, cozy, quiet, accessible, comfortable. Very easy logistically and a nice place to relax. Super glad we picked it!

What a great spot to land while helping our daughter move home after grad school! Super convenient location, and an amazingly quiet neighborhood made for a restful, peaceful place to reset each evening, and jump off in the morning. We would stay here again!

Perfect stay for a short trip to the area

This listing checked all the boxes for us — a safe, clean, no-hassle stay for us during our sons baseball tournament in the area. It was really comfortable and a great alternative to a local hotel. It allowed for the extra space for me to be able to take work calls, and for all of us to relax. I really am grateful to have stayed here, and would do so again in a heartbeat.

Great location for us to visit my father and other family. Very nice layout with large back yard ... we didn't actually use the yard for this visit but we will definitely book again the next time we drive with our dogs. They will love it!

Great little house convenient to everything!

This was a great place to stay with our dog. We loved the fenced in backyard for him to wander. The house was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The little neighborhood is close to a park for walking. The location gives easy access to Eno River State Park, Duke University, and also downtown Durham. Would definitely stay here again!
