I can't say enough about this property. The kitchen was clean and organized as was the rest of the home and I can't think of anything we needed that wasn't included in this home.Any questions I had about the home were answered quickly, and if I had taken more time to read the helpful binder of information that was left on the desk, there would have been no need to ask any questions at all. Very thorough!
Beautiful home with excellent hosts. House was very well appointed and very comfortable for our family. Will stay again here on our next visit. Close to everything Raleigh has to offer and tucked away in wooded area that makes you feel like you are t in the city.
Yes kitchen was awesome and we didn’t have to run out and get food for the next day. This was the best place that we have stayed in the last 10 years of VRBO homes
We loved everything about the place and Rob and Susan are the nicest hosts imaginable!

Thank you so much Leroy,
We loved having you, your wife and the girls. We certainly hope you will stay with us again on your next visit to Durham.
The house is absolutely stunning! Susan and Rob have outdone themselves on the house, the comfort level and the amenities they provide. Over and above on the hospitality! Wish we had had more time to spend there!
This was a beautiful home that was well equipped for a worry free stay. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. This was close to shopping and eateries and overall a wonderful place to stay.
We were in town to visit family in the area. It was a convenient location for our stay and Susan was extremely welcoming. The house was lovely. We had a great stay and especially enjoyed using the tennis courts and pool.
We were in town for my son's wedding and couldn't have asked for a nicer home to stay. It was impeccably clean, beds were comfortable and the home was decorated beautifully. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with supplies and a few provisions.
Lovely condo with everything you could possibly want. I have never seen such a well-stocked kitchen in any other vacation rental. Susan met us at the property at check-in and was extremely friendly and helpful.
Would definitely stay there again when we visit Raleigh.
This house was stocked above and beyond expectations! It was perfect for my husband and I to stay and spend time with our children who live in the area. The hosts were perfect!,

About the host
Hosted by Susan & Rob Bucklin
Rob and I have been hosting guests since 2014. We are semi retired and live very active life styles. We enjoy healthy cooking, gardening, our dogs (Hungarian Kuvasz), traveling when we can, hosting you and Hurricanes Hockey! We are scuba divers and love sailing. I am a stained glass artist and Rob loves to play tennis and pickle ball. We are both certified dog therapy teams. We loved Europe, Alaska and the Caribbean Islands; and someday look forward to traveling to Australia, Asia and Bora Bora.
Our Motto: Live life day to day.... and to the fullest!
Why they chose this property
The house is very private, quiet and convenient to RDU airport, RTP, NCSU, UNC, Duke, downtown Raleigh & Durham, shopping, parks, NC Museum of Art and some great restaurants to name a few things. We have equipped it with pretty much anything you could possibly need for a delightful stay. If we are missing something, we are only 10 minutes away. Raleigh is a great area, where we are just four hours away from the Blue Ridge Mountains on one side and two hours from the beaches on the other side. We look forward to hearing from you.
What makes this property unique
The best things about this area are: Location, because it is convenient to many popular destinations in Raleigh and easy access to getting in and out of town. Peacefulness, as it sets at the end of a no through access road in a very quiet neighborhood. Friendliness, because your neighbors have been our friends for many years. Comfort, because we have tried to anticipate all your needs while being away from home. Then last but not least Privacy, because having the woods behind and the lake beside you, the only interruption you may have are the geese in the winter and the frogs in the summer.
