Your Modern Family Retreat, sleeps 10!

Welcome home for your next getaway to Durham! This family-friendly retreat is bursting with character, plus all the extras that make you feel at home. Luxurious amenities, ample bedrooms, and large indoor & outdoor dining and gathering spaces, will give every member of your family a new favorite spot. You’re all going to love it here!
5 min to Duke University & Regional hospitals.

We can be available if something goes wrong, but we generally leave you to your trip! Emily will be your main point of contact, and lives close by if you need anything.

The North Durham/Duke Homestead area is a peaceful suburban neighborhood where you’ll feel surrounded by nature, yet still be within 10 minutes of Downtown.
Stretch your legs or walk your pups around the corner in Whippoorwill Park, or go out for a special meal at Gocciolina - one of Durham’s finest restaurants.

You'll enjoy full access to the entire home & yard. The driveway has plenty of parking for up to four cars. Pro-tip: back into the driveway for an easier exit!

This beautiful home boasts a variety of incredible gathering spaces, making it the perfect place for your next family or group retreat. The inclusive amenities will ensure you’re comfortable for a longer stay, as well.
Six beds throughout the three generous bedrooms, including fun triple bunk beds, provide plenty of private, comfortable space for everyone to rest. The green bedroom includes a desk for a private workspace.
The full kitchen (stocked with all the basics!) provides room to create a delicious meal to enjoy in the full dining room, or on the back deck dining area. Then pile on the couch for a movie while the kiddos play in the indoor tent. Greet the morning with a cup of coffee in the covered porch as you prepare for the day ahead. Or end your day with s’mores around the fire pit while the kiddos & pups run out some energy around the fenced-in backyard. We can’t wait to host you!

We are Delighted Properties, because that is how we want you to feel when you walk in the door. The Bull City is our home and we want to share it with you, through personal recommendations and the items & services we provide throughout your space. Look for all the local products we include (and ask us where you can find them for yourself!)
We take great care in creating a comfortable, home-but-better experience for your stay - we hope you'll Be Delighted!
