We had a wonderful stay and would happily return. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, and the host was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout.We were especially impressed with how well the home was stocked—plenty of towels, toiletries, coffee, creamer, and other thoughtful touches that made settling in effortless.While our schedule didn’t leave much downtime, this property is perfectly set up for it—the game room, books and games, plus the beautiful lake views and outdoor spaces would make for a very relaxing stay.Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommend.

Family stay for NCSU graduation

This was a nice home for our family to gather while we were in town for college graduation. It was very quiet and had all the comforts of home. We loved the spaciousness of the property and that everything was all on one level for the grandparents. We would definitely stay here again!

GREAT STAY

This house is lovely. We were in town for a graduation and the property delivered. There was enough space to be comfortable inside and out. Plenty of family friendly activities and top notch amenities. Comfortably furnished and a well stocked kitchen. My family and I will stay here again.

McKenzie's Wedding

Five nights, lots of driving around between Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh; well located for that. Systems, appliances in great shape; everything included in kitchen and bath; we cooked in (or take out) several times and it was all easy. Good grill, sitting by pond was chill.

Great stay for graduation weekend

The place was well suited for our family. Sue was extremely responsive and made sure we were settled in her home and was available all weekend to answer any questions, if we had them. The house was clean, well-stocked and very comfortable for us. We were out the door early in the morning, otherwise we would have enjoyed having our coffee down by the lake!

A touch of country in the city

A great house located away from the hustle and bustle. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. We walked and sat by the lake which was very relaxing. And although we were out from the city there's a big mall just two miles down the road as well as everything else a city like Durham has to offer. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I'm ever in the area.

Perfection!

Four gal pals spent a long weekend in this very comfy, cozy and well cared for home. We were so happy with all the small touches from two coffee pots, seasonings, to a totally unexpected Christmas tree! Communications from the hosts were spot on and extremely helpful. The location was perfect as it felt secluded but was just minutes away from shopping and restaurants. We all agreed that we would be happy to make this location our agreed upon meeting spot in the future.

Two Durham NC nextdoor waterfront rentals for large family gathering

The 2 nextdoor waterfront rentals in Durham NC were perfect for our large family gathering. JT and Susan were excellent hosts. The properties in beautiful water front woods exceeded our expectations in every way. They had all the little things you need and everything was easy to find with labeled cabinets and drawers. Furnishings and appliances were beautiful, like new, & in great taste. We enjoyed relaxing in the back yard, porches, grilling, playing corn hole, games, kids caught their first fish in the pond using many provided fishing poles. They sent me a suit that I forgot at the property. It was a great value and was everything you could hope for. Thank you very much.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jul, 2025
From the owner: "Bruce, we were happy to provide an enjoyable place for your large family gathering! I hope some of the kids continue their fishing hobby!"
