Welcome to our Woodland Cottage where serenity awaits your arrival. Watch the daily deer & fawn parade, or the swallowtails happily fluttering from flowering tree to flowering bush on this 1.79-acre property. Bunnies, squirrels, and turtles are also residents and birds are abundant. An easy .5-mile hike down to the Eno River on a lovely, wooded path is just one of many walks in this friendly neighborhood. Durham is the perfect destination for exploring historical sights, biking, kayaking, bird watching, pickleball, golf, fine and casual dining and to enjoy boutique shopping downtown. It is only 1.7 miles to area restaurants, Starbucks, Grocery and Drug Stores. The Cottage was built in 1951 and has been recently updated to feel fresh and new. The front porch, yard and garden are also welcoming and provide additional spaces to relax.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

This precious cottage is comfortable, well-stocked with kitchen and bath essentials, excellent tv and streaming, parking, cozy beds, outside areas, and was an excellent location for us visiting family over the Christmas holiday! We will absolutely book another stay when we visit our family there. The hosts were welcoming, available if needed, and had even decorated the cottage for Christmas, a most delightful touch!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this very nice cottage in Durham! The home was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and perfect for our Thanksgiving visit with our son. While the cottage is near a neighborhood, it still feels somewhat secluded and peaceful. The balance of privacy and convenience was even better than we expected.The owner was great to work with. She was very responsive, helpful, and low-key. She checked in after we arrived and answered questions quickly, which made everything easy.Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we would definitely stay here again!

Our stay was fantastic at this adorable cottage. We were happy to have such a cozy spot to spend some recovery time between outings and doings. It's close enough to downtown Durham to keep you able to get out and explore, but far enough away that it's quiet. The beds were comfortable, the linens were nice and I was exceptionally happy for a full size coffee pot instead of a Keurig. If we're ever in the Durham area again we will absolutely look to stay here for our visit.

As Advertised
The home was cute and quiet, just as advertised! We enjoyed our stay over Easter weekend. Loved being so close to the Eno. Just had some internet trouble that is difficult to remedy on a holiday weekend.

Pristine and private
The house was exactly as described. It has everything you need and comfy beds. While the address and the actual location are a little off, if you follow the directions shared when you get the welcome email, you should be able to find it a block away from the Maps location.

Lovely area
The cottage is on a great little street, off the road. It’s quiet and has lots of space outside. It was very clean and it is well appointed. There was a misunderstanding about something, and I could not reach the owners until the second day I was there in the mid afternoon. That was unfortunate. But by the third morning, it was remedied and the next two days were fine. I’d recommend clearer communication and availability when someone is checking in. Otherwise, it’s a very sweet cottage and would be a great place for anyone to stay for a little while in exploring Durham.
