Dog Friendly House Near Duke + Downtown + Airport
This charming home is designed as a comfortable, convenient escape--perfect for families, professionals, and travelers. Located minutes from Duke University, Duke Hospital, and downtown Durham, our home offers the ideal mix of tranquility and accessibility.
Please note, we started building an ADU in the backyard in August. It is in the late stages of construction so there may be daytime noise (fairly minimal since they are now doing interior work) and you may encounter construction vehicles. We have dropped rates to compensate for the inconvenience. Most will still enjoy their stay but please contact us if you have questions.

This was our second stay at this house, and once again it was perfect for our needs. It is very near my daughter's house and we hope to come down again and stay here when we visit her and her family. It is clean, cheery, bright, and comfortable and communication with the host is stellar. Thank you, Navah!

Baby shower trip
This house was perfect for our 3 day visit to Durham for a baby shower for our daughter who lives one minute away by car. We were four adults - each bedroom was equally comfortable, and we enjoyed sitting in the backyard for breakfast and lounging in the living room.
