The comfortable, clean house was perfect for our family of three adults and a dog. It was nicely decorated and had a modern appeal. Laundry room was a plus. Carport served as needed shade on hot days in the 80s. A large fenced-in yard provided good space for the dog. The neighborhood was quiet and centrally-located near Duke University. Overall, this house if recommended for stays in the Durham area.

Great spot for the long holiday weekend

We had a great stay at this home over the long weekend. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the house itself was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was a perfect home base—well-stocked and conveniently located near all the places we wanted to visit. We really enjoyed our time here and would gladly stay again!

Perfect stay for a short trip to the area

This listing checked all the boxes for us — a safe, clean, no-hassle stay for us during our sons baseball tournament in the area. It was really comfortable and a great alternative to a local hotel. It allowed for the extra space for me to be able to take work calls, and for all of us to relax. I really am grateful to have stayed here, and would do so again in a heartbeat.
