The home was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The host was generous and kind before and throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed the tips for local restaurants, fire pit, and a space that was comfortable enough to spread out but cozy enough to get quality time in with the family. The home was clean and convenient to local spots. Highly recommend and we would stay here again!

Beautiful home and customer service
I can’t say enough about the hospitality and care the owners provided during our stay. The home had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with items that were needed to prepare meals for my family. The home was easy to find and close to Duke Medical Center. My adult children used the upstairs space to study or work. Thank you for showing care to my family during our stay.

Beautiful Property
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. I must say the host was very thoughtful and welcoming. On our first day, she stocked the refrigerator with fresh organic milk, bread, butter, and eggs. The following day, she dropped off fresh donuts, which the kids enjoyed.
This home is lovely, comfortable, and, most importantly, clean! I highly recommend that anyone visiting the area book their stay at this beautiful property; you will be happy you did.
Again, thank you for everything, and I look forward to booking again!!

Charming house with wonderful host
The house in Durham was charming. Open concept first floor felt quite spacious. All 4 bedrooms were generously sized. The kitchen was well equipped. The furnishings were tasteful and very comfortable. There was plenty of space for the 3 of us working from home to spread out.
Nest of all the host was spectacular. She was available for guidance and suggestions. She stayed in touch to assure there were no problems.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this home for a family or group of people wanting to comfortably stay in the RDU area.
