Welcome to this 1918 built Cape Cod old house in East Durham, we are in a residential neighborhood a short 7 minutes east of downtown Durham!



While we are not likely to be onsite to welcome you or during your stay, we are easily accessible and timely in responding via the booking platform website/apps between 6am to 9pm EST. We can also be reached via text message or phone call in the event of an emergency. Our phone number will be provided prior to check in.

Please park on Southgate Street in front of the home (either side of the street is fine but stay at least 15 feet back from the intersection)

Please enter the first time up the front steps and use the door on the left (unit A).

The door uses the August Home smart lock and can be accessed by sending us your cellphone information prior to check in. Once you provide your cellphone and we add your number, you will receive a text message with additional instructions on how to download the app. Upon arrival to the front door, simply open the August Home app and press the circle to unlock the front door (the phone will sense the door lock via Bluetooth). We will also send you a unique pin pad code either as a backup or for primary use if you prefer not to download the door lock app.

In the event that technology fails, we have a backup lockbox hidden on site for emergency access.
