The Bull Pen, as Brad's place is called, was great for our visit to Durham to celebrate our younger grandchild's graduation from high school. The open floor plan made gathering easy and enjoyable, but we all had the privacy of good-sized bedrooms when we needed it. Check-in was a breeze. Brad's instructions for arrival--even construction areas to avoid on the way in--and his timely responsiveness to all queries were stellar.

Exactly as advertised
Perfect spot for long weekend with family. Clean, comfortable, roomy home for four adults and two GS dogs. Mostly quiet, older neighborhood with several homes undergoing renovations. The revitalized Golden Belt campus is a fun spot at end of the block for food, drink and entertainment (walking distance from the house). We enjoyed Saturday’s International Food Festival in downtown Raleigh. Host Brad was helpful with directions due to current road construction and promptly responded to questions. Highly recommend this wonderful home.

The house was awesome and perfect for our needs. You can tell that Brad takes pride in the home. It was clean and thoughtfully equipped. We needed to extend our stay and Brad was very pleasant and easy to work with. We will definitely stay there again.

Family Visit
With family in the Durham area but no one with the space for 3 extra people and a dog - this was the perfect stay - 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and spacious group areas gave us the space we needed to stretch and relax and be comfortable. Pet friendly made the fur baby happy to be able to be with us on vacation - full kitchen and appliances a huge plus and washer and dryer even made one less thing to do when we got home A++ and highly recommended
