I stayed here with a couple of friends while we attended a conference at Duke and it worked out brilliantly. There's easy parking for two cars, the neighborhood was quiet, it was a 10-15-minute drive from Duke Chapel, and the space was lovely. A delightful time was had by all!

For days i was searching for a property until i came across this one. I knew immediately it would have been the perfect choice to accommodate my family and I on our first trip to NC and it did not disappoint! Everything about the property was amazing to accommodate 6 of us and the house came equipped with essential needs! The location was perfect! I found it on the first try and there was so many options (stores,food,etc) nearby. The host was so responsive and super helpful with a list of so much to do in the area beforehand i honestly cannot wait to get back and try the places i didnt get to!(ha) i will be more than happy to book with them again! Im happy I made this choice, it truly felt like a home away from home. Thank you for having me!

A Lifesaver

This home was ideal for our lengthy, medically-related stay at Duke Medical Center. Not only was the home comfortably outfitted for any and all needs and wants, it was ideally located close to the hospitals, restaurants, groceries, etc. Owner was particularly helpful in some rescheduling issues. If we are ever back in Durham for a long spell, we will return. Excellent value.

Super clean and spacious home

Sister weekend for Dpac-loved the fact that two of the bedrooms had an en-suite bathroom. The home is decorated nicely and everything was spotless. Durham is going through an aggressive transformation/regentrification stage and this home is located in a transforming area with a mix of old and new. Can’t wait to see this area in a few years. We would stay here again

You will not be disappointed in staying here. One worry we had upon arrival was the busy street the house was on, but the traffic tapered off around 7 and it was pretty quiet. The house was clean and spacious with all the amenities of home! The pictures matched the house exactly! If our next Tri to Durham results in an extended stay we will stay here! Thank you so much for opening your home to us!

An understated gem in a thriving and growing Durham

The restoration work on this property was a jpy to behold. The layout on the inside works from a common lodge-like middle area, with four bedrooms ringing the middle. It is at the same time a great gathering place and a place for private relaxation. My sisters occupied this property during the trip and could not have been more happy. Host Dylan went above and beyond to help during the trip. Highly recommended!

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our time at this cute little house. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and there was even coffee readily available. This is a clearly experienced host who knows the basics people are looking for. We had our two littles with us so no stairs inside was a plus! We would stay here again :)

Lovely home, fabulous hosts,great quality inside with all necessities. Cleaning, bathroom, kitchen staples which was unexpected but appreciated. The area where this home is located I believe is a poorer area that that is starting to be gentrified into a much more appreciated space. Felt safe and cozy inside the home. Businesses around close a bit sketchy. Absolutely would stay again because you are near a lot of things and the home was exceptional.

We came into town for a major surgery at Duke University Hospital for our 19 yr old son that is battling cancer. The house was a great location for our family to travel back and forth to be with him and have a place to rest. The area was nice. We hope to be able to visit again when we can enjoy more.

Amazing Stay! Best Way to Experience Durham

Our stay was amazing, hands down! This property was centrally located, which made traversing the city and other areas a breeze. We were close to downtown Durham, where we spent a lot of time. The property was very clean, well provisioned, and set up for our family's vacation. Everyone had their own space, which we all appreciated! We definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to experience Durham.
