Modern Treehouse Close to Duke

Welcome to your treehouse in the city! Perfect for Duke patients, professionals, & Durham getaways! Being nestled in a serene forest, you can relax and enjoy the sounds of nature in a quiet neighborhood very close to Duke University, Duke University Medical Center, the Duke Forest, and downtown Durham. It is also in the vicinity of the Research Triangle Park and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This property has been totally renovated and is artistically appointed. It is nestled between trees on a large lot within a quiet Duke Forest neighborhood cul de sac. A large open living area awaits you and is complete with a marble dining table that seats six. The living area is also beautifully furnished for you to watch the smart TV visit with your family, friends, or simply relax. Another section of this large room provides an additional queen sofa bed which serves as a nice reading area or an extra sleeping area. Your open kitchen is a great spot to prepare delightful meals or snacks while you visit with guests as they are comfortably seated in the living area or at the bar. Your circular great room opens to a wrap around deck with an outside table seating six. The view to the woods is fantastic, no matter where you settle. Downstairs are two newly furnished master bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed. Each of the master bedrooms has a full bath, and its own private patio. Like the upstairs deck, the downstairs patios are abundant with panoramic forest views. Between the two bedrooms is a small room with a twin fold out ottoman. There is also a separate laundry room with a large capacity washer and a dryer. A mesh wifi will keep you connected throughout the house. Additionally, a Ring doorbell system is in place for your safety. Parking is available in your private driveway or on the street in front of your house. Hiking is nearby on the Al Buehler Trail. We cater to guests visiting Durham and Chapel Hill, Duke patients and people with asthma and allergies, Even the most finicky would find comfort in this home!

What a wonderful “tree house.” It was well maintained and well equipped for a nice stay. The beds were great and the scenery from every window was tranquil. I would highly recommend this home.

Great stay, great location!

Loved our extended weekend here. The property had everything we needed and was a great location. Close enough to dining and entertainment but not in the middle of the city either. If we come back we would certainly look at this place again!

Wonderfully peaceful house close to Duke

We stayed at the Treehouse while our daughter had surgery at Duke. The Treehouse was peaceful and the perfect place to recoup after surgery. Sue and Gary were wonderful hosts. They were great about communicating before our reservation and were flexible about our arrival/departure. The house was a perfect retreat. They even provided coffee k-pods and snacks for our stay. Lovely bedding, towels and toiletries were provided for our stay. I highly recommend this property and the owners.

We found the Treehouse to be an immaculate, welcoming, comfortable and very “well-appointed” home-away-from home. Kitchen was very well equipped, beds and bedding were very comfortable— even luxurious! All in all, a wonderful stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the "treehouse." Sue was incredibly attentive to our needs as there were a couple of power issues related to the storms which went by prior to our arrival. Those issues were quickly resolved within the first couple of hours of our stay and we had a wonderful time. The house is spacious because of the layout. Kitchen is modern with all amenities. We felt comfortable going for daily walks in the neighborhood. Extremely convenient location. We were able to drive downtown and to great local restaurants within minutes. The whole time we were in the house we marveled about the architecture of the house. Really cute!!
