Great space
Lovely time in Durham! We were staying close to other family and there was ample space to host the family for a meal and hang out time. The Foosball table was used quite a bit! I would have loved a more fully stocked kitchen with baking and cookware, but we had a lovely time in Durham!

Great place to stay in Durham!
We needed a place to stay in Durham while my husband had surgery and this place worked out great for my family. It's very clean and the beds were super comfortable. We liked that all the bedrooms had TV's. Nice yard if you have children or fur babies. Host was very easy to work with and responds quickly to questions.

Holiday Gathering
This property was perfect for our short visit. We were in town for a family holiday gathering at our nieces' house which was only 15 minutes away. The home was clean, well equipped, comfortable, and in a quiet neighborhood. I would recommend it to others, and I would most certainly stay again.

The house is on a quiet street with plenty of parking. A nice new Publix is right down the road should you need anything. House is roomy and nicely appointed. Kitchen was well supplied and conducive to cooking for a good sized group. Would rent again for my annual get together.

College tours & golf
We were a group of four - two adults and two teens - touring colleges and playing golf. This property was exactly as described and suited our needs perfectly. Convenient to anything you might need and each of us had our own room. A little off the beaten path, but a short drive to any of the local attractions and schools. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a clean, quiet place to stay in Durham!

Awesome home!
The house is the best - it has everything you will need. It is such a beautiful home and we definitely felt "at home". The spoken word art gave us life everyday. The layout of the home worked perfectly for us. On top of this, the neighborhood is quiet, a short distance away from Publix, and a short drive to Walmart (we had to pick up a couple of things). I'm grateful for the amenities because that means I didn't have to drag a big tote full of things.

Clean, nice little touches
It is the little things that can make a difference. We arrived to lights on, a personalized note welcoming us, and toiletries in the bathrooms. The home was clean and well-supplied. The host responded quickly to all messages. She ensured that we had all the information we needed. We made some great memories during our stay!

Amazing property!
The house is absolutely gorgeous. It is super comfortable with lots of space for the whole family. We all felt at home here. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook your meals. The kcup coffee machine was excellent since we have one at home as well. We had a great time relaxing in the living room and the back deck. We got to see a family of deer at dusk and dawn during our stay! Mitzi is amazing!! We always got a quick response whenever we messaged with questions. I will definitely be booking a stay on our next trip to Durham. Thank you so much for making us feel welcomed in your home.

Enjoyment in Durham
The home was sparkling clean and had the look of a newly refurbished residence in many respects. There were loads of amenities; even detergent for the washer was provided. It was tastefully decorated with furnishings that were of good quality and not dated. The lot was beautiful - very large with a beautiful deck out back. The interior of the home was great in terms of room placement. The master bedroom and bath were at the far end of the home, with three bedrooms and a bath at the other end. This split bedroom plan makes the stay very enjoyable, especially if there are younger children or teens in the group. There are actually two "living rooms" in the home - room for everyone to relax and do separate activities if need be. The kitchen with island made dining pleasurable, although we spent most of our time dining at local restaurants. A big plus for this home was Mitzi, our hostess. She was a great communicator and quick to respond to our questions and concerns. It was a very comfortable and relaxing spot for our family. We felt very "at home" during our stay.
