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

We liked the house in general, the host was awesome. Everything was available in the house and clean (kitchen tools, detergents, iron, etc.)

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!

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!

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 :)

This property was perfect to be close by downtown but in a neighborhood. It’s easy to get about town from this location. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed and very clean. I would definitely recommend.

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. Thank you!

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.

This was the most comfortable vacation rental we have ever stayed in. I was sold as soon as I saw that they use Free & Clear unscented laundry detergent, but the hosts went above and beyond to accommodate my request for fragrance free cleaning and not using air fresheners before our arrival. The air quality in the home was fantastic! The kitchen was well stocked with bakeware, utensils and dishes. We shared the space with our two grown sons and their partners. It was a perfect place to sit around the table, talking over meals and long into the night. We visited with a lot of relatives while in Durham, and appreciated the central location.

We were in town to meet our new Grandbaby. The house was very comfortable for 5 adults. It was equipped with everything we needed, including little things like coffee, coffee filters, dishwasher detergent, etc. It was a rainy weekend, but we enjoyed some outside time on the covered front porch.

Nice home, close to the city center
This is a nice home, close to Durham. It is not really walking distance. It worked well for a weekend wedding reception - the bedrooms allowed separation of families.
Note that the front bedroom's bathroom is shared with the third bedroom, past the kitchen. Two of the bedrooms have on suites which is nice, particularly for our older parents.
The house would be better with more functional furniture in the living room. There was a sectional that was quite low and difficult for our elders (and us!) to get out of, and then only two extra seats. We brought lawn chairs to use, and glad we did. If you had a full house (all bedrooms full), there is not enough seating.

This place is clean & beautiful!
I often have a hard time staying anywhere but my own bed but this place made it a delight! My friends & I had a wonderful time here as we stayed for a wedding in the area. Dylan was also wonderful to deal with as he covered all the bases with multiple emails as we neared our trip! Thanks for a wonderful stay & if I am ever back in North Carolina, I will be sure to book this place again!

The house itself was nice and clean. The location, HORRIBLE
The house interior, Beautiful nice and cozy house. However, it's only one small television. The house has no sense of security. My family did not feel safe to leaving the house with their valuables things. We felt so unsafe, we had to shorten our visit. One thing I can say, the property manager was very understanding and refunded is for the nights we did not say. The house itself is very nice. However, the location is HORRIBLE. If the property had a security gate where only the guest have access to the property, would put the guest more at easy. The house is off a busy street, where car lights shine into the house. You can hear all the traffic noise and sirens. As stated before, Beautiful house just HORRIBLE location.

Perfect for big groups
We stayed at this property for a guys trip. There were 5 of us and this was perfect. 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Can’t beat it. Close to downtown (about a $6 Uber) we also went to the UNC game in Chapel Hill (20 mins) so the location was great. Would definitely stay again!!!

Great, modern, clean, spacious
We came to a wedding at Duke Gardens. This house was new, clean and amazingly spacious. Great to be close to downtown and campus. The neighborhood looked a bit "transitional" but we felt perfectly safe. House is set back from road so we could enjoy coffee on the front porch. Would stay there again.
