Such a beautiful home in the woods, booked this stay for family as we were in town for a nearby festival. The hosts were so friendly and accomodating during their stay, they truly thought of everything! The nearby trails was an added bonus, we enjoyed seeing the local wildlife.

This is an exceptionally well kept and well appointed property. The images shown are true to what you will find. The sleep number beds provided us with restful nights of sleep. This was, is, and will be our place to stay in Durham.

We stayed here for 6 nights while my daughter had surgery at Duke Medical. This place was the perfect place to go back to after a long day at the hospital every day. Quiet, extremely easy to get to the hospital. The place was stocked with all cooking utensils needed. Everything was exactly as represented. The property owners were very polite and accessible. They even shipped some clothes that were left in the laundry to me. We are headed up to Durham in a few weeks for her post op and will probably try to book again then. Please follow the speed limit on the road the house is on. There are deer everywhere.

Laura’s house is in a beautiful setting of tall trees and quiet, at the end of a road that leads to walking trails. The house is equipped with everything you need for an extended stay and it is very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay very much, although we didn’t spend much time in the house. I would definitely recommend Laura and Brad’s place to other travelers!

The host, Laura, was communicative and helpful and the property was perfect! A peaceful and pretty location in the woods with a wonderful walking path right out the driveway and all of the amenities that you would need for a vacation stay. I would definitely stay there again and I’m very happy to have found this little gem on VRBO :-)
