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.

This was our family’s second stay at this wonderful house nestled in the trees. Everything is clean and beautifully furnished, the space feels calm and relaxing, and the owners clearly take a lot of pride in providing a top-notch experience for their guests. We will happily stay here again in the future and look forward to our next visit!

Traveling can be stressful but Sue and Gary’s treehouse was like a breath of fresh air. I have traveled to North Carolina many times and have stayed in numerous houses. This house by far exceeded my expectations. The pictures do not do the house justice. The furniture, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms were all in pristine condition. The bath towels were luxurious. From the cleanliness to having all the necessities one might need, this house was perfect for my family. The location was convenient and in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. It was definitely a 5 star experience and I will be back. Thank you Sue and Gary for sharing your beautiful home.

We had a wonderful stay at the house. Our hosts did a great job communicating beforehand, and everything was just as described. They did go above and beyond providing a kitchen with commonly needed pantry items and many other touches to make our stay comfortable. The entire place is updated and has a fresh feel. The location can't be beat. It is right next to Duke, in a quiet neighborhood, on a cul de sac, with the added bonus of being close to the Al Buehler trail for afternoon walks. If you are looking for relaxing, well-appointed, and peaceful, this is it! We are hoping to stay here again. Thank you Sue and Gary!

We visited Durham to tour Duke. The treehouse is very close to the Duke campus and was the perfect place for our family. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, cups, silverware. We love the option of making a simple meal or bringing in takeout when we don’t have the energy to venture out, and the treehouse had everything we needed and more. Coffee, tea, sugar, microwave popcorn, nut bars, and spices were provided. There is a Super Target very near for anything else you might want. The treehouse is beautiful and comfortable. Many thanks to Linda for being such a wonderful hostess! We will certainly be back whenever we return!

This property was exceptional. From the decor, cleanliness, attention to details and communication from the host it exceeded expectations. It’s the little things that really set it apart from other places we have stayed. The switches in the home were labeled, there were snacks on the counter, coffee pods for the Keurig,a basket of blankets to use while sitting in the living area! It was lovely. Location is great, minutes away from Duke and 20 from UNC. We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay in Durham and this house was perfect for all of our needs. It is in a beautiful spot nestled in the trees, and it was convenient to everything we needed.

We will definitely check this place first the next time we are in town!

This house is wonderful. Fully equipped, extremely comfortable and very quiet neighborhood. Very close to Duke University and a lot of stores and restaurants. Yet feels very private and secluded. Don't think twice!

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!

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!

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience staying at the treehouse. First of all the neighborhood is completely terrific I went for many walks around it’s very quiet and lovely. Second of all the house is just so super cool it is in a woodsy area and decorated beautifully. It is incredibly clean and there is anything and everything you need right in the house it feels just like home. Finally the owner, Sue, it’s just the kindest sweetest person and very accommodating. With a daughter attending Duke this is the only place I would ever stay if I am coming to visit. This particular visit was a long visit and I felt very very comfortable and at home.

Duke Graduation
We stayed at the treehouse a couple years ago to visit our son at school , and then again at graduation . The location is very close to campus in a lovely neighborhood. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and relaxing in the treehouse.
We felt at home here and appreciate the place to relax and recharge.

Girls’ Reunion Trip
We had a wonderful four night stay for a Duke Reunion weekend. The house was just as comfortable and well-decorated as the photos show, if not more so. There was not a single thing that we needed that the house didn’t have. The kitchen was beautiful and well-supplied. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of closet space, and the bathrooms were very nice. We had more than enough space for two of us to stay, with two friends that live in the RDU area visiting from time to time throughout the weekend. The WiFi was also excellent, and we both were able to work online as needed during the weekdays with no problems at all. We were able to have a relaxing time catching up away from more activity on campus, while being close enough to enjoy all the activities that we wanted to attend. Really a perfect stay, and we hope to be able to visit again in the future! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Beautiful Nest
Pat made our process so easy. I rented the house for surgery at nearby Duke. So close to the hospital yet very quite neighborhood. The home was immaculate. Beautifully decorated.
Smelled nice too. Everything you could want in the kitchen I plan on going back for next surgery

In the Trees
I am a Kentucky girl who now lives in Topsail on the coast. Being nestled in the trees in such a beautiful property is exactly what was needed in February. The house is exceptional. From the decor, the thoughtful care of what is needed, you can tell the owners want to have visitors enjoy themselves. We walked the neighborhood, the nearby parks and enjoyed being centrally located to Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh. Highly recommend!

Just like Home for the holidays
We spent our first Christmas away from home with our four adult children, one daughter-in-law and our infant granddaughter close at hand. Oldest son and his little family joined us for evening meals and a Christmas eve gift exchange. The rest of us enjoyed the comfortable beds, attractive up-to-date decor, well-equipped kitchen, and the nearby walking trails in between those visits. We hung our stockings on the stairway with care and St. Nick had no trouble finding us there!

Very unique and very special
We did have a little trouble with a new lock that had been recently installed but Sue was immediately “on it” and responsive. The house is beautiful and exactly as advertised. Moreover, Sue could NOT have been a more accommodating and gracious. We have rented many a VRBO property over the years and in many different cities. This was by far the nicest place we have ever stayed in and with the most responsive owners. It was a wonderful week!

Our daughter is a Duke freshman and we stayed for parents' weekend -- the house was so comfortable and amazing that we ended up napping, watching TV and having family time MUCH more than we would have if we stayed in a hotel. I cannot wait to stay again - LOVED IT!!!!!
