Great spot to stay and very responsive owner. Very clean and well furnished. Loved all of the info provided by the owners about the area and the local amenities.
I stayed here with a couple of friends while we attended a conference at Duke and it worked out brilliantly. There's easy parking for two cars, the neighborhood was quiet, it was a 10-15-minute drive from Duke Chapel, and the space was lovely. A delightful time was had by all!
Great place for privacy, all food spots was close to the bnb, the bnb was an amazing, my friends were shocked on how good the bnb was, spacious. Only thing was the lights in the king bed room in the bathroom didn’t work but everything else was great.
My 3 friends and I LOVED this home! Location is perfect for accessing anywhere in town that you want to go (by vehicle). Just a few minutes away from Duke University and all of the fun downtown hot spots.The house itself is SO cozy. There are fans in each bedroom (which you need in the south). Having 4 separate bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was AMAZING! We had our own "private" space to stretch out when we needed it. The bathrooms are stocked with all the amenities you need, just as you would keep them at your own house. The living area/kitchen and front porch are inviting and cozy, perfect for relaxing and spending time together with friends. The kitchen has everything you need to make your own meals, but don't miss out on the local eateries - everywhere we ate was DEE-licious! The little touches in the house (such as PLENTY of coffee - again, it's a southern thing) made me feel like I was at home.If you need to stay in Durham, this is the place!
We had a great stay in Durham at this property. We were in town for 3 nights for an event at DPAC and this location was great! both driving and Bering was easy from this spot, it's relatively private and was supplied with everything we needed for our stay.
Communication with Dylan was excellent, and the space was both large and comfy. The property is nicely secluded from neighbors despite being right in the busy city.
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 :)
Great house for a larger family stay. Very clean. Had 6 adults staying was perfect floor plan, good amenities. Close to Duke. Would definitely stay again.
We were 4 multi generational families that came into town for a wedding. This space was perfect.
Plenty of space and a nice walk or easy Lyft ride into town

<3 loved seeing your feedback-- there are definitely too many AMAZING restaurants to scope out in one visit, so I'm in full support of your return trip! :-) We look forward to having you back any time
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.
