The house was comfortable, well-appointed and convenient. We especially enjoyed the main living area (with gas fireplace) and porches (front and back). The house is clean, updated and fully stocked. We stayed over a long weekend while visiting our son at Duke. We will look forward to our next stay.

Home away from home

Stayed here for several days while daughter had procedure at Duke hospital and then came to recover. She felt so comfortable here just as if she were at home. Everything was as advertised and would certainly stay here when in the area.

Amazing house close to Duke!

We had a great experience. The house was beautiful, with every detail taken care of. We had everything we needed and can’t thing of anything we would have changed. My daughter was going to a camp at Duke East campus and the house was a straight 8 minute or so shot to where we needed to be. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful home

Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful home. This is a great home that has been completely renovated and I absolutely loved the style. I wouldn’t change a thing. Nothing had been overlooked to make this home beautiful. Everything is so comfortable and stylish. Thanks for a wonderful stay. If we are ever in the area again, I would love to stay here again.

Excellent home

House was beautiful! Looks exactly like pictures. Everything was very clean and comfortable! Owner thought of everything from fully stocked kitchen complete with spices to laundry room with detergent, dryer sheets and stain remover. Extra blankets and pillows in the hall closet were nice. The one and only thing I would suggest is a door to the tub & toilet area in the jack and Jill bath. That would make it more accessible for both rooms. Other than that the house was perfect!! Owner was really nice and easy to work with! Would absolutely rent again!
