Duke Graduation Visit

The house was perfect. We had five people, but six would fit comfortably. It was bright and clean and well appointed. Really could not have been much better. And, in a long weekend full of activities, it was great to have a home base that was so close to everything.

Simply wonderful

What a pleasure to stay in this historic mill house, beautifully updated with a gorgeous kitchen and bathrooms. We walked on the Greenway every day, even in the blazing heat. We also walked through the nearby neighborhoods. We could see downtown Durham on the skyscape; we were just minutes away.

We had a great week visiting Durham, NC. The house was perfect for our needs; central to do just about anything. Grocery shops, restaurants, the University, Duke Gardens and several close-by dog parks. This property was pet friendly. If one thing could be improved on a bit: I wish the water pressure at the kitchen sink was stronger. Emily was great to work with.

A little to modern…..

Nice kitchen that was well stocked. Comfortable beds. VERY uncomfortable living room furniture and low quality, older linens in king and queen bedroom. Lack of art on the wall makes the house feel unfinished in furnishings.

I can't say enough positive about our stay at Modern Mill House in Durham. It was the perfect retreat while my husband was hospitalized at Duke. For much of the visit my adult daughter stayed at the house alone and felt so safe, as if she was at a family home. She was able to enjoy meals downtown without having to drive everywhere. For us, having the master bath on the first floor allowed my husband to be discharged locally where he was able to navigate without stairs. It was close enough to the hospital that even after discharge emergencies were easy to navigate. The fenced yard allowed our dogs freedom to explore. The opportunity to sit in the backyard and enjoy the early day sunrise, then sit on the porch for sunset was such a bonus while recuperating.It was everything as described and more. No amenities were overlooked. Cooking on a Viking range was really an unexpected feature, As a result we were able to eat most of our meals homemade rather than dining out. Something we had our fair share of with a month in the hospital.Communication with Emily and team was excellent. All of my questions were answered promptly. There were no surprises, always welcome when away from home. Our stay was very specific to healthcare, but I'd definitely return for a vacation visit in Durham.
