Very cute setting, back deck and back yard were very charming, spent a lot of time out there. Biggest concern was overwhelming musty/moldy smell, very prominent in bedroom above garage.

Our favorite pre-vacation

Our family gathers in Durham for several days to see old friends before we leave for the beach. This is our absolute favorite place to spend these days. The beautiful inside and outside areas are all so lovely, and occasionally some have made the trek down to the Eno River. This year is perhaps the 5th time we have stayed here!

Great place

Quiet neighborhood. We went to the Life and Science Museum and it was the perfect location. Great for kids and infants. Nothing laying around that was breakable for the baby to grab. The host was helpful. Porch was really peaceful.

Three generations of family members came to Durham for a weekend of kayaking, paddling our 16th WNC lake in 2 years. We could not have found a more perfect place to stay! My adult grandson had to cancel out but he would have loved the room above the garage as his own special little nook! The home was neat and tidy, warm and cozy. The ideal spot to tuck in at the end of our day. I could see myself loving this home as the perfect, quiet spot to retire! My little dog enjoyed our morning and evening walks down to the Eno River along the Mountain-to-Sea Trail. Each morning we were greeted by 2 does and a group of triplet fawns. We have stayed at many VRBO rentals over the years. This, we believe, was one of our top 3!! Our last day of kayaking was rained out. We plan to return to the Durham area next spring to float the waters of more lakes in the area and stay here again!

House is nicely laid out with nice light ving area and decent size bedrooms. Owner who lives next door was very friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. Saw lots of deer road ng both in the front and back of the property.
