Perfect house in great neighborhood

This house is in the perfect location to downtown Durham. It is a nice and safe neighborhood. We walked around and could imagine living in a neighborhood just like this. The house was clean and looked just like the pictures online. The beds were very comfy! My kids were very happy having their own spaces (the little futon room was a gem to my son). The house was equipped with all of the basics we needed. We enjoyed wine on the front porch and would have enjoyed the backyard more if our stay had been longer. I would definitely recommend staying here. It was the perfect home away from home; so much better than a hotel.

Cute home near Duke Campus and downtown Durham

I rented this home for parents weekend at Duke and was pleased! The listing is very accurate and home is comfortable. I was hoping it would be walking distance to Duke, but was a very easy drive. I would stay again!

Living with grandsons

My daughter, son in law and grandsons live in Durham. I wanted to spend time with them without wearing thin my welcome. So I rented this home in forest hills for two weeks. It worked out perfectly because my grandsons lived with me for two weeks and we had a ball. The home was clean, well provisioned and ideally located for the schools for the boys. Would definitely rent this place again
