Great spot for the long holiday weekend

We had a great stay at this home over the long weekend. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the house itself was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was a perfect home base—well-stocked and conveniently located near all the places we wanted to visit. We really enjoyed our time here and would gladly stay again!

Perfect stay for a short trip to the area

This listing checked all the boxes for us — a safe, clean, no-hassle stay for us during our sons baseball tournament in the area. It was really comfortable and a great alternative to a local hotel. It allowed for the extra space for me to be able to take work calls, and for all of us to relax. I really am grateful to have stayed here, and would do so again in a heartbeat.

Great little house convenient to everything!

This was a great place to stay with our dog. We loved the fenced in backyard for him to wander. The house was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The little neighborhood is close to a park for walking. The location gives easy access to Eno River State Park, Duke University, and also downtown Durham. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location

The house is on a dead end street, so while there is a highway nearby it is relatively quiet. It is so nicely decorated, which adds to its charm. Everything was very clean, and the kitchen had everything I needed. It is very near Guess Road, so it is close to lots of stores and restaurants. My grandson and I had a great time playing soccer and football in the huge backyard.
