Wedding destination
The property is gorgeous with a pond stocked with fish. Our boys enjoyed catching and releasing small bass and sunnies. The home is immaculate, beautiful, and stocked with every imaginable thing you would need to make your stay enjoyable and worry-free. The rooms are spacious and allowed our group of 10 to spread out and do whatever we wanted to do. I highly recommend a stay at this property. You'll really enjoy it's many "perks".

Large Home with Lots of Gathering Spaces on Wooded Lot
Our large multi-generational family celebrated the Christmas and New Year’s holidays at this large, comfortable house. The kitchen was spacious and very well stocked, with labeled drawers and cabinets facilitating our many cooks and assistants. The front living room - with a light and simply decorated Christmas tree - and back den provided multiple gathering places. The multi-level deck outdoors had two tables with seating for at least fifteen. The hosts were very responsive by test and phone. An all around wonderful experience.

Peaceful Durham retreat
This was an outstanding property, especially for the very reasonable price. The house was large and well equipped and the setting was lovely. Our group was small, but it would be a great house for a larger family reunion.

Great House and Location
We stayed in August for 5 nights while visiting family. The house was clean and very spacious and included many amenities such as; toiletries, kitchen supplies, games, cleaning supplies, and other small things. We cooked out and enjoyed the grill, deck and overall yard. The property is in a good location, 20 minutes to downtown Cary and Durham. Five minutes from South Point mall and minutes away from Harris Teeters market, ABC liquor store and Total wine. Definitely would stay here again .
