East Durham Vacations from $472

The room was great. Had everything I needed and was very comfortable.

What was unique about this property was that it sat in front of a beautiful running creek. It is all set up outside that you can sit and relax and enjoy the sound of the creek or maybe at night enjoy a fire.The house itself is beautiful, very cozy and inviting. But what made it all come together was its owner, Johnny. He puts so much care and detail into your stay making it so welcoming and comfortable. And breakfast? OMG!! Absolutely delicious and an awesome way to start your day.. And I have to say the coffee is the best I’ve ever had! I would highly recommend Amaya in whether you’re just staying the night or taking in a few days to see the beautiful town of Oak Hill and surrounding areas.

It’s easy to miss driving by. Building, parking area and pool are separated from the highway by a tree landscaped berm. The sign is small, tan-ish orange and partially hidden by trees on the berm. Made finding the entrance difficult. Once there, our stay was very enjoyable.

Check in information was provided via email the day of check in. I was able to enter the hotel and my room without a problem. The hotel staff was responsive and helpful via text messages. The inside of our room was very comfortable, the staff left a few complementary drinks and snack in the room for us which was very much appreciated. The room had a home feeling to it which made for a comfortable stay. The location was safe, quiet and had lovely mountain side views. This location was close to many popular hiking spots in the area we had a lot of fun.

The property needs curtains or shades. As soon as the sun starts to come up, you have little option but to awaken to the sun beaming in your face. Also, both sink faucets delivered hot water; there was no cold water to brush teeth. Same in the shower - super hot. Lastly, we wanted to watch World Cup - and while the TV would turn on, either the remote to the Roku was dead or needed new batteries. All in all, too many issues for a nice boutique hotel.
