Perfect for extended stay!

We were delighted with this adorable home! The furnishings are so modern and tasteful. Everything you need is here! We were here for medical care and found the location ideal for Duke hospital and offices. Wish we could give the owner MORE than 5 stars - she is a gem. She was so flexible through our medical ups and downs, and quickly responded to our questions. Our stay couldn’t have been better!

Great location to Duke University Hospital

We needed a place close to Duke hospital for a month due to my husband’s surgery and a safe place for our dog. This home was perfect for our needs. The fenced in back yard was exactly what we needed for our dog.

Pretty Little House

House was nice especially for a pet friendly property. Pictures were accurate. Hassle free check in. It is very close to a busy highway, so it was noisy.

Comfortable rental unit

The home was comfortable and met all of our needs. It was clear many updates were made to modernize the house. Everything functioned well and was lovely. The host was very kind and graciously allowed us to check in early. The home is near the freeway, which is convenient, but also a little loud when you’re outside.

Perfect Location

Location is right off the highway in a nice quiet neighborhood. You can walk to the park or go for a quick drive for pretty much any food you need. House is great and the backyard is perfect for a dog. Comfortable and cozy!

A Friend’s Reunion

The property is a cozy bungalow that is conveniently situated to restaurants, parks, and close to downtown Durham. We both enjoyed the house. It was very clean and well supplied to make our stay comfortable. I will recommend this property to my friends.

Great value and close proximity to Duke campus

We stayed at this property while attending our son’s graduation from Duke University. The rates were very reasonable and our stay was comfortable. The location is great for easy access to the university but it is very close to the freeway and you can hear the traffic noise. We are big city people so it was not a huge issue but it would be nice to know ahead of time. Spending time outside is not as enjoyable when you hear the constant roar of traffic.

Excellent Location for Exploring Durham

Very convenient, clean home at the end of a dead-end street. My wife and our 2 dogs were in town for a long weekend to explore Durham's restaurants, local hikes and museums. The back yard is fenced and a big plus for our 2 dogs. Would definitely want to stay here again.

Close to Everything

The house was a perfect size for me and my dog! It is close to so many food options, Duke, and downtown Durham, and it is right off the highway. Quiet neighborhood that is easy to walk around and get to some parks. The fenced in backyard was great to let my dog roam and play with him. Really enjoyed my stay and if I ever need a place in the Durham area again, I hope to stay here again!

We have never felt so welcome and at ease in a new city! The owners were immediately available at all times. The neighbors were welcoming! Charming house, fenced back yard which was great for our dog. Amazing hiking trails nearby. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay.

We were pleased with our stay in Durham at this cozy, clean and well appointed dog friendly home. The home is located close to playgrounds, parks and trails with easy access to I85 as well. We enjoyed taking our 2 year old grandson to the playground and walking the dog on the trails.
