About the host
Hosted by Moyra
I love to travel! I was born in Zimbabwe and have lived in the UK, US and Italy. My job has taken me all over the world and while hotels are nice, I've always preferred to rent a whole property whether travelling by myself, with my family or friends.
Why they chose this property
Having lived in Raleigh in the 90s, I decided I really wanted to spend this next phase of my life back in North Carolina and I fell in love with Durham. The minute I viewed this house - in the pouring rain - I knew this was the place. When I walked into the house it just felt peaceful and I could feel my shoulders go down. The clincher was the back deck - large enough to entertain and with lots of privacy.
What makes this property unique
This is a sociable house - if you're in the kitchen you're not cut off from where anyone else might be. Yet if you want some quiet time, the bedrooms are away from the main living area or you could choose to spend time outside on the deck. Deer live in the woods, so if you're up early you can often see them making themselves at home out the back. Red cardinals are frequent visitors, contributing to an orchestra of bird song.
Yet you are just 10 minutes to downtown Durham with its amazing restaurants, galleries and bookshops. Duke Campus and Duke Medical facilities are also within a five to fifteen minute drive. If you need to get to RTP for business or down to Chapel Hill you'll be there in about 25 minutes.
