If you love nature and relaxing in a beautiful country setting, you will LOVE Tom and Lindy's home! The pool and hot tub were big hits. Hopefully, we will do a repeat next year.

Tom is a good host, responsive to our requests. The pool was clean and perfect for grandchildren. We ate s’mores by fire pit. All bedrooms clean and all had bathrooms. Was great for the wedding we came to Durham to attend. Thank you much TomRon from Los Angeles

This was a return visit for our family of 13, and this visit reminded us of why we loved it so much the first time. The location is beautiful and so quiet, the immaculate home had everything we could’ve asked for and more, and with the pool, the hot tub, the fishing pond, the game room - there was always something fun to do! We intended to do some exploring downtown but never left the property. Our hosts, Tom and Lindy, were so helpful and accessible, and just nice folks. We highly recommend this property and are hoping to return again.The Sullivans

If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay for vacation then this is the place to stay. We picked the flowers, walked back to the pond and enjoyed swimming in the pool. Tom was very responsive and just wants his renters to be happy.

We had a fantastic stay at this property and would highly recommend! We traveled to Hillsborough for a wedding and the house was spacious enough and with enough bathrooms for all twelve of us to comfortably get ready. The kitchen and amenities are well kept as well as the pool, hot tub, and nature areas. We spent most of our free time enjoying the outdoors - if you're around in the summer time there's a great strawberry field where you can pick the most delicious strawberries you'll ever have. Tom was a great host, very responsive and helpful with recommendations. Should we find ourselves back in this area, this is the first place we'll check to see if it is available!

This property is deluxe. We have stayed in over 20 VRBO and AIBNB properties and this property has been the nicest one. Others were nice but smaller. This property was very spacious. Very clean. The screened in porch with rocking chairs was wonderful. There is a bathroom in every bedroom (really unique). Beds were very comfortable. There is an extra bedroom only accessible from the outside so it was very private. KItchen was spacious with all the goodies needed for cooking. The hot tub was soothing and very clean to sit in. The pool is salt water and loved by all. It was very clean and clear in the 98 degree weather we had for 2 days there ( the house was refreshingly cool inside). We met the hosts (Tom and Lindy) and got to know them well. Very nice and accomodating folks. I highly recommend this home to insure a wonderful, enjoyable,carefree vacation away from home!

What a gorgeous property Tom and Lindy have! We were very lucky to get to enjoy it for a long weekend in preparation for our wedding nearby. The hosts were kind and communicative, and the house couldn't be lovelier.

What a wonderful place and a wonderful long weekend! The hosts and the caretaker made sure everything was perfect the entire stay. We were in town for a family reunion and the home had enough room for our family to stay comfortably. We spent most of our time outside by the pool and the pond. This home is very large and comfortable and will not disappoint! Thank you!
