Highly recommend this absolutely stunning home! Lovingly constructed and designed, with abundant natural light, a combination of high end and historic touches and tastefully decorated. Private and peaceful, with the library and downtown just steps away. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great house! We really enjoyed our stay. The house was exceptionally clean, spacious and well appointed. It felt like a little private oasis right in the heart of the city. Next time we're in the area we will definitely rebook this property. We also appreciated all the recommendations from the host which helped us plan our stay.

Light, bright, private and good energy describes this newer and thoughtful build walkable to downtown Durham. Responsive and highly accommodating host. Looking forward to our next stay.

We loved everything about this house! The location was great, you could easily walk to Downtown Durham in minutes. The house was very clean and cleaning supplies were available if you needed to clean up a spill or vacuum a mess, which isn’t always the case in rental homes. Loved having a quick, working washer and dryer. Note there is a fire house behind the house, so you will occasionally hear fire truck sirens leaving the station. Other than that it was a peaceful, relaxing stay.

Biscuits & Banjos weekend

We loved our stay. The hosts were super accommodating when our schedule changed. They were so helpful when we messed up and forgot our clothing in the dryer. The home was so comfortable, with lots of natural light. It was quiet and relaxing, but also offerd the convenience of being to walk right to downtown. Such a great time!

Well kept clean quaint and comfy

I’d love to give this place 5 stars and it deserves it, but there were a few noteworthy items that could be better. Before I mention those, let’s talk about the great stuff. The unit itself is perfect. Roomy but cozy, great lighting, tastefully decorated, private (no adjoining units), and located within minutes (walking) of many food and drink options including a couple wonderful rooftop bars. Honestly, this is one of those most memorable and comfortable vrbos I’ve ever stayed in with a high recommend. As for the missing star…communication from the owner/property manager was either lacking or slow, including requested answers to 3 separate questions. If communication sucks, you can’t earn 5 stars. The unit was also lacking laundry detergent despite having a washer/dryer. I sent a message about it but didn’t hear back until our last night, after we had already purchased detergent. These are minor concerns, and they wouldn’t preclude me from coming back or recommending this unit.

Das Haus befindet sich im hinteren Bereich und hat davor einen zugehörigen Parkplatz der aber nur von einem kleinerem Auto besetzt werden kann. Ansonsten muss man an der Straße parken.Am Haus gibt es eine nicht überdachte Terrasse, die über einen Essplatz verfügt und einen weiteren Sitzbereich der leider auch nicht überdacht ist. Da es hier öfter mal regnet, kann man dann nicht draußen sitzen (Kissen waren bei unserer Ankunft durchgenässt und sehr dreckig). Der Vermieter hat sofort reagiert und die Kissenbezüge reinigen lassen (nochmals danke),aber es hat nicht viel gebracht! Einen Tipp an den Vermieter: eine Truhe für die Kissen oder wasserabweisendes Material für die Kissen draußen ;-)Die Zimmer und Bäder sind etwas klein aber ausreichend. Die Inneneinrichtung ist sehr schön. Der Küchenbereich ist auch nett gemacht. Die Küche hat aber leider nur das nötigste an Utensilien, deshalb hat sie uns zum „selber kochen“ nicht inspiriert.Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern hat sehr gut funktioniert.
