It was an absolute pleasure hosting Makala and her friends and family. They were incredibly respectful of the home, left everything in perfect condition, and communicated clearly throughout their stay. Guests like them make hosting so rewarding. I would welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to any future host!
We came down to Raleigh for a graduation and, as a family of six, needed a large home. The home was beautifully decorated and very clean. The Duke University Hospital is super close which is also very convenient. It was a great stay and we would definitely come back.
Property was great - lots of space. Host was very accommodating and easy to work with, quick to answer inquiries and helpful with questions regarding local area. We were there for a family wedding- we were close to all the venues.
Will definitely be the first place we inquire about this time next year.

Thank you so much! We’d be absolutely delighted to host you again next year. You were wonderful guests, and it means a lot to hear you enjoyed your stay. Please don’t hesitate to reach out whenever you’re planning your next visit — we’d love to welcome you back!
The welcoming was extra nice! The home was rich with history and yet fresh with decor. Everything was so clean and well thought out. The basement was worth the extra charge and kept the kids well entertained.
Was in town with several friends for a golf weekend and this house was perfect for our stay. Was very near Duke University Golf Club, was clean, with new appliances and plenty of parking. The host was very responsive and helpful.
