Everything was great. Less than 1/4 mile hike to the Eno trail and we had a lovely staycation with some quality relaxing time. Would definitely recommend this stay. Location is absolutely perfect!
Homey home that backs up to the Eco River. Hiking along the river was a favorite activity along with hanging out in the beautiful backyard. It was the perfect place for a family reunion!
This is a lovely and spacious house. We loved being within a block of hiking trails which was great for exercise with our dog. The house was well supplied with everything needed. The wooded back yard is exceptional with a lovely deck, screen porch, pond and private walking trail. Very quiet and we slept very well. Wood floors in bedroom area creak loudly. Front steps are steep and hard to navigate when carrying things in and out.
We had a great time staying at this very comfortable home. Fabulous bed linens and fully stocked kitchen made for a luxurious stay. Plus plenty of run to spread out. Definitely recommend the
House is nicely laid out with nice light ving area and decent size bedrooms. Owner who lives next door was very friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. Saw lots of deer road ng both in the front and back of the property.
This property was very well stocked for our family’s Thanksgiving meal. We loved the fact that it backed on the Eno River Park and all enjoyed a few hikes on the trails.
We had an excellent stay with our group! Our host, Lu, was fantastic. The home was clean and well-equipped. The neighborhood and yard were beautiful. We would highly-recommend this fabulous property for your stay!
We had a stay in this cozy house. Loved having first floor bedrooms and safety features w my aging parent. Convenient to all we wanted. Host was close by and responsive and friendly. Lots of outdoor spaces to chill and relax overlooking the woods!
This was a really great find for our stay in Durham! The property was beautiful and in a nice quiet neighborhood. We left bed the back deck and porch area and spent most of our evenings back there. The home was really spacious and comfortable which allowed our large family to spread out and have some space. There were a couple of things worth noting which other reviewers have brought up as well. First, the floors in the house were creaky especially in the master bedroom. It's just the age of the home but I would recommend bringing earplugs since it could be heard throughout the first floor. Also, the kitchen was really nice but lacked enough glasses and dishes for our crew. They probably just got broken and tossed over the years so a dish/glass/silverware refresh should be considered.Overall this property was excellent and I would highly recommend it!
We really enjoyed staying right on the edge of Eno River State Park. We used the fire pit nightly and enjoyed being able to walk down to the river trail from the neighborhood. We even saw a huge family of deer in the back area.
This house met all of our needs. We got to experience a family of deer visiting every evening. Very peaceful stay. We would definitely stay here again!
Had a great stay gathering with family. Home had nice amenities and as described. Clean and well supplied. Lu the owner was pleasant and helpful. We had a nice stay.
Tranquil backyard and neighborhood with great trail hiking along the Eno River. Lu was a great property owner and very attentive to any communications.
Home was comfortable, Clean and just as it’s advertised.

- Grill with gas provided
- owners came over while we were out and left wood for the fire pit
- Lot of deer walking through the property
Negatives
- Not worth mentioning it was a great place
Great location near Eno River Park. Took a while to figure access to the park but took full advantage of it. Deck and backyard arrangements allowed outside partying in spite of the NC heat.
My 3 sisters and I were looking for a place to spend some time prior to a family event in Raleigh. This was the perfect place both for its being in a quiet area, the deck, screens porch, back yard, quiet area and still easily accessible to everything we wanted to do. The host was incredibly accommodating as well.
