Hello Jamie, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at our Treehouse! I have so many pet peeves when we travel, so when I bought absolutely everything for the house, it was with beauty, functionality and comfort in mind. I was always surprised that some very high end hotels weren’t comfortable at all. I’m pleased that you felt pampered! That’s the idea, and all that while nestled among the beauty of trees all around you! We will welcome you again on your next trip to Durham! Sue & Gary

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and the home was actually better than described. It was very clean with a fully stocked kitchen and a variety of coffee, tea, oil, spices and snacks. Shampoo and body were also provided which was a big plus. No expense was spared when it came to the bedding and furnishings, everything felt luxurious. The location was perfect, near Duke and easy access to the freeway. Sue was very responsive and made check-in and check-out incredibly easy. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stress-free and enjoyable stay in Durham, NC.
