About this property

Modern Treehouse Close to Duke

Welcome to your treehouse in the city! Perfect for Duke patients, professionals, & Durham getaways! Being nestled in a serene forest, you can relax and enjoy the sounds of nature in a quiet neighborhood very close to Duke University, Duke University Medical Center, the Duke Forest, and downtown Durham. It is also in the vicinity of the Research Triangle Park and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This property has been totally renovated and is artistically appointed. It is nestled between trees on a large lot within a quiet Duke Forest neighborhood cul de sac. A large open living area awaits you and is complete with a marble dining table that seats six. The living area is also beautifully furnished for you to watch the smart TV visit with your family, friends, or simply relax. Another section of this large room provides an additional queen sofa bed which serves as a nice reading area or an extra sleeping area. Your open kitchen is a great spot to prepare delightful meals or snacks while you visit with guests as they are comfortably seated in the living area or at the bar. Your circular great room opens to a wrap around deck with an outside table seating six. The view to the woods is fantastic, no matter where you settle. Downstairs are two newly furnished master bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed. Each of the master bedrooms has a full bath, and its own private patio. Like the upstairs deck, the downstairs patios are abundant with panoramic forest views. Between the two bedrooms is a small room with a twin fold out ottoman. There is also a separate laundry room with a large capacity washer and a dryer. A mesh wifi will keep you connected throughout the house. Additionally, a Ring doorbell system is in place for your safety. Parking is available in your private driveway or on the street in front of your house. Hiking is nearby on the Al Buehler Trail. We cater to guests visiting Durham and Chapel Hill, Duke patients and people with asthma and allergies, Even the most finicky would find comfort in this home!

Great home in a great location ! Minutes to Duke campus, Duke hospital and a short drive to anything you would need. The home was very clean, very well maintained and extremely comfortable. We literally felt at home within the first 24 hours. It was tastefully decorated with all new furniture along with brand new bath rooms and a new kitchen. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area. The host Sue was also phenomenal. Just a great all around experience. 10 out of 10 across the boards !

Loved our extended weekend here. The property had everything we needed and was a great location. Close enough to dining and entertainment but not in the middle of the city either. If we come back we would certainly look at this place again!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Sue Pohl

Host profile image
We live nearby and absolutely love the woods and all the hiking opportunities around. My husband is a psychiatrist and I have enjoyed being a therapeutic foster parent for many years. In my work as a host for our VRBO home, I want our guests to feel like they are important and that we do our very best to meet their needs and to be available if they have any concerns at all.

Why they chose this property

I love the abundance of trees here, and that the houses are a good distance apart, which afford guests a sense of privacy and the beauty of nature surrounding them. People are able to take walks in the neighborhood, and also hike in the nearby Al Buehler trail. If interested in lemurs, you can even schedule a time to see and learn about them at the nearby Duke Lemur Center. There are a variety of restaurants, as you can see from a family photo at one of the nearby restaurants. (Gary and I are the couple on the left side of the photo!)

What makes this property unique

Our property has been recently totally renovated, and we also have new top of the line furnishings and accoutrements. People often say that they are able to relax in our home; that it gives them a sense of peacefulness and tranquility.
