We loved the area. The home was very clean, cozy and comfortable. The back yard and deck areas were amazing . Enjoyed sitting outside watching deer. Kitchen was well stocked. Would definitely book again.Gina D. Indiana
Three generations of family members came to Durham for a weekend of kayaking, paddling our 16th WNC lake in 2 years. We could not have found a more perfect place to stay! My adult grandson had to cancel out but he would have loved the room above the garage as his own special little nook! The home was neat and tidy, warm and cozy. The ideal spot to tuck in at the end of our day. I could see myself loving this home as the perfect, quiet spot to retire! My little dog enjoyed our morning and evening walks down to the Eno River along the Mountain-to-Sea Trail. Each morning we were greeted by 2 does and a group of triplet fawns. We have stayed at many VRBO rentals over the years. This, we believe, was one of our top 3!! Our last day of kayaking was rained out. We plan to return to the Durham area next spring to float the waters of more lakes in the area and stay here again!
Very cute setting, back deck and back yard were very charming, spent a lot of time out there. Biggest concern was overwhelming musty/moldy smell, very prominent in bedroom above garage.
Lovely spot, quiet and cool in the shade. Really enjoyed the screen deck with the water feature. Owner was prompt clear and kind - what more could you ask? Hope to return!
Good place. Kitchen had lots of cooking utensils which was nice. Also lots of bath towels and trash bags, dishwasher soap, paper towels which makes it nice for our stayCommunication was great neighborhood is quiet
Our family gathers in Durham for several days to see old friends before we leave for the beach. This is our absolute favorite place to spend these days. The beautiful inside and outside areas are all so lovely, and occasionally some have made the trek down to the Eno River. This year is perhaps the 5th time we have stayed here!
Very clean property. Lu was very responsive for the one or two questions we had during our stay. The location is conveniently located to lots of shopping, etc. and we loved the hiking trail behind the property.
Quiet neighborhood. We went to the Life and Science Museum and it was the perfect location. Great for kids and infants. Nothing laying around that was breakable for the baby to grab. The host was helpful. Porch was really peaceful.
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!
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!
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.
This property is wonderful. We loved the feeling of being in the deep woods. Path going to the river and great outdoor seating and setting at the house.When we visit our son and his family next time, we will be looking to book this home!
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!
Lovely home in Durham, NC. with beautiful landscaped outside area. Sister lives in Chapel Hill and was only about a 20-minute drive. Enjoyed the visits from the neighborhood cats.
Luâs place is probably my favorite VRBO Iâve stayed in. The home is comfortable and cozy and she has thought of every detail you could think of. Cooking there for my family of 6 was a breeze as she had every tool, seasoning and appliance that you could possibly want and a dining table large enough for all of us. The house backs up to a state park with so much breathtaking wildlife. We must have seen 15 deer while drinking our coffee on the patio. Thereâs also access to trails along the river throughout the park. The master bedroom had the perfect bed. The perfect softness with plush pillows and warm blankets and itâs huge. We got the pleasure of meeting Lu during our stay and she was a lovely, genuine and warm person. We loved Scooter, the friendly neighborhood cat that would greet us each morning. The neighborhood is super safe and close to everything you need while somehow also feeling private and like youâre in.the middle of a forest. Our younger two kids felt very cool and independent staying in the garage apartment and I loved that itâs accessible from the inside of the main part of the house so that I could still supervise them. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and found the patio area to be just as comfortable as the inside of the house. I already want to come back!
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.
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!
The home was in a good location & in a quiet neighborhood. It was clean but needs some repairs and upgrades. The front porch light didn't work, paint is peeling on the hand rails leading up to the front door. In the master bath the shower doors didn't close all the way, grout was missing on some of the floor tiles, some of the bath towels had stains & pillows in the master bedroom were flat & uncomfortable. My daughter received multiple bug bites while sleeping in her bed & found a beetle in her bedding on our last day.
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
