Wonderful home

My family was in town for a weekend trip to Raleigh. The house was just as described, very clean and with all the essentials. Although we spent most of our time out of the house, when we were there it felt like home. Mitzi was a great communicator and made our stay worry free. I recommend this as a family friendly place to stay!

Great place to stay in Durham!

We needed a place to stay in Durham while my husband had surgery and this place worked out great for my family. It's very clean and the beds were super comfortable. We liked that all the bedrooms had TV's. Nice yard if you have children or fur babies. Host was very easy to work with and responds quickly to questions.

This is 5 stars and it starts with the owners who are so incredibly kind and supportive! They put up a Christmas tree and decorated so lovely. This place is perfect. A quiet cul de Sal where neighbors walk around. The parking can easily hold 6 cars. We felt right at home. Our Christmas celebration was perfect. Extra clean and comfortable with comfortable furniture and bed. Very appreciative. Close to everything. Would stay here again.

This property was perfect for our short visit. We were in town for a family holiday gathering at our nieces' house which was only 15 minutes away. The home was clean, well equipped, comfortable, and in a quiet neighborhood. I would recommend it to others, and I would most certainly stay again.

Great space

Lovely time in Durham! We were staying close to other family and there was ample space to host the family for a meal and hang out time. The Foosball table was used quite a bit! I would have loved a more fully stocked kitchen with baking and cookware, but we had a lovely time in Durham!

Hosting friends

The house is on a quiet street with plenty of parking. A nice new Publix is right down the road should you need anything. House is roomy and nicely appointed. Kitchen was well supplied and conducive to cooking for a good sized group. Would rent again for my annual get together.

College tours & golf

We were a group of four - two adults and two teens - touring colleges and playing golf. This property was exactly as described and suited our needs perfectly. Convenient to anything you might need and each of us had our own room. A little off the beaten path, but a short drive to any of the local attractions and schools. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a clean, quiet place to stay in Durham!

Awesome home!

The house is the best - it has everything you will need. It is such a beautiful home and we definitely felt "at home". The spoken word art gave us life everyday. The layout of the home worked perfectly for us. On top of this, the neighborhood is quiet, a short distance away from Publix, and a short drive to Walmart (we had to pick up a couple of things). I'm grateful for the amenities because that means I didn't have to drag a big tote full of things.

Great spot

We really enjoyed our stay. We liked the TVs in each room. The backyard and porch were great. There were 5 of us total. My daughter, her 2 teenage sons, her fiancee and myself. There was plenty of space inside for everyone to have privacy, as well as get together and have some fun. We played foosball and cards one of the nights. Mitzi is a wonderful host, too! She messaged us on the 2nd night of our stay to make sure we were enjoying our stay and didn't need anything. Thank you so much! Highly recommended 🙂

Ed and Mitzi's place was perfect for our tour of colleges in the Triangle. It's close to the highway and a Publix supermarket. It had just about everything we needed, and when we asked for something they dropped it off in a gift bag! Great stay -- recommended!
