Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great visit to Durham The place was very comfortable with spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and everything needed to make our stay great. Won’t hesitate to return with the family when in the Durham area. ##### Chris B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy S. Jun 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was awesome and perfect for our needs. You can tell that Brad takes pride in the home. It was clean and thoughtfully equipped. We needed to extend our stay and Brad was very pleasant and easy to work with. We will definitely stay there again. ##### Amy S. Stayed 10 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenn L. Aug 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home close to downtown! Loved our stay, the house setup is perfect. Quite roomy and comfortable. Would definitely stay again on a return trip to Durham! Perfect for our weekend getaway. ##### Jenn L.

May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location in Durhamfive star Nice size home immaculately clean everything works walking distance to the art gallery with several restaurants and a play area that had tons of kids playing in football and kicking soccer balls around really great time great place. Highly recommend. ##### Steele P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael C. Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The Bull Pen, as Brad's place is called, was great for our visit to Durham to celebrate our younger grandchild's graduation from high school. The open floor plan made gathering easy and enjoyable, but we all had the privacy of good-sized bedrooms when we needed it. Check-in was a breeze. Brad's instructions for arrival--even construction areas to avoid on the way in--and his timely responsiveness to all queries were stellar. ##### Michael C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim N. Oct 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Visit With family in the Durham area but no one with the space for 3 extra people and a dog - this was the perfect stay - 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and spacious group areas gave us the space we needed to stretch and relax and be comfortable. Pet friendly made the fur baby happy to be able to be with us on vacation - full kitchen and appliances a huge plus and washer and dryer even made one less thing to do when we got home A++ and highly recommended ##### Kim N. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth E. Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Exactly as advertised Perfect spot for long weekend with family. Clean, comfortable, roomy home for four adults and two GS dogs. Mostly quiet, older neighborhood with several homes undergoing renovations. The revitalized Golden Belt campus is a fun spot at end of the block for food, drink and entertainment (walking distance from the house). We enjoyed Saturday’s International Food Festival in downtown Raleigh. Host Brad was helpful with directions due to current road construction and promptly responded to questions. Highly recommend this wonderful home. ##### Elizabeth E. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bill s.
