Summary: "Durham Retreat" is a perfect label for this place. We needed a place to stay while I underwent treatments at Duke. Quiet neighborhood, clean, and close to the hospital. The outdoor deck was a real plus. Highly recommend.

Summary: This house has a very comfortable feel. It's located on a quiet cul de sac with easy access to everything in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. We liked it so much that when our plans changed, we extended our stay. The wooded backyard and deck were inviting but it's mid-February, so we'll have to take advantage the next time we visit.

Summary: This property is great. There was comfort in all the little details the homeowner thought of. From a fully stocked coffee bar to cotton pads in bathroom to having Christmas decor for the season. The location was close to all the things we needed to get to. Thanks for a great stay while traveling for the holidays.
