We really enjoyed our stay at this very nice cottage in Durham! The home was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and perfect for our Thanksgiving visit with our son. While the cottage is near a neighborhood, it still feels somewhat secluded and peaceful. The balance of privacy and convenience was even better than we expected.The owner was great to work with. She was very responsive, helpful, and low-key. She checked in after we arrived and answered questions quickly, which made everything easy.Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we would definitely stay here again!

Our stay was fantastic at this adorable cottage. We were happy to have such a cozy spot to spend some recovery time between outings and doings. It's close enough to downtown Durham to keep you able to get out and explore, but far enough away that it's quiet. The beds were comfortable, the linens were nice and I was exceptionally happy for a full size coffee pot instead of a Keurig. If we're ever in the Durham area again we will absolutely look to stay here for our visit.

As Advertised

The home was cute and quiet, just as advertised! We enjoyed our stay over Easter weekend. Loved being so close to the Eno. Just had some internet trouble that is difficult to remedy on a holiday weekend.

Pristine and private

The house was exactly as described. It has everything you need and comfy beds. While the address and the actual location are a little off, if you follow the directions shared when you get the welcome email, you should be able to find it a block away from the Maps location.

Lovely area

The cottage is on a great little street, off the road. It’s quiet and has lots of space outside. It was very clean and it is well appointed. There was a misunderstanding about something, and I could not reach the owners until the second day I was there in the mid afternoon. That was unfortunate. But by the third morning, it was remedied and the next two days were fine. I’d recommend clearer communication and availability when someone is checking in. Otherwise, it’s a very sweet cottage and would be a great place for anyone to stay for a little while in exploring Durham.
