COZY SUN FILLED HOME / MODERN VILLA NEAR DOWNTOWN

10/10 Excellent

"Great property. Very clean. Great beds"

The Durham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I have ever been to.. period world wide. Nice rooms, modern era decor, great in house restaurant with superb breakfast at reasonable price and coffee bar. Best cortado I ever had. All staff were friendly and super supportive. Parking in lots street or garage within easy walking distance. Many restaurants and bars in the area. Reasonably safe area but there are panhandlers on occasion. Room had adequate closet space, excellent bathroom and shower. Quiet at night. Super comfy bed. I’m a coffee nerd and they offer fresh ground gourmet options brought to your door each morning if you choose the night before. No hotel I’ve ever stayed at offered this. I liked it so much I returned on a return visit to the city. No pool but workout facility. Highly recommended if you travel in the area.,"

Stylish Durham Getaway Near Duke / DT - Fun Backyard

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay, Amazing host very accommodating! VERY ACCOMMODATING & UNDERSTANDING. I definitely recommend hands down."

Modern 4-bedroom house, TV in bedroom,big fence yard, Pet stay free,Lighted yard

8/10 Good

"The house was very nicely updated and large. The rooms were large and the house was very clean. The fenced in backyard was great for the dogs. The owner allowed us a later checkout due to the timing of the baseball game we had our last day, which was extremely helpful. The neighborhood was much more run down than expected, and the sirens often made it hard to sleep."

10/10 Excellent

Tapin7 Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"The house was clean and well stocked. House rules were clearly posted. The beds were comfortable."

Sunny Sage Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"We had an exceptional stay during a challenging time. Our daughter underwent surgery at Duke University Hospital, and this cottage proved invaluable—both as a serene refuge the evening before the procedure and as a restorative retreat during her early recovery. The proximity to the hospital eliminated unnecessary travel during a medically sensitive period, while the thoughtfully appointed interior and meticulous upkeep provided genuine comfort when we needed it most. The aesthetic warmth of the space created an environment conducive to rest and recovery. We would not hesitate to return should circumstances bring us back to the area."
