Simply wonderful

What a pleasure to stay in this historic mill house, beautifully updated with a gorgeous kitchen and bathrooms. We walked on the Greenway every day, even in the blazing heat. We also walked through the nearby neighborhoods. We could see downtown Durham on the skyscape; we were just minutes away.

Duke Graduation Visit

The house was perfect. We had five people, but six would fit comfortably. It was bright and clean and well appointed. Really could not have been much better. And, in a long weekend full of activities, it was great to have a home base that was so close to everything.

A little to modern…..

Nice kitchen that was well stocked. Comfortable beds. VERY uncomfortable living room furniture and low quality, older linens in king and queen bedroom. Lack of art on the wall makes the house feel unfinished in furnishings.
