About this property

Cottage with Yard, Mins to Duke

  • Our inviting home is located in a family-friendly, walkable neighborhood. Start your day on the front porch watching the sun come up with your favorite beverage, then end your day on the back deck with a great meal and time by the firepit with smores for dessert. Inside you'll find everything you need. A well-stocked kitchen with plenty of prep space, a comfortable couch to sink into and watch TV, read, or play a game. Both large, ample bedrooms feature closets and spacious dressers to unpack, as well as ceiling fans ensuring you enjoy a full night's sleep. We truly love our home and have tried to maintain the original character where we can but not skimp on modern upgrades. We're also located about 5-6 blocks from Northgate Park and Ellerby Trail if you need some outside time. This cottage really has it all and we hope you enjoy your stay!

    If you would like to stay longer than 28 days, please contact us directly.

Perfect for a Cozy Weekend

Thank you to our hosts for such a great stay. The property was clean, cozy, and just like the pictures. (We loved the fire pit!) The hosts were communicative, left us easy to follow instructions, and made us feel welcome. Would stay here again!

Clean and comfortable space

Inside was clean and comfortable, check in was easy. Only thing I would say is the backyard needed some TLC. Other than that, great stay!

Duke visit

This was fine for our 3 night stay to drop granddaughter off for a conference at Duke. On our last night there was a storm that brought a lot of rain so we did have some water bugs show up which was a bit unsettling for three women who don’t like bugs but other than that it work good for what we needed.

Great Place!!

The house is wonderfully clean and welcoming! We were truly surprised with the amenities!! The house had all kinds of extras we did not expect. We felt safe in the home. The internet worked and the TV was logged into Disney which was cool!! The lighting was good, both interior and exterior. The directions for check in/out were clear. Communication with the host was very responsive! The water was hot and the towels were plentiful! The sheets were crisp and clean! I’d stay here again!
