Great neighborhood near everything
Charming cottage, very comfortable. Impeccably cleaned. Excellent location. Gorgeous yard. We sat on the porch at night and listened to a symphony of birds, frogs, and a big owl in a tree across the street. We stayed with our two dogs and they were happy. Note that the fence is a split rail, so for pets they will need to stay on a leash in the yard. Hosts were easy to contact and very knowledgeable about the area. Property is described as quirky. Don’t be dissuaded. The only thing we saw was that there are small elevation changes between some rooms and a bigger change to get into the bathroom with the large tub off the utility room. This may be a problem for people with significant mobility issues. Otherwise, this is a wonderful and well stocked place. They even had a dog bed and ball for us in the living room. I would definitely Italy stay here or with this host again.

Cozy little house!
This little house is just as described…cute and quirky but super cozy! Extremely clean with very comfortable master bed. Great little porch and fenced in yard for our small dogs. House had everything we needed.
We loved just thinking about the history of what this house had to say with the current layout and what it probably started out as.
Host was very responsive and checkin and checkout was a breeze. Loved our stay!!

Quirky and chic
Beautifully decorated, modern yet comfortable furnishings, thoughtful toiletries made our stay at the quirky cottage really nice. The deck was a nice sunny spot to relax, have our morning coffee , and watch birds. Fenced in yard was good for our dog to roam around - although we kept an eye on her. Neighborhood is quiet and nice to walk around - there is a park nearby as well.

Absolutely Adorable
This property is awesome. The location was just perfect as we were there for a college visit at Duke for my son and it was so close to everything. Andrea was great, very responsive and extremely helpful. Truly felt like a home away from home; so quaint and comfortable. Loved it!
