We had another Airbnb set up a year in advance and they canceled last minute- panic set in!! Brad and his family came to our rescue with this place. Absolutely wonderful for our Duke graduation weekend. We canoed in the pond behind the house, bonded on the glorious screened in patio, and spent solid family time with all our extended family and our graduate. Brad set up the place and met all our needs and surpassed our expectations. The house is set off the road in a very private and quiet setting yet close to everything we needed and most importantly Duke University. We whole heartedly recommend.

The house was just what we were looking for. We were in town for a graduation so although we dont usually do Airbnbs, the house was perfect for the occasion. Well appointed with everything we needed and wonderful setting and outdoor space. Just beautiful. And a great location. Brad was super nice and helpful and getting into of the house was quite easy. Overall, staying at house like this is so much better than being at a hotel. Much more fun for the entire family/group. Highly recommend.
