Summary: Enjoyed the stay and would definitely stay there again if we are in Durham. Loved the woods. Our favorite house feature was the skylight in the living room that lets in diffuse, natural light. Our least favorite house feature was the smallness of the kitchen. Although there is a dishwasher, it is portable and we considered it too much of a bother to set it up. Bedrooms had lots of space and the table was able to accommodate guests. We were able to have 6.
