Summary: Lovely, cozy place. Great hosts. Would stay again for sure.
Dana Apr 12, 2025 02:21:56 AM
Summary: I absolutely loved my stay! The space was clean and was the perfect balance of a small space with all the amenities I needed. I loved the small art touches and the pullout was surprisingly comfortable (I'm always weary of them - but this one felt the same as a true bed!). The cottage also has the cutest walkway with little solar lights that turn on at night - with the creek on one side, it feels quite magical :)I enjoyed making coffee in the morning to see the morning light come up, walking and running on the Ellerbee Creek trail (I love the loops of off the paved trail that go deeper into the forest - highly recommend!) and walking around the neighborhood at night (so many people are about walking, so it feels very safe, I love the houses in the area, and I scored a great book at the little free library!). This is a fantastic spot, and Ty is super helpful and a great host!

Summary: #ease #elegance #comfort #practicality #special touches #cleanlinessEverything about my stay allowed smoothness, comfort, ease. Simple things like comfortable chairs, all amenities in working order, cleanliness... allowed me to rest and engage in a weekend of rest and learning (at workshop), easily prepare meals, sleep well. The deck chairs are comfy and fun - they rock! The hosts strike a respectful balance of checking in and offering helping, answering questions, while not at all intrusive. Traveling solo, it was comforting as well as supportive. #biggratitude

Summary: We had a wonderful stay the owner was very helpful and reached out to ensure we settled in nicely. It is a lovely tiny home away from home!
Kaulie Oct 31, 2024 01:28:42 PM
Summary: We stayed in this tiny home while we were in Durham for a friend's wedding and really enjoyed our stay! Our hosts had the home set up for us so that when we finally landed after midnight we had a cozy and comfortable place waiting, and the location is incredibly convenient for exploring the greater Durham area. Would happily spend another weekend here!
Mark F. May 14, 2024 12:20:31 AM
Summary: Where to begin! The property is beautiful and backs up to a nature trail. There’s ample parking too! The tiny home has the greatest porch to watch the wildlife. And once you go inside, you have all the amenities one could ever ask for. The bed is super comfortable. They have chargers and a TV. They even have a kitchenette! The bathroom is also quite roomy for a tiny home. I could not ask for a sweeter host who makes sure everything is right! I will most definitely be back to stay here in February for a wedding. Overall a 10 out of 10!
Tina W. Feb 13, 2024 01:19:59 AM
Summary: This property and its owners are amazing! We got in late and they had the lights on for us. It is a beautiful little house that fit our needs perfectly and was so quaint, I will be staying there on my next visit to Durham!
Catherine P. Oct 23, 2023 11:01:28 AM
Summary: The property was quiet and peaceful and the hosts were very helpful and responsive. Close to Duke Hospital, shops and dining on Ninth Street, and downtown Durham. The neighborhood is charming and great for long walks.
