BR Speakeasy Near Duke + Theatre | Sleeps 14

Designed for groups who want more than a place to sleep! Welcome to The Markham Maven, a brand-new luxury home in Durham's charming Duke Park neighborhood.

The experience you won't find anywhere else! Pour craft cocktails in your own prohibition-era speakeasy, then settle into plush seating for a movie in the dedicated home theatre. Cook together in a chef's kitchen and spill out onto the screened patio into a fully fenced private backyard. This isn't just a place to stay, it's the centerpiece of your trip.

The space | Five bedrooms with seven beds, including a king Koala sofa bed in the living room, sleeping up to 14 guests comfortably across three floors. Designer finishes throughout, room-darkening shades in every bedroom, and a dedicated workspace make this equally suited for group getaways, Duke family weekends, corporate retreats, and milestone celebrations.

Bedroom 5: The Speakeasy Suite | Sleep in the speakeasy! Our prohibition-era lounge converts into a private first-floor bedroom with a queen memory foam Murphy bed that folds down for the night. Blackout curtains keep it dark for sleeping in, and the room closes off with its own door to the main living area. A sliding glass door opens directly outside. By day, fold the bed away and enjoy the bar, lounge seating and smart TV.

Why guests love this location | Tucked into Duke Park, one of Durham's most beloved residential neighborhoods, you're just 5 minutes from Duke University, 10 minutes from DPAC, and walking distance from local favorites like Ninth Street's restaurants and coffee shops. Brightleaf Square, the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and downtown's breweries and dining are all within easy reach.

Getting around | Uber and Lyft arrive in minutes. Free private driveway parking for 2-3 vehicles plus ample street parking directly in front for larger groups.

What's included:
- Prohibition-era speakeasy with bar setup and mini fridge
- Private home theatre with projector and Bose sound
- Chef's kitchen with full appliances, cookware, and coffee setup
- Screened patio and fully fenced backyard
- Washer and dryer
- High-speed FIBER WiFi
- Smart locks for keyless self-check-in
- Pet friendly

Good to know | New construction (2025) with premium finishes. No smoking anywhere on property. No parties or events beyond registered guests unless approved. Quiet hours after 10pm. Maximum 14 overnight guests. Check-in 3PM / Check-out 10AM.

I would give 10 stars if I could! The Markham Maven was the perfect place for our 11 college friends to reunite. Lindsey was the perfect host giving us easy instructions and answering all questions. The house was spectacular! Everything we needed was there. We loved the Speakeasy, screened porch, spacious bedrooms, home theater (great for movies and sports) and especially the open kitchen. Our group traveled from Danville, VA, Wilson, NC, Columbia, SC, RVA, DC and England to have a mini reunion. We enjoyed a show at DPAC and visiting Duke Gardens. The house was so clean and comfortable we enjoyed eating every meal there and having coffee on the porch. We were sad to leave, but we will definitely be back!

What a fantastic place to stay! The home was beautiful, exceptionally clean, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need for a home away from home. There were plenty of paper products, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the fully stocked laundry room was a huge bonus for traveling families! The host was responsive and easily accessible, and both check-in and check-out were seamless. There are also some fantastic restaurants nearby!My only feedback is very minor (and admittedly nit-picky!). The water pressure in the primary bathroom sinks could have been better, although the shower was perfectly fine. Also, a TV in the main living area (the open kitchen, dining, and living space) would have been a nice addition.That said, I've stayed in many VRBO properties, and this one is easily at the top of my list! If I ever need accommodations in the Raleigh/Durham area again, this will absolutely be the first place I check for availability. Highly recommend!
