Ed and Mitzi's place was perfect for our tour of colleges in the Triangle. It's close to the highway and a Publix supermarket. It had just about everything we needed, and when we asked for something they dropped it off in a gift bag! Great stay -- recommended!

This is 5 stars and it starts with the owners who are so incredibly kind and supportive! They put up a Christmas tree and decorated so lovely. This place is perfect. A quiet cul de Sal where neighbors walk around. The parking can easily hold 6 cars. We felt right at home. Our Christmas celebration was perfect. Extra clean and comfortable with comfortable furniture and bed. Very appreciative. Close to everything. Would stay here again.

Last minute stay

This was a last minute stay in the sense that my husband had a medical emergency at Duke and Mitzi graciously let me stay at her VRBO (she had an opening). I’ve stayed at her other VRBO (the Greene Rabbit) and this one is just as awesome. It’s so quiet here and you can sit on the front or back porch and just enjoy listening to nature. Her VRBO’s are always spotless, feel like you’re at home and the communication is outstanding. If I ever have a question or a need, Mitzi always responds back to me pretty quickly. I highly recommend her places to anyone that need a nice, clean, homey pace to stay .

Wonderful home

My family was in town for a weekend trip to Raleigh. The house was just as described, very clean and with all the essentials. Although we spent most of our time out of the house, when we were there it felt like home. Mitzi was a great communicator and made our stay worry free. I recommend this as a family friendly place to stay!

Great spot

We really enjoyed our stay. We liked the TVs in each room. The backyard and porch were great. There were 5 of us total. My daughter, her 2 teenage sons, her fiancee and myself. There was plenty of space inside for everyone to have privacy, as well as get together and have some fun. We played foosball and cards one of the nights. Mitzi is a wonderful host, too! She messaged us on the 2nd night of our stay to make sure we were enjoying our stay and didn't need anything. Thank you so much! Highly recommended 🙂

Lovely time in Durham! We were staying close to other family and there was ample space to host the family for a meal and hang out time. The Foosball table was used quite a bit! I would have loved a more fully stocked kitchen with baking and cookware, but we had a lovely time in Durham!
