Kid-friendly holiday rentals in John H. Kerr Reservoir

This is a nice place, with all the amenities. It is quiet, peaceful, and comfortable. We enjoyed our time there and would go back again. Thank you Taylor and Dylan for having us.

Our stay here exceeded our expectations. The property is absolutely gorgeous and the pictures do not do it enough justice. Once inside, the home felt much larger than anticipated and had a warm and cozy feel to it. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and I can’t recommend a stay here enough.

4 of us guys came down for a bass tournament, was a great place to kick back relax after the tournament. Nice porch to sit on looking at the water talking about the days. Also plenty of room for both trucks and boats. We will definitely be booking again for the next tournament. Thanks so much!

House was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay!

No issues at all, everything was as described and clean. Larry was very friendly, made us feel at home and went out of his way to make sure we had everything to enjoy our trip.

We enjoyed our stay for a mini vacation to the North Carolina Motorsports Park for the weekend. The home was clean and made us feel right at home! Very easy check in and the host was quick and responsive. The home had everything you needed. With us headed to the track, it was a little difficult to back the 24ft trailer in the driveway (to stay off the grass) but all around the home and host was fantastic! thank you for a great stay!

Thanks guys! Your place was the perfect spot for my family to take a little break from the hustle and bustle of life! Thank you!

To sum it up, this is by far one of the nicest homes available that my family has stayed in on Hyco. This is the type of home you would expect to see on HGTV or Magnolia Network. This home does not feel like a rental home but more like a true getaway. The main road cut through a cattle pasture. We were greeted with roaming cows on our way in our out. We enjoyed this. Everyone in the neighborhood was friendly and there on Lake Time. You will spend the majority of your time outside if the weather permits. Between the large dock to enjoy the water, and the fire pit to watch the sunset, there will be little time spent inside if you come to enjoy Hyco. The house was in immaculate condition. It was furnished with everything one would need. Kathryn provided very clear and detailed instructions for the property. She also helped provide additional information for us trailering our boat there. Kathryn was a very gracious host. I hope to stay there in the future. Best Airbnb on Hyco.

Haley and Sam were solicitous, responded quickly to all my messages, and even thoughtfully offered a late check-out, which I greatly appreciated. Their place was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. If you're looking for a convenient spot with easy walking access to Duke University, this is definitely the place to stay! I recommend their place and would absolutely return.

Kathryn's place is cozy, quiet and very clean. Perfect place is you are visiting UNC. Kathryn was very responsive and kind. Highly recommend.

This was a perfect home-base for me on a recent work/play visit to Durham—quiet and safe neighborhood; tidy, well-appointed kitchen; minimalist but sufficient space in which to read, relax, etc., and short walks to downtown & Duke’s East Campus.

Stephen is a kind and caring host! Right from the time of checking in, he provided us a great tour of the space and gave us a glimpse into his very interesting life!! The garden is absolutely gorgeous. I did my bridal portrait in his garden and got some phenomenal backdrops! We were greeted and loved upon by Susan and David (the cats) and Boomer (the poodle) throughout our stay!! The airbnb is clean, tidy, and has amazing wall art! We especially liked the Schitt's Creek references throughout the apartment! Stephen not only provides necessary kitchen and bathroom items, but actually goes above and beyond in making the place comfortable - just goes to show how considerate he is!! Our stay was too short but we are likely to return soon as this airbnb is a perfect place to relax and enjoy a peaceful time!

If you're traveling solo, this is an ideal crash pad. It's small and spartan, and you'll need to drive to get anywhere you want to go, but it's clean, comfortable and quiet. There are nice, small touches that lend a homey feel, and the one window AC unit does a good job of cooling the entire place, even when it's above 90 outside. I'll definitely look to stay here again when I pass through Durham.

Great location - way nicer than the average downtown hotel. AirBnB had a very well equipped kitchen compared with usual. Comfy furnishings. Historic Building has great vibe. Spacious. Great host.

This place was even better than the pictures, perfect for a wedding weekend in Durham. We walked to Grub for breakfast and it was so delicious that we went back for dinner. Very cute neighborhood, very comfy beds, very clean airbnb!

Great stay with a rustic experience. Loved hearing the rooster when i arrived and the frogs at night. The Magnolia tree smells amazing. Definitely off thr beaten path and a great get away for fast paced city folks. The studio had some many detailed touches and was very nice!

Apt. was conveniently located, clean, and comfortable. Antonio was responsive and kind. Could not have asked for more.

Really cute place in a great area with super nice neighbors. Stay was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook. Bed was comfy. Bathrooms were clean.

loved our quick stay. host was super responsive. would definitely stay again! thank you for hosting us!

Love Pearl Mill Flats! Great location so close to downtown Durham - even able to walk to a Durham Bulls game. And of course love the salt water swimming pool!

Cute and comfortable place, close to downtown. Great for a short stay in Durham!

We had originally booked another location, but this was more convenient and a lot less. It was very nice and well worth the money. Elliott was very proactive in terms of instructions, but everything went so smoothly we really didn't need to contact him. We would stay here again.

Great place near a ton of fun and interesting places in Durham!

As others have said, the location here can’t be beat, especially on weekends when the parking deck right behind this unit is free. We easily and safely walked to restaurants and the Durham Bulls game. Rachael’s unit is exactly as pictured and we were comfortable inside. The only negative is also an echo of other guests’ comments: outside noise is easily heard in the bedroom. Rachael helpfully provides foam earplugs and for us the train was no issue - the last one was ~midnight and the first at 7am so we were good. But it was graduation weekend for many local universities and for sports fans both the Carolina Hurricanes and the Durham Bulls won their home games. There was lots of celebrating going on until very late/early. We’d happily stay at Rachael’s place again but probably with an eye for what’s happening in town.
