About this property

Forest's Embrace: Near Duke U

Welcome to your cozy 2-BR Glamping Hideaway, just a 9-mile drive from RDU and Duke University. Nestled next to a charming 1-acre farm, this retreat offers a unique blend of nature and comfort, perfect for families and professionals seeking a serene escape.

Complete with a fire pit, the Haven is an ideal setting for family and relaxation under the stars. Small pets are welcome for a nominal fee of $10/day per pet, making it easy for your whole family to enjoy the experience!

Unless you require something, you will have 100% privacy in this beautiful home away from home.

There are many folks who walk around the neighborhood in this scenic, country setting.

Within minutes of both Research Triangle Park (RTP) and the Raleigh-Durham (RDU) airport. Friendly neighbors, with fast food restaurants within 5 minutes.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
Clean, great level of communication and all in all a great experience - they care about your safety, checks up on you and if things are good on a nice regular basis, making sure you have everything you need. A bunch of "extras" for you to use, such as towels, soap for showering, coffee, plenty of kitchen tools and whatnot + fridge and freezer.

The tiny home camper is absolutely beautiful! You can easily stay for a week (or longer!) and feel right at home. Communication is great and Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Able to work there remotely with no issues. Its in a quiet neighborhood, the beds sleep like a dream and enjoyed every minute. Would absolutely book every time Durham calls!

Very quiet neighborhood and very good location…I recommend anyone who has to go to Durham to consider this property for rental.

You will have full access to the entire tiny home camper and fire pit. You will receive a keypad code to come and go as you like!


Your camper is a thoughtfully-decorated Tiny Home - with a locking door for privacy and security. You will feel right at home among the lush bedding, and plentiful lighting throughout your home. A Keurig coffee maker and microwave are available for your convenience, and you can enjoy your meals at the table created by a local artist. The recently redecorated bathroom awaits just down the hall - and nature views greet you from all windows. Take your cup of coffee to the oversized, fire pit for a truly charming experience, enveloped with the sights and sounds of nature.

Every creature comfort you could need is right here for you:
-Free parking
-Toiletries
-Fresh linens & towels
-Fridge
-Microwave
-Toaster oven
-Keurig coffee machine
