Nature's Refuge: Near Duke U

This 2-BR Glamping RV is just a 9-mile drive to Duke University as well as the RDU airport. Ideal for families navigating a medical journey at Duke. This unique RV blends the allure of minimalist living with the necessities of modern comforts. Stay connected with Wi-Fi, enjoy entertainment on Roku TV, and whip up meals in our fully-equipped kitchen. Small pets allowed at $10/day/pet.

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.

Very clean and homey! Management was attentive and made it clear to reach out to them for anything. Only about 15 minutes from crab tree mall, it was nice to be on the outskirts and away from all of the people and traffic in raleigh!
