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.

We truly enjoyed our time at this property! It’s a great nature spot. The house is both clean and spacious. I wish our stay could have been longer!

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!

Super cute, spacious, clean, and quiet. Felt comfortable with space and temperature! Plenty of linens and throws to keep you feeling right at home and prepared for anything you need. Quick access to gas station, grocery store, and a handful of tasty places to eat. Staying again soon!

Beautiful house with a beautiful dock. It’s also in a quiet part of the lake—but still very close and accessible to things. We had a 10/10 experience and will definitely be back. Also - the bed in the master bedroom is so comfortable!

That was a good place to stay real private and beautiful views and real welcoming town area I definitely stay again on this beautiful place

We had a wonderful stay at Michael’s home! It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Michael was extremely responsive and a gracious host throughout. If we’re ever back in the area, we’d absolutely love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

The place was exactly what we expected. You won’t find a more responsive owner than Glen. He came from Raleigh on Memorial Day weekend to unstop one of the toilets. Very open to checking in a bit early and also checking out late. Will definitely 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.

We were in town for a long weekend of wandering so this was home base for our stay. It had all the modern amenities and the charm of the early 1900s, including original hardwood floors and soaring ceilings. As the photos show, there's plenty of space to relax, both inside and out. Definitely a unique property. Our, who was very responsive before, during and after our stay, included small touches that make a visit just a little more convenient, especially if you arrive late like we did. Flexible bedside chargers, plenty of coffee pods for the next morning, and a few beverages in the fridge - not necessary, but much appreciated. A very enjoyable visit.

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 literally THE BEST host I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying with on Airbnb! He is friendly, helpful, and fantastic. His place is so inviting and interesting to stay at. Tidbits and cool relics all over his space. And if that alone isn’t enough, his sanctuary of a backyard garden will be what sets his place apart from the rest. His place is now one of my favorite saves that I will definitely try to book again in the future should I ever be in the area.

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.

Ann's place was quite lovely and comfortable, and the courtyard is peaceful and beautiful. I only wish I was staying longer so that I could enjoy the place a bit more.

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.

Absolutely wonderful. When we arrived, Stacey was working with her quail. She greeted us warmly. She seemed happy to chat, but I also got the sense she would understand if we just wanted to head in and relax. The place was lovely and had even more than we needed/expected - quail eggs (and instructions) in the fridge, snacks and fruit, and even an electrolyte mix (perhaps because I had asked about places to run). There were comfortable beds and fluffy towels. It was in a very quiet street, but still close to the freeway, grocery stores, and places to eat. Cannot recommend highly enough. Stay here and you will be glad you did!
