Designed for groups who want more than a place to sleep. Pour drinks in your own prohibition-era speakeasy, and settle in for a movie in the dedicated theatre room, all without leaving home! New construction with seven beds (including a king Koala sofa bed in the living room), designer finishes throughout, a screened patio, and a private fenced yard. Five minutes from Duke, close local dining, and built to make your stay genuinely memorable in the Bull City!
Bedroom 5: The Speakeasy Suite
Sleep in the speakeasy! Our prohibition-era lounge converts into a private first-floor bedroom with a queen memory foam Murphy bed that folds down for the night. Blackout curtains keep it dark for sleeping in, and the room closes off with its own door to the main living area. A sliding glass door opens directly outside. By day, fold the bed away and enjoy the bar, lounge seating and smart TV.
— Guests have full and private access to the entire home across all three floors: all five bedrooms (Bedroom 5 is the speakeasy suite, with a queen memory foam Murphy bed and blackout curtains), the movie theatre, screened patio, and fully fenced backyard.
— Parking is easy: the property features a private grass-paver driveway accommodating two to three vehicles, with well-lit stone steps leading to the front entrance.
— Ample additional street parking is available directly in front of the home for larger groups arriving with multiple cars.
— Smart locks throughout mean keyless, self-guided arrival at any time with no need to coordinate with anyone.
Nestled just north of downtown Durham, Duke Park is a charming, tree-lined neighborhood known for its blend of historic character and urban convenience.

Guests staying here enjoy a highly walkable and centrally located base, with quick access to downtown Durham’s vibrant dining scene, coffee shops, breweries, and cultural attractions. You’re just minutes from places like Ninth Street, Brightleaf Square, and Duke University, while still tucked away in a peaceful, residential setting.
Duke Park offers the best of both worlds: a relaxed neighborhood feel with easy access to everything Durham has to offer. It’s ideal for guests looking to experience the city like a local while staying in a quiet, welcoming area.
By car (most convenient):
Driving is the easiest way to get around Durham. From Duke Park, you can reach downtown Durham in about 5 minutes, Duke University in 5–10 minutes, and Research Triangle Park or Chapel Hill in roughly 20–25 minutes depending on traffic. Most destinations have easy parking, including garages and street parking downtown.
Rideshare & taxis:
Uber and Lyft are widely available and typically arrive within minutes. They’re a great option for quick trips to restaurants, nightlife, or events if you prefer not to drive.
Walking & biking:
Duke Park is very walkable, with tree-lined streets and sidewalks connecting you to the neighborhood park and nearby cafés and shops. Cycling is also popular, and Durham has growing bike lanes that make it easier to reach downtown and surrounding areas.
Public transportation:
GoDurham buses serve the area with routes connecting Duke Park to downtown, Duke University, and other parts of the city. It’s a budget-friendly option, though schedules are less frequent than rideshare or driving.
