This 1949 Spartan Aircraft Trailer is a post-war slice of Americana. There’s just a feeling of connecting to the simpler things in life, and a connection to an era gone by. Detail and quality were at the forefront of manufacturing in the USA during this time at the dawn of the 50’s. It’s a surviving trailer, 80% original. Some modern upgrades and updating have been done but you are very much stepping straight into the past when you enter this Spartan and it’s rural residential surroundings.

Individual use enclosed locking Toilet and Shower Facilities are outdoors, in shared spaces. The common area also includes a Fire Pit, Picnic Tables, Gas Grill, and Laundry Room. The Back Yard setting has strung lighting above and walking paths. The camper itself has running water at the kitchen sink. Please remember you’re camping. the camper is equipped with a dual hot plate, Convection Oven, and small Refrigerator. Some closets and cabinets are empty for guest to use. We are working on restoring this survivor in between guests so it’s not perfect yet, but already has great vibes :-)

Parking is off street on a private drive that leads to the campers.

I am available 24/7 via text and phone call and can return contact fast unless performing on stage.

The neighborhood is Rural Residential meaning we are close to downtown Durham. but with the feeling of being in a rural area with neighbors a stones throw away. The neighbors are a wide variety of folks who are nice and helpful, but little to no interaction with the neighbors is likely. We are within a five minute drive to the Durham city center with theaters, breweries, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, live music venues, and all services. We are about 20min from RDU Airport, 15min from RTP, 10 min to Duke Hospital and Campus.

Uber is available, and Durham DATA bus line runs out front of the main house.

I’m sorry to have to announce this, but no animals can be in this space. I am very allergic to cats and dogs. I’ve had years of extensive allergy shots and been allergic my whole life with swelling eyes, sinus infections and shortness of breath due to spaces where animals have been. Thank you in advance for understanding and respecting my condition. I love animals despite not being able to enjoy them fully.
NO SMOKING! in or around the campers! NO ANIMALS! cats or dogs.

    This place is a dump. The property owner is an absentee landlord who cannot afford to keep the property maintained. My trailer had suffered water damage and there was a large buildup of mold inside the trailer. There were numerous sketchy electrical problems, I lost power for several days after a storm and all my food spoiled. The WiFi was non-existent and was basically a joke. I also had a health emergency during my stay and had to cancel my last of three months at the rental. The property owner told me personally that they would graciously give me a partial refund. Two weeks later and I have not received anything, which makes me feel like I was lied to. I do not recommend this property. I feel very lucky not to have contracted a respiratory illness or died in an electrical fire at this property. It was disgusting, dangerous, and unsafe. Do not trust the owner.
