A Peaceful Sanctuary for Elon University Visitors
Perfect for Commencement, Homecoming, or Special Events

Welcome to your home away from home—just 10 minutes by car from Elon University, located in a serene and quiet neighborhood. Whether you’re visiting for Commencement, Homecoming, family reunions, or other special occasions, this beautifully maintained house offers comfort, privacy, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Property Highlights

  • Two spacious guest rooms, each with two full-size beds (sleeps up to 4 guests comfortably)
  • Shared living room, dining room and kitchen with the host (light cooking only; fridge available for storing drinks and food), but the host won’t bother you
  • Spotlessly clean and well-equipped home
  • Wi-Fi included
  • Linens and towels provided
  • Guests receive a key for independent access
  • No smoking, no pets, no parties

Privacy and Safety
Your host, Professor Ricardo Mendoza, a faculty member at Elon University for nearly 18 years, will stay in a separate corner of the house the whole time, ensuring your privacy and comfort. He’s happy to provide local recommendations and help with anything you may need during your stay.

For your security, the property has three outdoor security cameras (driveway, front door, back door)—no cameras inside the house. The cameras are connected to Alexa inside the house

If only one room is booked, the second room will not be rented to other guests—ensuring your stay is completely private for you and your family.
