Beautiful Unique Gem in the Woods
We had a great stay at this beautiful house full of natural light and art just a few minutes from downtown Chapel Hill. Everything you need at your finger tips. Best experience yet using VRBO. Thanks Alex & Tristi

Quiet, peaceful, and close enough to town
We stayed here for two weeks while our own house was undergoing renovation. This place was the perfect place to stay. The house and the neighborhood are peaceful and quiet, with big lots and a large amount of undeveloped land (with trails and small streams!) The hosts have a perfectly clean and welcoming house, with tons of artwork, photos, and skylights giving lots of sunlight. The kitchen was well-equipped, the living room extremely comfortable, and the back deck was a great place to hang out on sunny days (particularly since front and back yards were well-landscaped including a small pond!) The hosts themselves were great to deal with and communication was perfect. Carrboro and adjoining Chapel Hill have a lot of good restaurants just a short distance away; I specifically recommend La Montana for the best Latin-influenced meal I can remember.

Awesome Location!
My wife and I loved our stay here. Our 2.5 year old German Shepherd absolutely loved the backyard and the trails in the woods behind the house. The location is perfect - it's really close to Carrboro and UNC's campus and it's also extremely peaceful/quiet at night time. The house was extremely clean, and check-in was a breeze. Zero complaints, would stay here again in a heartbeat the next time we are in the area!

Tranquil Respite
Alex and Tristi’s home provided the peace and quiet needed while in town for a family funeral. The house was clean and comfortable- the neighborhood was quiet and safe for our twice daily dog walks- Alex and Tristi were incredibly kind, accommodating, and communicative. Would definitely recommend to those needing a cozy pet-friendly spot.

Even better than expected
The house and grounds are even better than shown on the website. Everything was immaculate and clean and the house was stocked with everything you could possibly want. The home is beautifully decorated with all manner of comfortable furniture and interesting art. The bed was especially comfortable. If you're a cook, you'll find the kitchen has everything you'll need to fix anything from a quick breakfast to a gourmet dinner. The back deck and yard are spacious and useful for all sorts of activities. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood yet offers a lot of privacy. It's also convenient and quick to get to Chapel Hill and Carrboro where there are all types of interesting shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Alex and Tristi are great hosts: very friendly and responsive. We will gladly book again when we return to the area in the coming months.

A delightful, private home so close to town!
Our second stay at this well cared for and immaculate home was so relaxing. The home is richly decorated with fabulous art throughout. The kitchen is a dream with new, high-end appliances and all the cooking gear you could ever need. Love the newly remodeled master bedroom bathroom. Eat at the dining table while gazing out a window wall at the totally private Garden of Eden style back yard. Deer wander around, hawks cry, and goldfish splash in the pond. Lots of art in the gardens as well! Communication to/from the owners is fast, efficient and friendly. You'll feel right at home in this lovely house that is just minutes from the UNC Chapel Hill campus, Franklin St in downtown Chapel Hill, and the funky, eclectic town of Carrboro. Many places to dine in the area from swanky to pub like. Grocery shopping and gas also just minutes away. Parks nearby as well. Highly recommend!

A gem among the trees
With the house set back among clusters of trees, I felt perfectly secluded yet an easy drive to Chapel Hill and the greater Triangle area. This house is personalized with so many add-ons, from the well-stocked kitchen to the multiple art works as well as color aesthetics both inside and out, it is clear that the owner takes great pride in home ownership. The backyard deck overlooking a well-maintained yard of varying grasses, a small fishpond and shed, leading into the deep woods enhances the location with peacefulness. I look forward to my stay again in the near future.

Exceeded expectations!
We had a great stay at this beautiful property - it's hidden away on a very private, woodsy site - but it is literally 7 or 8 minutes from downtown Chapel Hill. The description and pictures don't really do it justice - it's beautifully updated and decorated - lots of interesting art-work and lighting - very well-stocked and appointed(great gourmet kitchen), and it was scrupulously clean(a big plus for us!). The back deck and gardens surrounded by woods are a great place for morning coffee, glass of wine or dinner - we spent a lot of time out there! The owners were helpful and responsive, and provided lots of advance information about the property and the local area, which we appreciated. All in all, this is just a very comfortable and peaceful place to be - we will definitely be back for a longer stay!

Beautiful home in a super peaceful neighborhood!
Seriously this place was amazing, we saw whitetail deer as we arrived and sat on the deck in the afternoon watching the Fall colors. The back deck is super private and there were hawks & songbirds all afternoon, the wifi reached the little pond area just off the deck so finishing up a few work things felt like a private retreat. The house is colorful & decorated with unique art pieces and oversized comfy couches. Amazing TV/theatre system and gas logs in the living room (it was warm but I can imagine in winter this is extra cozy)- made some popcorn and settled back for a movie in the evening. Beds were comfy (we didn’t use the pull out sofa) and bathrooms etc all well appointed. It’s just a few minutes into town, check out the Carrboro Farmers Market on Saturday morning if you get a chance. The owners, Tristi & Alex were easy to communicate with (I couldn’t find the spice rack and needed to borrow a cinnamon stick… it’s on the wall labelled “spice rack” - duh) and had thought of everything we might need. We will be back for our next trip to Chapel Hill for sure!

Lovely woodland home
We had a very relaxing time here, sitting out on the deck and trying to identify all the different birds. The mature garden is magical framed by huge mature trees, makes you feel secluded although the home is in a neighborhood and very close to town. The house is beautifully-decorated and very comfortable. Cooking in the gourmet kitchen was a real treat - it has everything you might want or need. Tristi and Alex were very helpful and responsive hosts - they provided lots of background information and helpful suggestions, which we really appreciated and allowed up to make the most of our time. Overall just a great experience - one we hope to repeat soon!

We had a great stay in this beautiful home - it's very nicely updated, furnished and decorated, well-stocked, and equipped with just about anything you might need and very clean. Great deck, private garden and woods all around, and very convenient for Chapel Hill town. The owners were very communicative and informative - they seem to have thought of everything - we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
