About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peaceful, Private Woodland Lot, 7 Minutes to UNC/Downtown Chapel Hill.

Beautiful, colorful, very private 2-bedroom/2-lounge contemporary home in a small, quiet neighborhood. Very experienced Premier Hosts( Over 330 5-star reviews and overall 5-star ratings on 2 other VRBO properties - ids 2009670 and 3357859).

This is our primary home - not a bare-bones rental property - so absolutely anything you might need to make a real home-from-home is provided. We live in a beautiful and unspoilt area - yet less than 5 miles from the center of Chapel Hill, with easy access to Durham and Raleigh.

Quiet development in the woods, beautifully and comfortably furnished and fully updated recently. On 1+ acre, large, fenced, and landscaped lot with a back yard backing onto a small creek and 100+/- acres of quiet woodland with walking paths.

2 queen bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully updated kitchen, large dining room, large living room with vaulted ceilings. Additional separate lounge/entertainment room with HDTV and top-notch 8-speaker sound system. Slate, tile, acacia wood and Travertine floors throughout. Huge sliding glass doors leading to beautiful large sunny deck overlooking the back garden and woods.

The house is not overlooked from any direction, and there is no road noise. The garden shed has an additional seating deck with covered porch.

Lots of great artwork throughout the house(much of it original), CH & AC, gas-log fire in living room, entertainment system with 65" Sony UHD TV. Also 4 ceiling speakers in the dining area and kitchen - great for music and movies.

Large, en-suite primary bedroom with queen bed, one queen guest room, additional lounge/entertainment room with office space, elliptical, and a 55" HDTV with 7.1 sound system to distract you from your workout. There is also a Bowflex weight machine in the primary bedroom.

Absolutely no parties or large gatherings, under any circumstances (maximum occupancy 6 persons).

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.
