The house was very clean. The beds were comfortable. This was a perfect spot for a large family. The host was easily accessible. The kids got to roast marshmallows in the fireplace. Overall we had a wonderful stay. Thank you.
I was there for a UNC reunion with a group of friends and the place worked out perfectly. Nice quiet spot (except for the roosters in the morning) with plenty of room. All the facilities were great.
Spacious house in a peaceful location. Fantastic master suite, well-equipped kitchen, working fireplace in the living room, large deck, excellent communication with host. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!
Property was as advertised and more. Four large bedroom with 3 ensuites. The kitchen, dining and family rooms were large and provided enough space for all to enjoy.
Close to everything and yet you feel like you’re in the woods! Deer came through the yard every day! House is HUGE. We’ve stayed at both houses and they are very nice!
Over Christmas, we had seven people staying in this house and there was plenty of room. All the rooms were spacious and clean. There's a lot of light in the rooms and the area was quiet. It did feel like a retreat with the ability to just relaxed.
Great house. One of my children is in a wheelchair, so having the ramp at the entrance was a huge plus. All one level on the inside so that worked out, too. Fenced in yard a big bonus.
Secluded and quiet, located on a pruvate drive nestled in the woods. But also close enough to UNC campus and major shopping centers. This is an ideal location for anyone visiting the University, hospital, or the area. The four full bedrooms and bathrooms gives everyone ample space, and the kitchen, dining, and living rooms are spacious to get everyone together. The hosts are super nice and communicative. Overall a great experience.
Our group of 10 - siblings and spouses - thoroughly enjoyed our reunion gathering. The house was spacious & clean, providing more than adequate comfort for sleeping, cooking, and eating together - the latter both inside and outside. The location is a treasure tucked away in a quiet setting, yet helpfully very close to UNC and downtown Chapel Hill. The "agent" was extraordinarily helpful, prompt with communication, and supportive in ways that lent comfort to our stay.
We had nine family members plus a dog stay at this location over a long football weekend. The space was surprisingly big and the fenced in back yard for the dog was great. We enjoyed our time together largely in the kitchen area and on the back porch. Bill was super responsive and the check in/out process was very easy. It was about a ten minute drive to the UNC campus. The house was as advertised, thanks for sharing it with us.
Property owners are lovely: great with communication and very responsive. House is spacious well-appointed. Location is quiet and a wonderful getaway in a wooded area. Lots of deer sightings, which was fantastic!
