About this property

Peaceful, Private Woodland Lot, 8 Minutes to UNC/Downtown Chapel Hill.

Beautiful, colorful, very private 3-bedroom contemporary home in a small, quiet neighborhood. Newer listing from very experienced Premier Hosts( Over 300 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. 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, third queen bedroom 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.

About the host

Hosted by Tristi and Alex

Host profile image
We (Alex and Tristi) have lived in the lush, green woods of North Carolina since 2000. In 2007 we began spending wonder-filled time in the Blue Ridge Mountains and fell in love with it! In 2015, we bought Vrbo cabin listing "Moo Meadow" but didn't open up this family retreat for rentals until 2020. In 2023 we bought a neighboring cabin, "Perfect Getaway" to enjoy and share. When we are not in Virginia or North Carolina, we are hiking and exploring from "Urr Getaway" on the Solway Firth (the Scottish Riviera!) in Kippford, Scotland. We are grateful to be able to enjoy these wonderful places, and grateful to be able to share them with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Our home has been lovingly decorated and maintained for our enjoyment, and yours. We've stayed in many "empty shells" over the years, without warmth, welcome, or character. We don't want that for ourselves, and we don't want that for you. We feel the woods we live in are magical! Our goal is for you to have that same experience.
On the very important but less romantic side of things, we have completely updated our home between 2016-2022, so everything is in excellent working order. You'll find a new gas log set, a new AC/heatpump, new washer and dryer, new kitchen appliances; fridge, oven/stove, microwave and dishwasher, new roof, new skylights, fresh paint.... and on, and on.

What makes this property unique

Because this is our home, it has everything you will need. Whatever you find here, you are welcome to use. Need a band-aid? Forgot a charging cable? A stamp? Scotch tape? You get the idea.
We expect you to bring your own groceries, of course. But, forgot a can of beans? As with anything else we have that you might need... If there's one in the pantry, help yourself!
