This is a lovely little getaway. It was just the right size for my daughter and I to stay while she moved back into college. It is about 10 minutes easy drive from UNC. The listing is very thoughtfully stocked with odds and ends you might need. The host was lovely and extremely easy to communicate with when we had any questions. I highly recommend this cozy spot.

Shontelle and her daughter were a pleasure to have.
We our family really enjoyed our stay at the Snuggery. The location was quiet, yet close to downtown Chapel Hill. The apartment matched and exceeded the online description. It was very clean and roomy- perfect for a small family, couple or traveling business person. The bed was comfortable, HVAC worked well and there was plenty of hot water. We did not use the kitchen, but it was stocked to enable simple meal prep. Communication with the owner was excellent. We look forward to staying here the next time we visit Chapel Hill!
Great apartment with everything you could possibly want or need. Comfortable beds. Washer and dryer. Very clean. Treats in the fridge. Very convenient to UNC.

Thank you Laura. I hope you will return.
Best wishes.
The Snuggery is a beautiful, comfortable place to stay while visiting Chapel Hill. Jeanne is a wonderful, welcoming host, who takes great pride of The Snuggery and cares about your experience. We would definitely return again.
The Snugglery was exactly as described with privacy, a full kitchen including an air fryer, and Jeanne is an A-plus hostess. Jossie is the house cat that you can't help but love as you walk to your studio. The kitchen could use a garbage disposal but other than that, it has everything you need and is close to UNC.

I was delighted to have Lesley stay!
I wish that I could have a garbage disposal but it’s not possible under the town’s permitting process.
We had a wonderful stay for almost a week. The apartment is clean and well equipped for a stay with family. Our host was amazing and extremely helpful. The location is in a nice neighborhood close to everything. Can wholeheartedly recommend the Snuggery for anyone visiting the Chapel Hill area.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I do feel that we have a very special corner of Chapel Hill here! All the best to you and I hope to see you again.
While I only stayed one night, I fell in love with the Snuggery and the King’s Mill neighborhood. Jeanne is a gracious and thoughtful host and has really thought of everything. This place was spotless, well-appoined, and so comfortable. What surprised me were the beautiful hardwood floors and the expansive bathroom. I totally enjoyed my stay and hope to be back and have the opportunity to explore Morgan Creek and the Elephant Rock Trail which are just a short walk away.
Lovely in every way! This is a cozy space with every amenity you need for a short or extended stay. My daughter and I had plenty of room and found the queen bed to be exceptionally comfortable. We were able to do laundry, cook meals and watch tv. This is a very convenient location with easy access to UNC and surrounding areas. I enjoyed a nice walk around the King's Mill neighborhood which was so serene and beautiful.The host is absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed getting to know her during our stay. She was quick to respond and was incredibly helpful with any questions we had. Will stay here again and again!

Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is a unique little corner of our town. We're located on a circle so there are no cars except the neighbors' passing through so it's very quiet here. We abut the Botanical Gardens so we have lovely walks through the forest and down to the creek. It's a lush, established neighborhood that is only a mile from UNC but you'd never know it as it's so quiet and forested.
What makes this property unique
Our home is on lovely piece of property that affords our guests a little patio with a view of the yard and a quiet haven for relaxing. Inside, the 500 square foot space has a living area, sleeping area, full kitchen, large bathroom, and a reading/TV nook where your children can watch old DVD's and sleep in the "Harry Potter space" under the stairs. It's a clean, bright, and charming space for our guests.
