About this property

3 bed/2 bath Carrboro ranch, convenient to downtown!

Come stay at “Cheeky in Carrboro”, our renovated 3 bed, 2 bath single story house, easily accessible by car, bike, bus, or just walking to everything in Carrboro and Chapel Hill. Come for a weekend Carolina game, a show at the Cat’s Cradle, or stay for a week to visit friends and family.

Fast Wi-Fi (386 Mbps) | Fire Pit | ~2 Mi to UNC | Kid Friendly | Fenced-in Backyard

Cheeky is in one of the local Carrboro neighborhoods built in the 1950s; we renovated the house in the last couple of years, updating the kitchen and bathrooms. We've set the house up for short- and medium-term stays. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, and cookware, so you can cook and relax just like at home.

We provide ground coffee, tea, and oatmeal, and many child-friendly amenities including highchair, kids' dishes, beds, pack ‘n play, toys, games, books, and movies. Enjoy grilling on the back patio while sitting by the fire pit in the fenced in backyard or shooting hoops in the driveway.

More information: Carrboro is affectionately known as the “Paris of the Piedmont”. You can easily walk, bike, drive, or take the free bus to downtown Carrboro or Chapel Hill. Carrboro has several great coffee shops, 2 of which are within a 5-10 minute walk from the house. The area has many great locally-owned restaurants and pubs, and 2 grocery stores less than a mile away. The Carrboro Farmer’s Market is available Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings with local produce, baked goods, and crafts. Wilson Park and MLK Park are both a 5-10 minute walk from the house.

Getting around: Carrboro is a very walkable town. If you’re driving, parking is free in downtown Carrboro. Chapel Hill has many town parking lots (for a fee). Take advantage of the free bus service (7 days a week). The bus stop is just around the corner from the house. Use the NextBus app or check out the route maps we keep at the house.

About the host

Hosted by Gretchen Van Vliet and Chris Guffey

Host profile image
I work in global health and my husband works in real estate and with bikes. We have 2 children (16 and 19) and have lived in Carrboro, the "Paris of the Piedmont", for more than 20 years. We are right next door to Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have an adjunct appoint in the Gillings School of Global Public Health and occasionally teach a class in global health.

Why they chose this property

My dad is a snowbird from Michigan and lives in the house during the winter months and we make this house available the rest of the year as a short- or medium-term rental in the Carrboro/Chapel Hill area.

What makes this property unique

This house is easily accessible to all of Carrboro and Chapel Hill, walking, biking, by car, or by free city just steps from the house. Carrboro is the funky neighbor to Chapel Hill, with lots going on, including live music, restaurants and bars, and tons of outdoor activities like mountain biking, road biking, and hiking. My husband works at the local Trek Bike shop so ask us about good trails for mountain and road biking!
