Spacious forest oasis

This forest oasis surpassed all of our expectations. First, all common rooms were LARGE - with plenty of lounging space for our entire party. There were plenty of comfortable seats when we ate together at the table. The couches were large and comfortable and encourage lounging/napping/game play. The large atrium room had many separate places, so people could interact separately but still see the entire party.Second, the house was gorgeous. The interior had the appearance of a hotel lobby, with large plants and beautiful windows allowing you to feel as if you are outside while still inside.Third, there were plenty of bathrooms, which is not always the case in large rentals. All of the bathrooms were well-stocked with premium supplies. Having stayed in many rental homes, we appreciated having multiple extra rolls of toilet paper and soft, high quality hand towels in each bathroom.Fourth, there were plenty of supplies for the kitchen. Ample paper towels and soap with refills, plenty of trashbags so we didn't feel like we had to cram each bag full, and plenty of recycling paper bags. It felt like staying in someone's home that wanted you to enjoy your stay.Would absolutely book this home again, and I will encourage anyone I know visiting the area to book here. You are four minutes from multiple restaurants and a great grocery store, and you are 10 minutes from downtown Chapel Hill (which has its own plethora of excellent restaurants and grocery stores). Fantastic!

Family baby shower

Different family members came into town to meet up for a baby shower in Cary. The house was perfect for us 4 couples and two grandchildren. Jackson, aged 4, had the best time playing with his small monster trucks on the rocks inside the house. It was so magical and the house itself is really unique. Beds super comfortable and the house had everything we needed.

Amazing Again

Second time staying here - this time with 3 friends for a quick weekend getaway. The place is perfect for friend/family get togethers. 10-15 min from Franklin St. 20-25 min to Duke Campus. Safe, beautiful neighborhood. Comfortable and spacious. 10/10 - will be back!

Perfect!

We were looking for a home that would accommodate our immediate family and also provide a venue for my daughter’s baby shower and this home was absolutely PERFECT! The home easily accommodated our 30 guests and everyone loved the home and the setting. Every guest wanted a tour. Everything in the home was also PERFECT. It was well stocked and had everything we needed for a large gathering. The bedroom arrangement was ideal. A Colorado snow storm stranded some of our family, but the rest of us were very comfortable. I highly recommend this home for a family gathering or a small event. It was truly an architectural gem.

Perfection

If you’re looking for a gathering place and privacy… look no further. So convenient to anything in the Chapel Hill area and just flat out enchanting. The architecture and nature are incomparable. Our group truly found this home to be magical in many ways. This might seem over the top, but, we’ve been VRBO users for many years and we’ve never gotten it as right as we did with Erin and Evan’s home.

Architectural Gem: Family Retreat for Entertaining

Our family's Christmas celebration at this VRBO property in Chapel Hill was a delightful experience. Tucked away atop a scenic bluff, this property combines architectural elegance with natural tranquility. It was ideal for entertaining our local and out-of-town relatives, with its large, fenced yard offering stunning 360° views of the surrounding hardwood-covered hills. The hosts were exceptionally gracious, ensuring our privacy and comfort while being readily available for any assistance, down to providing recommendations for a local massage therapist. Located just minutes from downtown Chapel Hill, it offers a blend of seclusion and accessibility, making it a highly recommended choice for anyone seeking a distinctive and memorable stay in the area.
