This property was amazing! The backyard space was super conducive for fellowship with family/friends. Home was clean, well-stocked and spacious. Great location for walking to local coffee shop or grocery. Would stay again and recommend.
Second time staying at this property and it didn’t disappoint. House is well maintained and in a great neighborhood. The owner must appreciate food because the kitchen is stocked with great cookware, appliances, and gadgets. They also put a lot of effort into making the back yard nice…. covered patio, nice grill, clean landscaping, and fire pit. We look forward to staying here the next time we’re in NC!
This place is a gem. Check-in instructions were spot on! I have never accessed a vacation rental and gotten connected to WiFi so efficiently. Plenty of extra towels, blankets, and an amazingly well stocked kitchen! The only thing better than the property was the communication of the owners - incredibly prompt and very flexible! I can't wait for an opportunity to stay here again!
A lovely renovation to an historic mill house. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades were first rate. It is clear that the owner has an impecable eye for details, such as oversized fluffy towels, comfortable bedding and cozy area rugs. The yard is gorgeous and fully fenced in, with attractive and functional lighting. The kitchen was well stocked. I can't say enough about how pleasant our stay was
House conveniently located to UNC campus. We used Uber to get back and forth on game day. House exactly as pictured in listing. Had everything we needed for weekend stay. Neighborhood was quiet. Parking adequate. We would definitely stay again!
What a lovely find! The listing was accurate but actually much nicer in person. The fenced in backyard was so pleasant. I could totally live here. Awesome decor and lots of nice touches, like the dry snacks. It would have been nice to have a binder w/ printed instructions so I don't have to log in, especially for the TV which was confusing, and for local restaurant recommendations. Would definitely stay there again.
We spent 5 great days at this lovely house in Carrboro which was just perfect for four of us and our two Goldens. The house is welcoming, spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and decorated, with great attention to detail. The kitchen has great appliances and utensils and is so well stocked - it was a pleasure to cook there. Our dogs loved the fenced back yard and it was also easy to go on very pleasant walks close by. The house is very well situated, close to Carrboro center, shops and restaurants and also just a few minutes drive from the UNC campus. The owner was very helpful and responsive and clearly wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay there again.
The house is beautifully updated and the back deck and yard is an oasis. Our dog loved the yard. The bedrooms are cozy and the bathrooms are modern. I especially liked the walk-in shower. The kitchen has anything you would need including spices, although we didn’t taken advantage of them. The main room is a great place to hang out with the large screen tv. Also the entire place has modern lighting that can be dimmed. Check-in and out was easy and communication with the owner and contact person was good too. The snacks and fresh flowers were a nice extra touch. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Stayed four nights here, this was the third place we found to stay during visits to Carrboro over the past few years. Although each place has been very lovely, we feel that this one was definitely a) the best location near town, b) the best back yard and fire pit and c) the decor was a fully personal and artistic sharing of the owner's eclectic, hygge aesthetic. For us, it was reminiscent of how we love to decorate, accentuated by a warm, inviting color palate. Everything we needed for our stay was available, just right for our stay with two small dogs. There is now a roof covering the back deck (complete with heater) and a delightfully enchanting sculpted rock garden path in the back yard that were not pictured of the current rental photos. All in all, the home was better than expected for us and we hope to return. Thank you!
Charming, very well appointed house in a quiet neighborhood just a quick walk to Lanza’s cafe. Great area for runs and walks. Jesse had excellent communication with us, and the whole stay was enjoyable. Huge shout out to them for a real cooking kitchen, well stocked, with great appliances and cookware! Won’t hesitate to come back.
Great property in a great neighborhood. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay!
The layout is ideal for a small group, and the location couldn’t be better. The fenced-in backyard was perfect for our pup. This was our second stay, and it was just as wonderful as the first. We hope to return again!
Jesse was a great host! The house was perfect for our stay! Very close to great restaurants, shopping and just a quick ride over to chapel hill. We will stay again! We loved it!
This is the cutest little, big cottage! So comfortable and really convenient. Will definitely stay again. Want to travel back to Carrboro just to stay here. Whoever decorated did a fantastic job. We didn’t use the kitchen, but the backyard was amazing. The back patio was comfortable and relaxing.
This is an amazing home. The host called me back immediately when I had an issue. The kitchen is awesome! Backyard is awesome! I highly recommend this place!!
