Escape to nature, unwind and relax

Fully renovated 1970s home on preserved historic homestead only 3 miles from downtown Chapel Hill, with groceries and restaurants a mile away.

Unwind and explore acres of sprawling meadow, private walking trails, and stocked fishing pond. Fire up the Big Green Egg, Wilmington propane grill or Solo stove as you enjoy stargazing, wildlife sightings & more...

We like our guests as comfortable as we`d want to be! We only purchase quality linens & household products, and leave abundantly stocked dry goods and common amenities as a rule--so you can focus on the important stuff.
