The house is ‘cuter’ than the photos suggest. It’s cozy, kitchen is well equipped, location great, AC works well (outside temps were 96 when we were there), quiet neighborhood. A good value. I’d come back!

My husband and I stayed for two nights to explore the area -- cute little cottage! Ideally located near UNC, restaurants, and shops and in a quiet neighborhood. Brad communicated with us frequently to ensure all our needs were met. House was clean upon arrival and would stay again if we're ever in that area.

My family stayed in the cottage for about a week and on numerous occasions said they could imagine living there. The house was perfectly situated in town near all the amenities we needed. It was clean and had everything to make our stay comfortable and cozy. Highly recommend this rental for anyone coming to the Chapel Hill area!

Super cute cottage conveniently located in Chapel Hill. It even had a welcome committee of a mother deer with two babies greet us when we arrived. :D Property owner is very helpful and responsive, and it was perfect for our needs.
