A recent review -


An absolutely amazing property, easily one of our favorite places we’ve ever rented! Our host Sherri was incredibly kind and professional while creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.The home itself is so charming! We couldn’t get enough of all the beautiful artwork, whimsical details, and thoughtful touches throughout the house. It was absolutely perfect for our group of friends, and we truly appreciated how much care went into making the space unique. The outdoor seating areas were probably our favorite part. We spent so much time together enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen was also well equipped; two of our guests cooked us an amazing dinner, and they had everything they needed. There were several amenities we didn’t end up using, but simply having them available was a nice touch.And, of course, the cherry on top is the incredible North Carolina wilderness surrounding the property. Being tucked away among the trees and nature was truly indescribable. The home’s gorgeous windows bring the forest right into the space, giving the entire cottage an almost mystical, fairy-tale feeling.Sherri, you have completely outdone yourself with this property. We loved every minute of our stay, and it will always hold such a special place in our memories. Thank you for creating such a wonderful retreat and for making our stay so memorable!

Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened porch with a view of boulders and trees while watching the birds and deer.
This house is located 7 miles south of Chapel Hill on 5 acres of mature woods with boulders and a stream. It is a custom-designed home with all the fixtures, colors and details chosen by the artistic owner.

The steep gables make it look like a 'storybook' house from the outside, while on the the inside they form a high vaulted ceiling making a star shape above the loft. The olive green color makes the house blend in with nature and it looks like it has always been there.

The house is Cottage and Arts & Crafts slyle, but also includes Victorian and contemporary elements. Many windows and a large screened porch look out on a private wooded view with many boulders scattered about. The pillars of the front porch are trees that were cut from the land.

The main floor consists of an open kitchen/livingroom space with a gas log fireplace. The ceiling of the kitchen and entryway is paneled with oak boards from the trees cut from the site. There is a master bedroom with queen size bed and entrance into the shared bathroom. The other bedroom has a day bed with trundle and a desk. The floors are 5 inch Chestnut Oak boards.

Upstairs is a loft, bathroom and bedroom with queen size bed. In the loft is a built-in desk, 5G internet throughout the house. Cell service is weak but with WIFI calling turned on your devices will work fine.

This is a cozy home for those who desire to be away from the hustle and bustle of town. There is central air and heat and ceiling fans in every room. There is a 40' flat screen TV with satellite and a bluray disc player. There is a bluetooth speaker and a small boom box for playing CD's with radio.

There is a lovely stream which forms one border of the property just a few minutes walk from the house, either through the woods or on the road. It is a steep walk, but fine for anyone in shape. There is a flagstone patio with chairs to relax in, and a campfire area.

This home is in a 150 acre community of 23 homes, each on 5 acres, giving all privacy. The road into the community is gravel and winds up and down on the side of Boothe Hill. The 225 foot driveway is a climb up to the house.

This property is totally secluded and peaceful yet only minutes away from shopping and conveniences. Within 2-3 miles are 2 grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacy, liquor store, thrift shops, Dollar Store, gas stations, car care and more. In 10 minutes you can be in either Pittsboro or Chapel Hill.
