Chapel Hill Rental for Charming North Carolina Retreat

Description

This quirky, multi-level, ecological house is ideal for enjoying a getaway in the great outdoors. 5 wooded acres with beautiful covered terraces for al fresco dining and relaxing fast internet, books, and games. Only 15 minutes from Chapel Hill, UNC Memorial Hospital, Saxapahaw, and Pittsboro. Build a fire to warm your toes, sip a warm glass of tea in our picturesque living room overlooking the woods, cook a loving meal in the fully equipped kitchen, and relax! You deserve it. Unique & unmatched!

Our photographer described this place as "Cozy and super charming. Lots of windows and great art make it feel warm and inviting." There are more windows in this house than in most houses three times the size. Handmade feel with many artsy touches like original mosaics, wood, and slate floors. A wood stove for experienced fire tenders on cold days and evenings. This is a one-of-a-kind place that is unique and hard to find. Our guests often remark it's the most unique Airbnb they've ever stayed at, and often return many times with friends and family to make shared memories and celebrate special occasions.

NOTE: It has a very outdoorsy feel. You're likely to see squirrels, birds, maybe even a fox or raccoon. Summertimes are usually full of bugs — and they might find themselves inside your home. Cobwebs can appear literally overnight. For those weary of the great outdoors or nature's creatures, this place is not for you. We do not fumigate and choose to use natural pest management strategies whenever possible. The home is chemical and fragrance-free for easier breathing and better sleep.

The owners built the home by hand using recycled and repurposed materials. Enjoy the mosaics made from recycled tiles, the amazing re-homed picture windows, and stained glass, and notice that each part of the home was built with love and appreciation for the materials used. Rustic and eclectic, this eco-retreat is truly a work of art that stands in collaboration with nature.

KITCHEN: The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, spices, cooking oils, salt and pepper. There is a gas stove with 4 burners for those who like to cook. We also have an oven, microwave, and toaster oven. Full fridge and freezer — we have ice cube trays but no ice maker. French press for coffee, blender, and magic bullet, too! Organic coffee, half and half, and a selection of teas are also supplied for your enjoyment.

BATHROOM: The upstairs bathroom has a clawfoot tub and a rainfall showerhead. We recently added shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so that you don't have to bring your own.

BEDROOMS: The two bedrooms are located upstairs. Note that you must pass through one bedroom to get to the other. Both have their own doors for privacy. We also have a twin-day bed and a full futon downstairs for additional sleeping. (Please be sure to properly indicate the number of people in your reservation so that our housekeepers can be sure to leave you with an appropriate number of linens and towels!) Because this is an eco-retreat with sustainability and the environment at the top of mind, the linens are cotton and washed with natural, fragrance-free laundry detergent.

OUTDOOR SPACES: You've got a private outdoor patio upstairs off the bedrooms -- as well as an outdoor back-covered patio complete with fan and patio lights! Seating for 4 at the outdoor table on the back patio.

FIRE RING: Skilled fire tenders are welcome to use the fire ring and even help themselves to our firewood. Please be very careful if you decide to start a fire.

Guests will have the entire right-hand "house side" of the property including private covered outside decks, one on the second floor, and one out back. There is a second very small "en suite" Airbnb unit on the left-hand "Suite" side of the house. You may hear each other as you share a wall — and may see each other in the front shared parking lot. Otherwise, each space is private with no shared spaces.

If you'd like to book both places at the same time for a 3BR/2BA stay, click on Erin's profile to find the Storybook Retreat and book that instead. (Art, Beauty, Nature is the studio if you only need a small space for 2 people.) Our calendars are up-to-date, so what you see reflects true availability.

Caution to older and physically challenged people, including kids: There are stairs and many levels in this house. Not a good place for those wanting a single-level place. The only bathroom is upstairs unless you book Storybook Retreat instead (then you'll have one bedroom and bathroom downstairs and one bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs).

PET FEE: Well-behaved pets are welcome with a $50 fee (per pet) per stay. Please inquire about our pet policy.

Important: We are committed to protecting our properties which is why we've partnered with Know Your Guest, the leading vacation rental guest-screening provider. Please note that before your booking begins, you will need to verify your details and ID through Know Your Guest.

You will also be given the choice between paying a refundable deposit or buying a non-refundable damage waiver. We suggest you buy the damage waiver as this protects you in case you cause accidental damage during a booking.
