Incredible Experience!!

Mary's House was perfect! We were traveling for a doctor's appointment for our son and we reserved Mary's House. The house was so welcoming and had a great feel. It literally felt like home!! There was everything you could possibly need and the neighborhood was wonderful! We had a few neighbors wave and tell us hello while we were loading and unloading the car. The beds were super comfortable and the house was clean. We hope to stay again when we travel back.

Sweet and Comfortable House

This house was a great location for our visit to Chapel Hill and close proximity to the Friday Center. We enjoyed sitting on the back screened porch in the mornings and evenings. The house was well set-up with plenty of room for all of us to spread out and have some privacy.

Great repeat visit

This was our second stay at Mary's wonderful house in Chapel Hill. The house was very clean, and it had everything our family of five (plus dog) needed for a week-long stay. Grocery stores (Wegman's, Whole Foods) are close, as are a wide variety of restaurants. Mary was very responsive to all communications. Highly recommended.

Great House but double check your dates

Cute house in a great location near where we used to live during college. Really enjoyed working with the owner. She was well-acquainted with Chapel Hill and gave us some great ideas about hidden places to go. There was some confusion at the end of the stay. She told us we could have the house except for the last night (which was the 4th) but then on the 3rd she arrived to cleanup and we had to get a hotel for an extra night.

This house was beautiful! It was immaculately kept and a joy to visit. The wonderful yard was so inviting and we spent many hours on the large screen in back area enjoying family time.

The entire house was just full of antiques. The master bedroom had a shower that was maybe 3' x 3' and there clusters of dust under every bed. The wifi worked in the kitchen but not in any rooms or upstairs. I took pictures but they're on my camera. There was a crack in a picture in the downstairs bedroom. The owner was nice but I would never choose that place again.

We stayed here the end of June for a family reunion. Everything was great! The actual reunion was elsewhere, but we slept, showered, baked and did end-of-day activities here for 3 nights. The porch was perfect for a nightcap, conversations and table games. Neighborhood is quiet with lots of deer; we had a small dog on a leash. Grocery stores are nearby; very convenient! We woukd stay here again.

Wonderful stay!

Our group had a great time this rental! The screened in porch was wonderful, we used it every night and morning! The house was cozy, had great AC, plenty of sleeping room, and several good places to hang out indoors. The host was responsive, nice, and very accommodating. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in Chapel Hill and have a good size group with you.

Comfortable and pleasant stay

Perfect house for our visit with family who live nearby. The screened porch was ideal for family meals. The neighborhood was quiet, beautiful, very friendly neighbors, great for dog walking. We liked getting to meet Mary, the owner, and she explained how to work the tv, ceiling fans etc. Convenient to grocery stores.

Another wonderful stay

This is the second time we have spent over a week at Mary’s house and have had a wonderful stay. Lots of bedrooms, big backyard, fenced in porch, two living rooms and well appointed kitchen were all huge pluses for us! It is also very close to the booker creek trail which is nice to walk on. Mary is lovely and was very flexible and easy to get in touch with as needed. She has a pack and play and lots of toys for my kids. Will stay again!

Wonderful Home

Mary’s place is wonderful. Very spacious and homey. The kitchen had everything you might need, including spices and olive oil. And there were plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets for the 10 of us. It is comfy, spacious and really close to UNC.

UNC graduation

Great home to accommodate grandparents for UNC graduation. We LOVED the back porch, it's the perfect gathering space. Convenient to campus. If I could be so fortunate to have another UNC grad, I'd stay there again.

Very appreciative!

We appreciated being able to stay in Mary’s house for only one night as 5 bedrooms is a lot to flip for one night!! The house was very spacious, the living room was cozy and comfortable and perfect for our family to spend time together. The kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed! Thank you!
