About this property
Art, Beauty, Nature: A Woodland Retreat
Relax in our bright and artistic guest suite — all hand-built with unique touches throughout. Private entrance and terrace, comfortable king size bed, heating and air conditioning, smart TV, small refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, kettle and coffee. The private patio overlooks beautiful secluded woods and includes patio lights & seating for 2. Great for getaways, rest!
15 minutes from restaurants, cafes and the charming small towns of Carrboro, Pittsboro, and Saxapahaw. 20 mins to Chapel Hill.
This unique and small space is perfect for relaxing getaways, stopovers on road trips, and visiting the area for weddings and concerts.
BEDROOM Stretch out in the spacious king bed, and watch TV from bed (we have a Roku Smart TV; no cable). An overhead fan helps keep the air circulating; and the mini split AC unit helps keep the place nice and cool in the summer time and toasty in the winter. Draw the curtains if you'd like to sleep in :)
BATHROOM This unique and hand-built shower features galvanized tin walls and overhead skylight! Great water pressure and plenty of hot water (we've got a tankless heater for on-demand hot water). Enjoy shampoo, conditioner, and body wash from Public Goods.
KITCHENETTE The small kitchenette features mini fridge, toaster oven, microwave, and hot water kettle. We supplies cups, plates, bowls, and utensils -- as well as organic coffee and coffee creamer as well as a selection of teas for your enjoyment. We just added a small bistro set, too, making it easier for you to enjoy a meal or sit down to do some writing or work on your computer.
NO LIVING ROOM, NO FULL KITCHEN Please note that this is a small space and that there is no living room, no full kitchen, and no large dining space. This space is best suited to short stays for guests who are comfortable with small spaces.
STEPS & OTHER THINGS TO NOTE Not for people who have trouble with steps. There are two steps up/down from bedroom. Chairs on private, secluded, covered deck for enjoying morning coffee, breakfast, snacks.
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.
10 mins to The Barn and 15 minutes to the Carriage House for weddings. 15 mins to the Ballroom at Saxapahaw, 20 mins to Cat's Cradle for music venues. 20 minutes to UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Chapel Hill hospitals. 40 minutes to RDU Airport.
PETS If you want to bring a pet please let us know so we can send you our pet policy and you can bring your pet(s) in a way that will be happy for all! Thanks!
You will have complete and sole use of the private guest suite and deck. The driveway may be shared with other guests.
