The accommodations were perfect for our short stay. The home was clean, beds and bedding were very comfortable, kitchen was we equipped and suited our needs. The location was super convenient to the college and walkable to Franklin Street. Highly recommend. We will stay here again.
Great spot for my family of 4 in Carrboro. Nice to have working AC and laundry. It’s not like in the center of Carrboro but easy walking everywhere (less than 10 minutes into downtown Carrboro and a little over a mile from the center of UNC campus).
The Heel House met expectations - it was clean, well equipped and comfortable. Parking was safe, laundry worked well and air-conditioning was perfect. It was easy to communicate with the hosts. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants in Carrboro. It was an easy drive to UNC - it was nice to stay away from the bustle of Franklin Street but be near enough to venture into it.
This house is close to Franklin street and everything is within walking distance of you choose to walk. Neighborhood seemed quiet and safe. We had plenty of room for parking our SUV. The kitchen is stocked with everything except a crockpot. A crockpot would be nice for days you are out exploring and no time to cook. There were plenty of towels and the washer and dryer worked well. The beds were comfortable. I would stay here again.
This home was a great convenient location to Chapel Hill andCarrboro. It was easily walkable to anywhere we wanted to go. The home allowed pets, which was very helpful for us. It was very clean and well-maintained. The owners were extremely responsive.
Fantastic home, conveniently located and walkable to many nearby restaurants and attractions. The home was well equipped, comfortable and spotless! We would gladly return and definitely recommend staying here to others.
Nice clean place, walkable downtown, beautiful area, wonderful host. The only downside was the beds were too hard for me

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the quiet location, clean space, and amenities. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
The Heel House was cozy and comfortable for our family during our stay. The house is equipped with everything you would need. The neighborhood was quiet and the owner was very communicative.
This home was perfect for my son and I when we came to visit Chapel Hill to tour UNC and some other nearby campuses, as he starts to make decisions about college. The location was perfect: walkable to great shops/restaurants in Carrboro, basically adjacent to West Franklin Street, and a short drive to the UNC campus. It was extremely comfortable, kept immaculately clean, and had all the little touches that made it feel like we were staying at home for the week. We'll come back here anytime we get back to UNC,
We rented the house for my daughter to do a college tour of UNC. The house is in a great location walkable to many places. We felt safe in the neighborhood and the little house was very cozy. Everything we needed was available and the check in was very easy and quick. The owners were always responsive and friendly. While we were there we had an unexpected medical emergency and the owners were kind enough to offer us an extra night at a discounted price if needed. We would book here again.
