This was a perfect house for our weekend visit with our UNC student granddaughter. The location was close to campus. We used it as our base station as we explored the areas for day trips and dining experiences.

Lovely setting close to campus and hospital Large kitchen with lots of counter tops. We were here for a football weekend. There is a fire pit which we did not have time to enjoy. The beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. It was dog friendly and on a future trip we will bring our dogs. It was decorated along the walkway with Halloween decor. So much fun.

A wonderful small home for a quick get away! The property is beautiful and very private feeling. Very clean home just as we expected. Large kitchen - everything we needed to cook all our meals there. We will be back.

It was a perfect, secluded spot for my small family to gather and enjoy each others' company while being close to everything Chapel Hill has to offer. We enjoyed walking by the road leading to the house and I felt completely safe doing this at all hours. The kitchen was will stocked with appliances and utensils, and the wooded view out the window made me happy. There was plenty of easily accessible parking. The host answered all of our questions and was most helpful. My husband said, "Good job" in finding such a nice place for a few days rest.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Grandma’s house while visiting UNC! It’s a beautiful place to stay, and the owners were wonderful!! If you are staying in Chapel Hill, I can’t recommend this Vrbo option high enough!!

Came to visit friends, but now want to return just to hang out!

Our stay at Grandma's house was only for 1 night, but it was fantastic. We LOVED the setting in the woods. Super quiety and laid back. Very restful after a lot of driving. I only wish we could've stayed longer. :-)

This review is based on the house/space. The host communicated well. The space did not have a cottage, cozy feel. The house is outdated, with some parts appearing "run down". The house was quite dirty/was not clean and had bugs. The beds were comfortable, but the other aspects of the home made it difficult to rest.With that, we do wish the owners well.
