About the host

Hosted by Gretchen Van Vliet and Chris Guffey

Host profile image
I work in consulting and my husband works in bike the industry. We have 2 children (18 and 22) and have lived in Carrboro, the "Paris of the Piedmont", for more than 20 years. We are right next door to Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have an adjunct appoint in the Gillings School of Global Public Health and occasionally teach a class in global health.

Why they chose this property

My dad is a snowbird from Michigan and lives in the house during the winter months and we make this house available the rest of the year as a short- or medium-term rental in the Carrboro/Chapel Hill area.

What makes this property unique

This house is easily accessible to all of Carrboro and Chapel Hill, walking, biking, by car, or by free city just steps from the house. Carrboro is the funky neighbor to Chapel Hill, with lots going on, including live music, restaurants and bars, and tons of outdoor activities like mountain biking, road biking, and hiking. My husband works at the local Trek Bike shop so ask us about good trails for mountain and road biking!
