Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Chapel Hill

This was hands down the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in during my 8 years of using the platform. The house is everything I’d imagine in a dream home—spacious, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. With three bedrooms upstairs, one in the basement, and three full bathrooms, it comfortably fit our group of five teenagers, my husband, me, and our German shepherd. Having three bathrooms was a total game-changer. The living spaces were cozy, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the peaceful setting was perfect for recharging. We stayed during Dreamville Festival, and even though it was a 30-minute drive to Raleigh, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The home, the setting—everything was perfect. We especially loved the outdoor swings. We stayed for three nights but could’ve stayed longer. The pictures don’t do this home justice—it’s even better in person. If you’re thinking of booking, do it. Perfection at its finest—you won’t regret it! ♥️

Everything was perfect and as described. The hosts were very kind and helpful. This really is a great place to spend a weekend with your significant other.

Absolutely perfect spot. If you are looking for a lowkey vibe with plenty of space, this is the choice for you. Will most definitely be back next time I’m in town!

This place is adorable, much nicer than it seemed from the photos. It really seems like a home rather than a rental. Great fenced in back yard surrounded by trees made the dogs very happy.

Matt and Dawn's place was beyond amazing! My kids and I were only 30 minutes away from our own home, but this getaway was much needed. The location was peaceful and very cozy! They respond quickly and were very nice! I would definitely book again for another stay! We were in heaven at this home🥰.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! Beautiful neighborhood for morning walks and a relaxing environment. Enjoyed the sunroom and pool table!

Michael & Clara were great hosts! They were very responsive, flexible and helpful. The apartment was exactly what was described. I highly recommend their apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay for a few nights! Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

We loved the cozy cottage! Convenient location to Durham and Chapel Hill, clean cozy and comfortable place, and nice extras with snacks and drinks when we arrived. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place. Very clean, easy access, great instructions for checking, and host is very responsive ! Enjoyed our stay.

Ashley's place was great! It was clean, had everything we needed and both beds were extremely comfortable! She was super responsive and friendly. And the welcome basket was above and beyond. Would definitely stay again!

Our stay was wonderful. The location is good, the cottage was sweet and had everything we needed plus some. Rain is an excellent host and we would definitely stay there again.

Really easy stay. Very clean. Good communication

The apartment was perfect! The work space was great and it already has a display screen. Mohmeet checked in during my stay and was very proactive. I will definitely stay here again. The walls are pretty thin. It didn’t bother me, but if you’re a light sleeper it could be a bother.

Jeanette’s place was perfect! Super peaceful and quiet, amazingly clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Jeanette was very friendly, responsive and accommodating. We 100% recommend and would love to stay here again next time we’re in the area :)

This house was exactly as pictured with good space for four of us to all have our own room. It was well equipped with supplies and Mary/Joe were very responsive and helpful.

The Farm Stay studio was perfect! It was beautiful and bright and cozy, with gorgeous views of the farm and pond. The use of space was incredible with every amenity needed available. Great shower as well! Betty sent us so many ideas of places to see in the area and was a wonderful host! We hope to stay again when we return to the area.

This was not my first stay at the Scout House, and it will not be my last. Everything about it is perfection - from the location, to the property, to the sensational hosts (Marie & BJ). My stay was delightful in every way and I cannot wait to return!

My family and I love this place. This was our second time booking. The scenery and privacy is amazing. Perfect location for us to stay close to family who live in the area. We will 100% be visiting again. Harriette makes everything simple for check-in and check-out. Highly recommended. Get the real feel of peace and tranquility in a cozy cabin while only being minutes from town. You will not be disappointed.

Great location! Loved the property and peacefulness of the River and tranquility of every view and fire pit.

I was fortunate enough to be able to book Amy’s place for Christmas and it was perfect. Large enough to have the family together with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. There isn’t one thing I would change about our stay. The house was sparkling clean and beautifully decorated for the holidays. I was lucky to briefly meet Amy and had a great chat she is very friendly. We will certainly book this house again. Thanks Amy

Though I live close by in Cary, I needed a quiet retreat to finish writing my book and Barbara's place was perfect! Thoughtful touches throughout the home, incredibly clean, the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need to cook as if you were at home, and Barbara's communication was exceptional. I highly recommend this place for everyone as it's great for solo travelers, couples, or families. Make sure you have a sit in the hanging chair in the living room - it's delightful :) Thanks, Barbara!

Ms. Betty & Farmer Jerry were the perfect hosts - making us feel so welcomed! The cabin was exactly as described - cozy & well-appointed. We found no need to venture off the farm during our 4-night stay as there was so much to keep us busy! We toured the property with Jerry, explored further on the included golf cart, watched stallion training, caught buckets of frogs, & fed the friendly horses, donkey, & cattle (bring carrots & cored apples; alfalfa cubes were provided). We came prepared to fish all the ponds. Even so, fishing poles & bait options were offered, even "special" lizards to help our son catch the BIG ones! We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful setting & gracious hosts. The kids are already asking when we can book another stay :) Most everything you need is supplied - I've made a note to bring lidded containers for leftovers, foil, & sharp kitchen/steak knives next time. If early rising isn't your thing, pack ideas to keep the rude bird away from the master transom!

The backyard and pond are super nice. The cabin is well appointed and clean. There are several homes around so you get the remote experience without being alone. Cleaner was super nice and does a fantastic job!

A peaceful and quiet retreat- my dog and I felt right at home. This was just what we needed while visiting one of my adult children who is battling a severe health issue and being treated at UNC hospitals. Our hope is to return once a month to this wooded oasis.
