We enjoyed staying at Alya’s cottage house. It was very clean and comfortable. It’s a great location in Glenwood, near many restaurants. We would definitely stay again!

Marianne is an absolute delight. She greeted my dog and I warmly upon arrival and was kind and welcoming throughout our stay. The space was clean, well-maintained, and inviting. The backyard was spacious, providing plenty of room for my dog to walk and run freely, which he absolutely loved. It was a wonderful experience, and I would love to return in the future.

The cottage is just as it is shown, and yes, cozy is small, but I was very comfortable. Mary was very friendly and nice to talk with. I had two dogs with me and she let us have access to her large field so the dogs got a good run each day. My dogs also enjoyed meeting Mary's dog. I was there for a dog obedience trial at the nearby Kennel Club building and it was very nice to find this lising that was so close. When/if I go back for another dog show, I'll definitely try and stay here again.

Great, clean and comfortable place to stay. Only 2 miles from UNC campus in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. The instructions were very clear and I loved that the light switches were all labelled! Aja was very proactive in reaching out to make sure they knew when I was arriving, letting me know there would be game-day traffic downtown, etc...

It was a cold weekend and Steven and Linda already had the stove running to heat the place up! They even held on to a couple of items that we left from last time and greeted us with a smile. This was our second time visiting and we will be back!

Sheri thought of everything to make this place great, from chargers to a steamer, a snack/ water basket and comfy pillows. The place was compact but laid out so well. Sheri had clear instructions for everything. She accommodated us so well for our last minute request. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay while I was in town for work. Clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Will even had K-cups, coffee beans, and toiletries, which was a lifesaver since I forgot a few items. Would definitely stay again!

This was our second time staying here. Great location near the Lenovo center where we were catching a Canes game. Love that we can bring our dog and the yard is fenced. We were comfortable and had everything we needed.

Very nice place to stay. It was clean and comfy all around. It's in a quiet neighborhood and great for taking a walk. The full size kitchen appliances were like new. We had a great stay and would go back again.

Cute little place. Didn't spend a lot of time there because we were visiting family that didn't have quite enough room for everyone, so this place worked great for a place that my wife and I could lay our heads at night. Cheaper then a hotel and didn't have the noise associated with a hotel.

I loved staying at the carriage house. It was exactly like the photos. It felt spacious and comfortable. It was super clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable and in the evenings we made use of the streaming platforms through Roku. Jamie has really thought of everything down to a bag hanging on the wall that includes an umbrella and aprons. Our host communicated with us and let us know there’d be snow and salted the stairs. We loved it and would definitely come again.

Kirsten’s cottage was just as described! Very cozy and had everything we needed. Kirsten was always very quick at responding to me if I had any questions or concerns. Good recommendations on where to eat as well. We were there for UNC baseball and we were very close to the campus/fields. Very easy check in process and very clear instructions about the house as well. Had a lot of extras if you needed them in the kitchen closet as well as soap/shampoo was provided in the shower. Very comfortable beds with plenty of blankets which was great as it was cold when we visited. And plenty of towels as well. We will definitely keep Kirsten’s cottage in mind if we are ever back in chapel hill!! Thanks again!!

Erin was a great host! We loved the “Guest Cottage” for our weekend in Chapel Hill with friends. It was very comfortable, peaceful & just enough room for my husband & I. We will definitely check it out in the future for our visits!

I enjoyed Jason’s and Lona’s place! The pictures honestly doesn’t do the place justice. It was designed beautifully. Every little detail was immaculate. It was very clean. Close to a lot of great restaurants and coffee shops. They were great host. They were available for all questions. I plan to stay here anytime I visit Raleigh.

As a local to the area, staying at Joel and Shelli's place felt like a home away from home. They were incredibly responsive and helpful, while also being non-invasive and considerate of my desired level of privacy. The tall ceilings and intelligent layout of the space made it feel roomier than what the square footage would suggest. There were plenty of options for both natural and built-in lighting (something I love). The location was convenient to everything I needed to do during my stay (in Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Sanford) and I was also able to work comfortably from the home. The washer and dryer were a plus as I needed to fly out after my stay and wanted fresh laundry for travel. I definitely feel like this is one of those rare Airbnbs where everything felt intentional, thoughtful, and intuitive for using the space. Thank you so much, Joel and Shelli!

Beautiful 1 bedroom in a sweet neighborhood. The space is clean and looks brand new! It is located up a fairly steep (indoor) staircase so if mobility issues are a problem, this might not work. Jody and Emilee were friendly and responsive and it we would definitely stay there again!

Perfect spot for my mom who was in town visiting for the birth of my son. Hosts were responsive and communicative even while they themselves were busy welcoming a new baby :) We had a little trouble figuring out how the thermostat worked (likely user error) but figured it out and all was well. It’s a beautiful space! Even better than the photos. A convenient and safe location.

Josh’s treehouse was absolutely fantastic! So peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to everything you need in Chapel Hill. Josh and his wife were very friendly and accommodating and they made my stay as easy as it could be. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away or have a staycation!
