A natural oasis and architectural wonder in Chapel Hill

This unique 4 BR+studio apartment is just 5 minutes from Franklin Street atop a hardwood-covered bluff at heights which rival nearby Occoneechee and Uwharrie Ranges. Each room features queen or king size beds, and brand new appliances and furnishings throughout provide maximum comfort for larger groups. The breathtaking architectural appeal and ultra-private, restorative natural setting—with fully fenced yard!—make this space a unique experience to behold.

The house and attached above-garage studio includes 5 bedrooms with 2 full kitchens and king bed master suites that also includes a flexible den space with a pullout sofa and attached full bath.

From the enormous fenced and landscaped yard, enjoy 360° winter views of mature hardwood-surrounded hilltop and surrounding valleys.

We live nearby onsite and are happy to help as needed, though we strive to offer guests privacy and ultimate relaxation with minimal interaction during their stay.

All the conveniences of nearby Chapel Hill in a breathtakingly unique home and natural setting.

Perfect!
We were looking for a home that would accommodate our immediate family and also provide a venue for my daughter’s baby shower and this home was absolutely PERFECT! The home easily accommodated our 30 guests and everyone loved the home and the setting. Every guest wanted a tour. Everything in the home was also PERFECT. It was well stocked and had everything we needed for a large gathering. The bedroom arrangement was ideal. A Colorado snow storm stranded some of our family, but the rest of us were very comfortable. I highly recommend this home for a family gathering or a small event. It was truly an architectural gem.

If you’re looking for a gathering place and privacy… look no further. So convenient to anything in the Chapel Hill area and just flat out enchanting. The architecture and nature are incomparable. Our group truly found this home to be magical in many ways. This might seem over the top, but, we’ve been VRBO users for many years and we’ve never gotten it as right as we did with Erin and Evan’s home.

Architectural Gem: Family Retreat for Entertaining
Our family's Christmas celebration at this VRBO property in Chapel Hill was a delightful experience. Tucked away atop a scenic bluff, this property combines architectural elegance with natural tranquility. It was ideal for entertaining our local and out-of-town relatives, with its large, fenced yard offering stunning 360° views of the surrounding hardwood-covered hills. The hosts were exceptionally gracious, ensuring our privacy and comfort while being readily available for any assistance, down to providing recommendations for a local massage therapist. Located just minutes from downtown Chapel Hill, it offers a blend of seclusion and accessibility, making it a highly recommended choice for anyone seeking a distinctive and memorable stay in the area.
