We enjoyed our stay very much and appreciate all the thoughtful touches and communication. From the clean and comfortable accommodations to the unmatched beauty of the grounds, we were very pleased and thankful that we were able to book it. We were visiting our UNC student and the drive to and from downtown Chapel Hill was fast, and we appreciated returning to our "retreat" space at night. The only downside to our stay is that we didn't have enough time to walk the trails and enjoy the gorgeous property because of our busy weekend schedule. Katie reached out during our stay to ask if there was anything she could do to make us more comfortable, and she was quick to accommodate our request. Much appreciated! This is truly a gem of a property. Thank you, Katie, for sharing it with us!

The place was very clean and comfortable. The property was beautiful with lovely sitting areas and resting spots throughout. The host was accommodating and very responsive. In fact, was quick to get back with me when I mistakenly entered in the code wrong to access the room. She continued to check in to make sure all was good. Great location as well - close to restaurants and the carrboro’s farmers market. Will stay here again.

Beautiful Place To Stay

I had such a wonderful time staying at this retreat center! The land is so beautiful, peaceful, and really submerged in nature. The owner, Katie, was so helpful, kind, accommodating, and communicative. The ensuite room was so cozy! I would highly recommend staying here to get away from the burdens of everyday life.

This was my second stay at the ensuite. I so enjoyed my first visit that I was quick to book again. What a stunning place, all nestled in the woods, yet just minutes from downtown Carrboro and Chapel Hill. The ensuite itself is very private and quiet. It has a separate entrance to the side of the house. Self check-in was a breeze. Katie was available to answer a few questions, but otherwise I felt I had the place to myself. Everything was so clean and well thought out. It had all the basic amenities I needed. The bed was super comfy. The room had black-out curtains for a good nights rest. Then when opened, allowed a light filled view of the gardens. I made coffee and just enjoyed my morning surrounded by nature.I took advantage of the many trails on the property, walking them twice, once in the early evening and again in the morning. I used the map and terrific reflection journal that Katie provided. Lots of stops to just sit, reflect and enjoy the peace. Lastly, I appreciated that there was no cleaning fee or unexpected charges. I’ll definitely stay here again.
