This house was beautiful! It was immaculately kept and a joy to visit. The wonderful yard was so inviting and we spent many hours on the large screen in back area enjoying family time.
We were in town for graduation and felt so at home here. It was perfect for our family and we loved the location. The host was very friendly and responsive. Would stay again!
We had an excellent stay and especially enjoyed the screened-in back porch which had more than enough room and seating for our group. We hope we can come back in future years!
Our group had a great time this rental! The screened in porch was wonderful, we used it every night and morning! The house was cozy, had great AC, plenty of sleeping room, and several good places to hang out indoors. The host was responsive, nice, and very accommodating. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in Chapel Hill and have a good size group with you.
We stayed here the end of June for a family reunion. Everything was great! The actual reunion was elsewhere, but we slept, showered, baked and did end-of-day activities here for 3 nights. The porch was perfect for a nightcap, conversations and table games. Neighborhood is quiet with lots of deer; we had a small dog on a leash. Grocery stores are nearby; very convenient! We woukd stay here again.
Close to UNC and shopping, this was a wonderful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Home had all the amenities and a nice backyard for our dog. We stayed for a week and would highly recommend.
My friends and I rented this house our a weekend trip. The house and amenities were great and we would definitely stay here again should the occasion arise.
Our friend group had an amazing stay at your lovely home and we created the sweetest memories with our kids. Thank you so much for the hospitality and we would love to come back soon!
Great family house with plenty of space to spread out. The owner was responsive and attentive to our needs. She even provided Halloween candy for us to give out.
We had a group of seven stay here for a weekend wedding. The local was great, close to Chapel Hill, and in a lovely neighborhood. Everyone was very satisfied with the experience. The owner was very responsive, the check in and check out process was easy. Would definitely stay here again.
Mary was very responsive and flexible in helping us book dates for an out of town job my company did in Chapel Hill. It's always nice to have a place that feels like home when you travel.
Mary’s place is wonderful. Very spacious and homey. The kitchen had everything you might need, including spices and olive oil. And there were plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets for the 10 of us. It is comfy, spacious and really close to UNC.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The entire house was just full of antiques. The master bedroom had a shower that was maybe 3' x 3' and there clusters of dust under every bed. The wifi worked in the kitchen but not in any rooms or upstairs. I took pictures but they're on my camera. There was a crack in a picture in the downstairs bedroom. The owner was nice but I would never choose that place again.
This is the second time we have spent over a week at Mary’s house and have had a wonderful stay. Lots of bedrooms, big backyard, fenced in porch, two living rooms and well appointed kitchen were all huge pluses for us! It is also very close to the booker creek trail which is nice to walk on. Mary is lovely and was very flexible and easy to get in touch with as needed. She has a pack and play and lots of toys for my kids. Will stay again!
