Quaint Cottage near UNC Campus

We enjoyed our stay in this cute cottage. It was my husband and I and it was a nice place to come relax after the fun on Franklin and campus activities. It is close enough to walk in order to get a little exercise (about 30 minutes) and we also had a car for the later nights. It was clean and comfortable and very private. We didn't cook more than toast and coffee but it appeared to have all that you would need and the bedding was clean and plus. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable

The little cottage was clean and comfortable and contained everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Its location was close enough to Franklin Street for a quick zip up in the car. The distance is also walkable if you’d rather leave the car, although there is an incline for most of the walk to Franklin Street. We are completely satisfied with our booking.

Quiet Cottage in wooded area

Enjoyed this small cottage for a week’s stay. Felt like a deer could be walking in the woods surrounding the property. Appreciated the washer and dryer as we are on a long trip.

Traveled with family
Property is cute & nicely put together. However strong musty mildew odor throughout, very dusty from underneath the beds, bed headboards, baseboards & window sills and exterior of refrigerator. Lacks basic supplies (paper towels, kitchen garbage bags, hand/dish towels). Had to use bathroom towel to clean up a kitchen spill. Provided check in info day of check-in only after I had to request it. Provided info on free use of local YMCA a day after we checked in, this information would be more helpful if provided prior to our arrival for packing & planning purposes. All these little things just added up to a meh stay.

Promises promises

Arrived late evening due to flight weather delays. No lights on. Dark. To enter, you must use stepping stones to side yard gate and through side yard stepping stones to unlock key lock. The small 2 bed 1 bath cottage was fine for our 3 night stay. Beds and pillows comfy. Kitchen has basic essentials. Near the last day we figured out how to shut the repurposed bathroom door (lift up on the right side and push left on the top. Awkward to use the toilet steps away from kitchen and small living room w a door that we couldn’t close for a couple days. Bath towels were damp upon arrival. We dried using the dryer. There was no Wi-Fi and therefore no TV during our entire stay. We notified the owner. They indicated they’d made an attempt to have router replaced. They informed us 13 days ago they’d refund us $100. Still have yet to receive it. That speaks volumes to us.

Super clean and cozy!

This lovely remodeled cottage fit our needs perfectly. #1 requirement for us is cleanliness and we weren’t disappointed! Nothing was overlooked. It’s a very tiny place but roomy enough for us. You can’t beat Brad for quick response for anything.. He’s pleasant, approachable, and efficient. We hope to return soon!
