Comfortable and pleasant stay

Perfect house for our visit with family who live nearby. The screened porch was ideal for family meals. The neighborhood was quiet, beautiful, very friendly neighbors, great for dog walking. We liked getting to meet Mary, the owner, and she explained how to work the tv, ceiling fans etc. Convenient to grocery stores.

Incredible Experience!!

Mary's House was perfect! We were traveling for a doctor's appointment for our son and we reserved Mary's House. The house was so welcoming and had a great feel. It literally felt like home!! There was everything you could possibly need and the neighborhood was wonderful! We had a few neighbors wave and tell us hello while we were loading and unloading the car. The beds were super comfortable and the house was clean. We hope to stay again when we travel back.

Another wonderful stay

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!

Wonderful Home

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.

UNC graduation

Great home to accommodate grandparents for UNC graduation. We LOVED the back porch, it's the perfect gathering space. Convenient to campus. If I could be so fortunate to have another UNC grad, I'd stay there again.

Great repeat visit

This was our second stay at Mary's wonderful house in Chapel Hill. The house was very clean, and it had everything our family of five (plus dog) needed for a week-long stay. Grocery stores (Wegman's, Whole Foods) are close, as are a wide variety of restaurants. Mary was very responsive to all communications. Highly recommended.

Very appreciative!

We appreciated being able to stay in Mary’s house for only one night as 5 bedrooms is a lot to flip for one night!! The house was very spacious, the living room was cozy and comfortable and perfect for our family to spend time together. The kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed! Thank you!

Great family home

We gathered to Chapel Hill for my son’s wedding..the host Mary and I instantly bonded over the fact that our sons were getting married within months of each other and at the same venue! The home was perfect for my family to gather before the wedding and prepare also loved the porch .. it was a great location for people to drop by between events and wait for flights home . The home was very comfortable, well stocked and clean . My husband was also able to work quietly before the event in one the sitting rooms . Thank you Mary for being such a gracious host .. hope to see you soon… We came home to Hurricane Idalia and have been dealing with the aftermath!

Sweet and Comfortable House

This house was a great location for our visit to Chapel Hill and close proximity to the Friday Center. We enjoyed sitting on the back screened porch in the mornings and evenings. The house was well set-up with plenty of room for all of us to spread out and have some privacy.

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood

We really enjoyed our stay at this spacious home in a very nice/quiet neighborhood. We were allowed an early check in at 1:00pm and Mary allowed us to return on the day we checked out to retrieve an item that we had left behind. The beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were provided. Thank you, Mary!

Great Space

Our extended family was in town for our son's wedding. This property worked out so well for everyone, including our dog. All 5 bedrooms, as well as the pull out couch, were put to good use. The home is very cozy and kitchen well stocked. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. When we had an issue, the owner was very friendly and responded well to our need. We made sweet memories here.
