Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Chapel Hill

We loved staying at Justin’s beautiful house and definitely hope to come back someday soon! The home itself is bright, spacious, and comfortable—perfect for our family of 4. We also really enjoyed spending time in the yard and on the deck, eating all of our meals out there, hanging out in the hot tub and sauna, and enjoying the peace and quiet of the surrounding woods. The house feels very private, even though you’re close to the road and have easy access to Hillsborough. We were very happy with the location. Justin and his family were also great communicators/super nice people and easy to coordinate with. I would definitely recommend this place!

Loved our stay at Villa Pinea. We are MCM lovers and this home is a perfect time capsule. The design and furniture are super livable and beautiful. The space is perfect for a long stay. There are spaces for work, rest and hanging out. The kitchen has everything and the listing is well stocked with all you need for coffee or big dinner. During the day, the house is serene and peaceful with views of nature from every window. At night you will be joined by all the sounds of nature including frogs and an occasional screech owl. This is a great place for rest and relaxation and Durham/ Chapel Hill are both 10 minutes away.

Wonderful, unique location. A real NC gem!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The house was absolutely perfect, and the property is stunning. The upgrades and charm were perfect. Our family had the best trip!

I can’t say enough positive things about this stay. Erin is an amazing host. The house was spacious, clean and exactly as described. We will definitely return.

Our 5 night stay was so relaxing and a true getaway. It is such a peaceful setting. We so enjoyed the beauty of the home and the pristine pool. Sitting by the pool and listening to the birds and the breeze through the trees was just what we were looking for. Jodi is an excellent host, very responsive and would check in by text just to make sure all was well. Be sure to visit Saxapawhaw and the general store. They have a great menu with fresh made meals and even take out. Thanks again Jodi!

The house and Cam were amazing! We were staying at a different Airbnb when the A/C went out. Cam responded to my message around 9:30 PM and had us settled into this beautiful home by 10! The house is just as impressive—absolutely gorgeous.

This is a peaceful retreat that is very near many restaurants and shops. The grounds are a very nice, natural landscape. There is a very large screened in porch and an outdoor fire pit. The main room is a beautiful open space with great views of the wooded lot. We were visiting family and this was our peaceful retreat when we needed to withdraw from family dynamics. The kitchen was spacious and functional. For more than two or three, there could be more seating if watching TV, sports or movies is your plan. There are plenty of closets and storage space, and we took advantage of the washer and dryer to avoid returning home with a large load of laundry. The drive down the alley to initially fine the property was a bit uncertain, but Liz had told us ahead of time of what to expect. It was worth it to have the privacy and natural surroundings.

For my first time being in North Carolina, it truly helped elevate the experience with such a beautiful location filled with trees surrounding and nature. Mohmeet was always responsive and attentive to anything I needed and worked their best to provide the very best. Price was also amazing, thank you for making my first time in North Carolina much more memorable for me and my partner! ❤️

Erin's place was spacious, well decorated, and comfortable. The place included extra amenities with white noise machine in bedrooms, games for the kid, and extra towels and linens. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all items needed for short stay and for cooking. Erin was very friendly, responsive, and proactive in instructions. Overall, the place feels peaceful and secluded.

Great spot to stay. Very close to downtown. I was taking Lime scooters in to a conference and was there in 5-10 minutes. Apartment was clean and looked just like the pictures

Eight of us rented this house for a book club 20th anniversary celebration. It is an older building, but has been beautifully renovated and modernized. The kitchen was well-equipped, including basic supplies and the entire place was immaculate. I believe this is the first Airbnb I have rented that had enough towels for everyone. It also had a lovely back porch for morning coffee and adequate parking. The owners answered any questions almost immediately in addition to providing detailed information about the house and Durham on their Airbnb page. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Durham.

Great stay with a rustic experience. Loved hearing the rooster when i arrived and the frogs at night. The Magnolia tree smells amazing. Definitely off thr beaten path and a great get away for fast paced city folks. The studio had some many detailed touches and was very nice!

Abdalla and Ali were great hosts. Very responsive and kind. The place was super comfortable and was nice for us! We enjoyed the space and would love to stay here again on travels to Durham.

We were happy to find this rental on a busy graduation weekend. The place is beautiful and clean with all the essentials. Most important to me-- the bed was a super comfy king with great linens. The bathroom and kitchen were also great and the location was quiet, in a transitional neighborhood. Some places renovated, some awaiting a re-do. The entrance is at the rear of the house and feels safe and private.

Melissa was great and so was the apartment! She was very helpful and responsive. The apartment is located on a beautiful farm with lots of outdoor space. Close enough to town to get what you need quickly and conveniently, and secluded enough to feel like you’re out in your own quiet and peaceful space.

This was not my first stay at the Scout House, and it will not be my last. Everything about it is perfection - from the location, to the property, to the sensational hosts (Marie & BJ). My stay was delightful in every way and I cannot wait to return!

Peter & Jenny were gracious and generous hosts. The surroundings were lovely and serene. Walks in the woods surrounded by God’s beautiful creation were a special treat. We would love to have an opportunity to return!

10/10 would absolutely recommend! Super cozy for a girl's weekend. The grounds are gorgeous, peaceful and private. We loved hanging down by the pond and walking through the woods. Inside is comfy and cozy. I had trouble opening the door when I first got there and Daniel was super responsive, calling within seconds to help me. Of course I was able to get it open right as he answered. The place is perfect and my 5 star review is accurate, we would absolutely stay again - but just a heads up the owners are offering a free return night in exchange for a 5 star review, which may bias some reviews.

Peaceful and relaxing stay. We had everything we needed upon arrival. The Grandkids were never bored between hiking to explore the river to running under the trees playing tag to roasting marshmallows in the firepit. We even had a movie night on the projection screen.

Beautiful home, peaceful, exactly what we were looking for, for our family. Our boys enjoyed the fishing, using the kayaks, and fire pit. The chickens were very entertaining! The house was clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely plan another trip! Many thanks to the host!

This house had all the “things” that you forgot and needed! Lots of special touches. We loved the swing in the living room right by the window! Very private and quiet but also very easy to find. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Stunning home and property - we spent the majority of our time outside. We particularly loved fishing the pond. Hosts are proactively communicative and also respond quickly to any requests or needs. If we’re ever back in the area we look forward to staying again.

We have stayed at Betty’s Ray Family Farm several times and we have always enjoyed it. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Lovely places to walk. The lake right in front of the cabin makes fishing easy. The children enjoy fishing, riding in the golf cart, seeing the Oreo cows, and feeding the horses.
