Contemporary rustic home set on 5 acres of lush woods with boulders and stre

A recent comment from a tenant:
5/5 Serenity Now!
This was our second stay at this gorgeous home. It’s not hard to feel at home here! Beautifully appointed; ideally situated on a very private piece of property; and, most important, impeccably clean. Sherrie is gracious in every way. She’s easy to reach and very attentive. This is one of the best places we have rented. It’s our hope to return frequently!

Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened porch with a view of boulders and trees while watching the birds at the feeders.
This house is located 7 miles south of Chapel Hill on 5 acres of mature woods with boulders and a stream. It is a custom-designed home with all the fixtures, colors and details chosen by the artistic owner.

The steep gables make it look like a 'storybook' house from the outside, while on the the inside they form a high vaulted ceiling making a star shape above the loft. The olive green color makes the house blend in with nature and it looks like it has always been there.

The house is Cottage and Arts & Crafts slyle, but also includes Victorian and contemporary elements. Many windows and a large screened porch look out on a private wooded view with many boulders scattered about. The pillars of the front porch are trees that were cut from the land.

The main floor consists of an open kitchen/livingroom space with a gas log fireplace. The ceiling of the kitchen and entryway is paneled with oak boards from the trees cut from the site. There is a master bedroom with queen size bed and entrance into the shared bathroom. The other bedroom has a day bed with trundle and a desk. The floors are 5 inch Chestnut Oak boards.

Upstairs is a loft, bathroom and bedroom with queen size bed. In the loft is a built-in desk, WIFI and a wireless printer. Cell phone service is not good, but there is a land line with unlimited long distance.

This is a cozy home for those who desire to be away from the hustle and bustle of town. There is central air and heat and ceiling fans in every room. There is a 40' flat screen TV with satellite and a bluray disc player. There is an iPod dock with speakers and radio and a small boom box for playing CD's with radio.

There is a lovely stream which forms one border of the property just a few minutes walk from the house, either through the woods or on the road. It is a steep walk, but fine for anyone in shape. There is a flagstone patio which fits into the rocks that surround it, and a campfire area.

This home is in a 150 acre community of other homes, each on 5 acres, giving all privacy. The road into the community is gravel and winds up and down on the side of Boothe Hill. The 225 foot driveway is a climb up to the house.

This property is totally secluded and peaceful yet only minutes away from shopping and conveniences. Within 2-3 miles are 2 grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacy, liquor store, thrift shop, gas stations, car care and more. In 10 minutes you can be in either Pittsboro or Chapel Hill.

This property and Sherrie are amazing

This property was amazing! Sherrie was so helpful in answering any questions and resolving any issues that we had. Of all properties we have ever stayed in, this was impeccably clean. The scenery was absolutely phenomenal tucked away in the forest. We are planning to stay again sometime. Thank you so much Sherrie!

Amazing house in the woods!

We stayed during the month of Oct.-Nov. 2024. Loved the privacy and the beautiful fall colored leaves falling all around us. Everywhere you look there are art pieces of great diversity throughout the house. Couldn't believe how much we felt like we were in the midst of the wilderness but there is a wonderful grocery store a few minutes drive from the property. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

With a wonderful, well appointed screened in porch, this place is perfect. Clean, well supplied and a little artistic flair this bungalow checks all the boxes. The dinning room table can expand and seat 8. The kitchen has everything you need including a good supply of containers for leftovers. It is reallly a perfect place to stay

What a great place to stay! Not only is it clean and a beautiful house and surrounding area, but there are so many thoughtful details that are in this house.

Wonderful Stay

We had a great stay in Chapel Hill at this cabin in the woods! It’s only about 10-15 minutes from the UNC campus, but feels like its own world. This was definitely the best stocked home rental I’ve ever visited. The house is super cute and very cozy. We enjoyed our time!

A return guest, Rock Haven is a gem on all levels! The house is settled serenely and literally, in the woods with nothing but birds, trees and fresh air to enjoy. The interior is clean, comfy, bright and airy. Convenient to all in the area has to offer - pottery studiis, farms, zoo, art museums, small town shopping, Ive never felt safer nor healthier in this piece of heaven shared by the Owner who is always quick to respond.

Quiet and Beautiful

This lovely little home is nestled into the woods in Chapel Hill. A short drive from the UNC campus, our family enjoyed the quiet respite to relax in after full days of activities. The house is artsy quirky, and the only thing to consider is if you have toddlers or very young children (ours are a little older) there are many pieces of art and antique furniture in the home. Overall it was a great fit for our family.

If you like the feeling of being in the woods in the middle of nothing, but in actuality only being 1.5 miles from the nearest grocery store, this is the place. Absolute serenity and a beautiful and comfortable house. I didn't want to leave!

If you want to be texted and emailed endlessly to the point of harassment then go for it. Owner will not use the website, they email and text you personally asking the exact same questions and make you feel very uncomfortable. Just get a hotel room.

Magical Place in the Forest

Everyone loved this unique cottage in the forest. The screened in porch and outside patios were real hits. The absence of city noises allowed us to hear the sounds of the forest. The unique architecture of the house allowed for private spaces and fun areas for the kids to engage in creative play activities. I personally may want to rent this for an autumn weekend when the leaves start changing. The ambience of the decor was very nice. To quote my 8 year-old grandson: "I love this house."
