We were in town with a teenage family member in the ICU at the UNC Children's Hospital. This home was the perfect answer to allow for rest, family meetings, meals, and everything we needed to make it through a difficult situation. The owner was very responsive and understanding of our needs. It is a mile off the beaten path, but this turned out be a blessing with the quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac. It was also very convenient to the hospital, shopping, and the basic needs of our group. Highland Comfort has a great layout that gives everyone some privacy when they need it, plus plenty of spaces to gather. It was clean and comfortable with all the modern conveniences. We hope to return under better circumstances.

The property was generally nice and as described.Our only issues is that there were ants in the kitchen when we arrived, some of the provided snacks were over a year expired, and that the owners had people over in the backyard working on the shed during our stay (and windows without blinds in the bathroom/shower the workers could see into).But the experience was otherwise pleasant and suited our needs.

Family Visit to Chapel Hill

We stayed 2 nights and had a great time visiting family in the Southern Village area. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood with a large yard and huge trees. It was a perfect place to stay with 5 adults and 2 young children since there are 4 bedrooms. The house was well maintained and clean and there were some toys for the young kids to play with. It was incredibly hot and humid in NC, but the AC was able to keep the house cool which was a huge plus. We would definitely stay here again. As a side note, Anna was also gracious enough to mail us some electronics that we accidentally left at the house.
