I have had a lot of great VRBO experiences, but this one was perfect! The property is wonderful, the location is very convenient to Hillsborough and the Chapel Hill area. The details are very well thought through from furnishings to parking. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable spot in a walkable neighborhood, this is it.

Wonderful stay!!

The carriage house is a beautifully updated historic home in a safe and quiet neighborhood. It was a perfect home away from home for our family when in town for a wedding- well equipped, exceptionally clean, and quite charming! Highly recommend!!!

Perfectly Charming!

The Carriage House could not have been any more perfect for our stay in Hillsborough. Great location, clean, cozy, and comfortable for the two of us. We left thinking this beautiful little cottage will be “our place” whenever we travel to Hillsborough to visit our kids and grandkids!

What a special experience! The Carriage House was as described and much more. It reminded us of our family mountain log cabin that was built in 1934 which we restored 20 years ago. Terrific host, immaculate and one of a kind. We highly recommend.

Charming Carriage House

We loved staying at the carriage house. It is beautifully decorated and maintained, and by far, the cleanest rental I have ever stayed. The owners thought of everything to make our stay feel like home, from first aid kits and flashlights to a desk stocked with notepad, pens, and paper clips. Thank you for a lovely stay!

This was our third stay at the Carriage House, and once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautifully decorated, comfortable and an easy walk to the historic downtown. I always regret not staying longer. The host is very responsive. I highly recommend.

The Best

This carriage house is wonderful. The owners restored it beautifully and furnished it so thoughtfully. It seemed as though we were staying in someone's home--all the little details made it awfully easy to wish we were staying for more than just a few days. Thank you for having us!
