Apartment in Carrboro

Lounge at a Fresh Mill House in Walkable Downtown Carrboro

Take it easy on the swing seat on the wraparound porch at a luminous 2 bedroom abode in downtown Carrboro. A soothing mocha color palette blends with cool mint, a light wood kitchen, and quartz countertops to create a cozy, contemporary space. Your private entrance to this Carrboro Mill House is the front door on the wrap-around porch, steps from two dedicated parking spaces. Enjoy the weather and the outdoors sitting on the porch. Walk inside to a small downstairs foyer with a coat rack and space for your shoes. The washer/dryer is also downstairs to keep the noise away from the living area. Walk upstairs into the living and kitchen area with all new furniture and fixtures. You’ll notice that there is no door at the top of the stairs, which is one example of why we do not accept young children. The living area seats five comfortably, however only four may sleep at Stone’s Throw. Read, nap, work, watch cable or Apple TV (if you are so equipped) in the living area. The kitchen is fully equipped, with marble countertops and smaller European appliances. Basic spices and other essentials are stocked. The shower/bath is large enough for a relaxing soak, and has a large shower head. Press the small square outline on the lower right side of the mirror and the white backlight turns on, again and the blue light turns on, as shown in the picture. The master bedroom is equipped with a king sized bed, reading lights, USB ports on both nightstands, and a walk in closet. The bed is better than hotel luxury. The second bedroom has a queen bed, a small desk and storage area, also with reading lights and USB ports. Full access to the apartment and porch. We have lived in the area for many years, and are happy to answer your questions! We want you to enjoy your stay and can point you in the right direction. Check-in is self-service making it flexible for you. This quiet residential road is a Stone's Throw from Open Eye Cafe and 1 block south of Main Street and Old Greensboro, Carrboro's city center. Ideally located, restaurants, bars, groceries, pharmacies, the Cat's Cradle and Weaver Street Market are within a two block stroll of Stone's Throw. Walk to the Saturday Farmer's Market, food trucks, casual and fine dining. Connect to the bike path one block away. Catch a free city bus just steps from the front porch. Depending upon your plans, you may or may not need a car. Walking, biking and the free bus system are how a lot of locals get around in Carrboro and downtown Chapel Hill. Lyft and Uber are readily available. You have two reserved parking spaces, which is a definite plus in this area. There are stairs from the downstairs foyer to the full apartment. If you are unsure on stairs, please note that the treads may feel short and the rise may feel steep.

Apartment in Carrboro

Snuggle Bear Bungalow

ZoeRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Can’t say enough great things! Check in was a breeze. Very clean and welcoming space. Clean towels were available and little mints were left which I thought were a very thoughtful touch. Eddie was a great host, very responsive and friendly! I will definitely be booking again next time I’m in the area!

Bungalow in Chapel Hill

Blackwood Mt Bungalow In the Woods with Sauna

JanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The bungalow was a nice place for a personal retreat. The use of space was inspiring. The first day I glamped out on the screened-in porch because I loved being surrounded by all the trees and birdsongs. The sounds of nature were delightful and softened the sounds from I-40. (Wearing my Air Pods greatly reduced the highway noise while on the back deck.) Due to the rainy weather I didn't walk the trail or use the sauna. The compost toilet was a bit out of my comfort zone, but it wasn't a huge issue since I traveled alone. However, I would really have to love someone to share this type of toileting arrangement. Overall, I enjoyed my peaceful stay.

Calming Woodland Octagon

Alice Rating, 5 stars1 day ago

I’ve thought about how to review this place. Almost didn’t want to because i don’t want to give away such an awesome place. lol if I could buy it I would! This was one of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed at. Although our stay was only one night, we are already planning to come back. It gives you a “rainforest” feel. The outdoor screened in deck was amazing. It came a monstrous thunderstorm and we were able to watch the storm and sunset from the deck without getting rained on or bugs bothering us at all. It was an amazing much needed experience. This was the easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written. Everything was well stocked, the projection for tv was a neat touch. Exactly like the description, Calming, charming, and one of a kind! The host was super responsive and even let us check in a few minutes early because we got there before our arrival time. We can’t wait to come back and will be booking this as long as it’s open for all of our overnight duke stays from now on!

Downtown Guest House - Walk everywhere!

AprilRating, 5 stars2 days ago

One of my top stays in 7 years on Airbnb. It felt like I was the first visitor in a new build. The house was immaculately clean, well-equipped, and so thoughtfully furnished for comfort (beautiful linens), convenience(supplies and labeling), and sustainability(energy efficient, minimalist). I was in town for a family graduation and was far more comfortable and entertained than I expected. Walked two blocks to the farmers market on Saturday, then up to Weaver Street Market and shopping on Sunday, and saw beautiful dear in the yard across the street. I so wish I could have stayed a few more days in the house to just enjoy it, the neighborhood, and the proximity to shops,dining, etc. Thank you, and I hope to stay there when I return to visit family.

Cozy Cabin in the Countryside

TaylorRating, 5 stars3 days ago

We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly kind and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The space was clean, well-kept, and felt very comfortable—especially the bed, which was super cozy and made for a great night’s sleep. It was a perfect spot for relaxing and felt like a home away from home. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
