This serene home on a half-acre offers a haven away from the city for those needing a place to pause, nest, and rest. Sip tea on one of three porches, sit under the grand oak tree, and enjoy the heart-of-pine wood floors, modern kitchen, upstairs bedroom suite, ultra-comfortable beds, and all the conveniences for an easeful stay. Located in the tiny, charming town of Bynum, this one-of-a-kind house offers the chance to reset, with nature trails and the Haw River just outside the front door.r>
The 2,100-square-foot house is adorned with local art from the region and was originally two separate houses that was merged into one. There are cozy nooks throughout the house and ample yard. Ideal for cooking great meals, curling up on cozy couches, sleeping deeply, and listening to the crickets and river. A strong wifi signal via Eero mesh makes it a good place to work if need be. Find your refuge in this spacious yet cozy home in a unique village brimming with natural beauty close to the major hotspot that is North Carolina’s Triangle. Come roll with the river for a while.

For a tiny town, Bynum offers a multitude of attractions, from hiking trails along the Haw River to the world-famous artist Clyde Jones’ Critter House to the Bynum General Store, now a nonprofit that holds community art and music gatherings throughout the year. Fearrington Village and Pittsboro are only minutes away by car; organic food at the nearby co-op is only a seven-minute drive; and a dip in the river is literally a few hundred steps away from this magical house.

    This house felt like a warm hug. There are books and art throughout. The walk to the bridge was delightful in the evening. If you like to cook, this is the place to do it. My grandkids enjoyed baking cookies and brownies. I made a nice dinner for the whole family. The hummingbirds and deer make regular visits to the garden. I’m looking forward to coming back! Host, Anna, does a great job with communication.

    Great location. Multiple open spaces and porches! The entire family enjoyed our stay. We’ll be back for Shakori and another stay.

    We stayed for thanksgiving. We decided to bring the family together for the holidays. Our daughter who lives in Chapel Hill has health issues and can’t travel so the Bynum house was a great location for our feast. We came from NH, NY and TN. The house was everything we were looking for. Bynum is a very cool little village. People were very friendly. Plenty of wildlife wandering thru the yard. Short walk down to the river. Super place!

    This was a great place for our family to stay during the several day wedding celebration. It is a quaint and quiet neighborhood that is close to all the local activities. If in the area we would stay there again. Thanks to our hosts!

    My family (there were 7 of us) stayed here while in town for a wedding. We loved the uniqueness of this home along with the surrounding area. We were thrilled to find the bridge and Haw River. We explored the trails along the river everyday. If you enjoy the outdoors/water I would highly recommend checking the area out while you stay! The home was pristine when we arrived and the kitchen/dining room was plenty big and had everything we needed. The three bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds! The only notable things (I don’t want to say “complaint” because they are all personal preference things and not a deal breaker or real problem at all!!) about the property was the home only has 3 regular beds, the other was a fold down couch and a sofa which would be great for children or smaller adults but we were a tall group (all but one being 6’ or taller) so the fold down couch wasn’t functional for us. I would just suggest this is something to keep in mind if you have a larger group! The other thing is there is a window in the upstairs bathroom that is right next to and at the level of the toilet. Just felt very awkward but a small curtain would do the trick. Overall, we absolutely loved this stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area! We would 100% stay here again!
