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 screenedporch with a view of boulders and trees while watching the birds and deer.
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, 5G internet throughout the house. Cell service is weak but with WIFI calling turned on your devices will work fine.

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 a bluetooth speaker 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 with chairs to relax in, and a campfire area.

This home is in a 150 acre community of 23 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 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!

    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. The screened in porch was amazing and great to have when there are so many mosquitos out and about. I would stay here again if I am back in the area!

    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.

    Very well maintained, cute house in the middle of the woods. Quiet, but close to lots of things. Our family really enjoyed our stay. The owner was great with scheduling and check in.
