    Correction: our stay was between Sep 10-Sep 16, 2025 ( see image attached). Dovefield is a magical place, with trees, trails, ponds, birds, yoga mat in the front porch and fenced-in back porch where we could watch our dogs play while chatting with family. Our entire stay was serene and restful. Hosts were thoughtful people who prepared a wonderful home away from home for us to stay.

    This is our third visit. Our daughter lives nearby. This is a beautiful and peaceful place. We enjoy birdwatching and nature is all around. The cabin is always spotless and comfortable. There are great restaurants nearby. The hosts always make this a magical place to visit each year.Phil and Ann and Caffeine the dog.

    Wow! What a great place to revisit. Beautiful cabin overlooking an enormous meadow and pond from the front porch of a wonderful cabin. On 53 acres, I believe, surrounded by woods. Everything inside is immaculate and very well upkept. Wonderful, attentive caretakers. Thank you for another memorable vacation stay.

    After recently moving away from Chapel Hill, we needed a pet-friendly, quiet space close to those we came to visit. The cottage was fun, cozy, and just as advertised. Bonus for coyote yips and snarls while making s'mores! Great job by the hosts.

    Everything about this property was perfect - the house, the yard, which is partially fenced-in and great for dogs, the open field, the ponds, the trail through standing pines & tons of birds feasting on the bird feeder!

    This cozy cabin was such an incredible find! It was such a relaxing place to unwind after our day trip. Loved the trail, and all the song birds. Perfectly set up for everything we needed. Very clean and the beds were really comfortable. I hope to return. -Amy

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Erin and Evan have done a wonderful job making this cottage a comfortable stay. It is clean, well decorated, well appointed, and is located in a peaceful and quiet setting. Communications with the hosts was easily accessible.

    We had a wonderful stay at Dovefield - the cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and so cozy. Kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed - the fridge and freezer drawers were the perfect size for our needs. Both bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of space. We were able to enjoy the beautiful porch and patio with view of the field and pond - it was quiet and serene. Wonderful communication with the owners throughout the booking. We will certainly return any time we are in the area as we left relaxed and renewed after a busy summer. Highly recommend!

    This was a terrific spot, in a surprisingly undeveloped area just a few minutes outside Chapel Hill. Property description was accurate, but I think still undersells just how nice the meadow and lake are for the house. We're definitely rebooking next time we come back to the area.
