Chapel Hill House | The Cozy Bungalow - Official Historic Home Near UNC!

2 Bedroom House with Wellness Facilities, Fireplace and Laundry

The John and Mattie Norwood House is a historic craftsman bungalow built in the early 1900s with a lot of history behind it (it has Freemason symbols as its gable vents!). It's even officially noted as one of Chatham County's "Historic Structures"!
Think hardwood floors, lots of sunlight pouring through the windows, and a gorgeous Japanese Maple right outside the sunroom. Plus, an equally stunning Magnolia tree out front. If you prefer a country feel while still being less than 10 minutes from town, this place is perfect for you!
There is a side deck, front porch, fire pit, picnic table, and plenty of camping chairs for you to use for relaxing outside. If inside is more your thing, enjoy the old-school charm of a record player, plenty of board games, books, and a VHS/DVD player. (Plenty of records and movies to choose from!)
By the way, there's a trampoline and a fitness park, too! It's perfect to move around and stretch out after a long day of traveling. Use at your own risk and be safe.
Great for college games, the hospital, visiting students! Located conveniently near a free CCX bus stop to get to UNC campus and downtown Chapel Hill directly across the street. Many of our guests love this option, if they're here for the proximity to the school. The house is on a highway, behind a privacy fence and trees so the traffic noise is muted. But for light sleepers, we have a white noise machine beside the bed as well as a floor fan to drown out any wanted sounds.
Also perfect for larger groups when booked with our equally charming sister space on the property, "The Shabby Chic Studio near UNC." The house is broken up into two spaces with two separate, secure entrances, but both spaces have access to the laundry room.
We are close to town (5-10 minutes/close to UNC), but just enough in the country for some privacy and to be surrounded by trees. Located right off Hwy 15-501 with a park and ride lot just across the street and amazing restaurants, groceries and park options all within 5 miles. Walmart for essentials (1/4 mile), Lowes Foods (1/4 mile) and Harris Teeter (2 miles) for basic groceries, Weaver St Market (2 miles) for health food and local options. Southern Village (2 miles) has restaurants, gyms, and bars, and in the other direction, you have pizza, coffee, and a breakfast cafe. Many new spots opening every month as this area is growing fast! If you're outdoorsy, Briar Chapel has great trails!
We're 10 minutes or less to downtown Chapel Hill and Carrboro, 10-15 minutes to Pittsboro/Jordan Lake, 20-25 to Hillsborough and Durham, and 30 minutes to Raleigh.
But above all else, we hold the guest experience to the highest standard and are here to make sure you have whatever you need to make your stay fun, safe, and comfortable!
