We were in town with a teenage family member in the ICU at the UNC Children's Hospital. This home was the perfect answer to allow for rest, family meetings, meals, and everything we needed to make it through a difficult situation. The owner was very responsive and understanding of our needs. It is a mile off the beaten path, but this turned out be a blessing with the quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac. It was also very convenient to the hospital, shopping, and the basic needs of our group. Highland Comfort has a great layout that gives everyone some privacy when they need it, plus plenty of spaces to gather. It was clean and comfortable with all the modern conveniences. We hope to return under better circumstances.
The house was just perfect for my family. We had a family wedding and this house was just perfect to get away for it all the craziness and just relax. The dog in the yard behind us was barking a lot but after a while the dog got use to us and stopped barking.
Host was very responsive throughout the booking process and to the couple of questions we had upon checkin. Quiet location which was perfect for us and our dog, and only 20 minutes to graduation events at UNC Chapel Hill.
Thank you for sharing your home with us Anna. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The house is situated in a beautiful wooded and quiet area. There are plenty of bedrooms for adults so everyone could have a comfortable night sleep. Everything was clean and welcoming. When we arrived. I would recommend staying here to anyone traveling in the area.

The house is located in a nice quiet neighborhood with a large yard. It was clean and had all the extras you’ll need for your stay. The host was very responsive during our stay. I would definitely recommend this place.

Anna was very responsive during the course of our reservation as well as stay. The house was well stocked with whatever you'd need such as coffee, coffee filters, sugar and even some refrigerated condiments just to name some. The beds were comfortable with soft sheets. We enjoyed our stay immensely.
We stayed 2 nights and had a great time visiting family in the Southern Village area. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood with a large yard and huge trees. It was a perfect place to stay with 5 adults and 2 young children since there are 4 bedrooms. The house was well maintained and clean and there were some toys for the young kids to play with. It was incredibly hot and humid in NC, but the AC was able to keep the house cool which was a huge plus. We would definitely stay here again. As a side note, Anna was also gracious enough to mail us some electronics that we accidentally left at the house.
Nice, clean and well equpited house, in very quiet neighborhood.
The host is very nice and responsive.
It would be great if it had a hottub in the backyard.
Anna was always quick to respond. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was a perfect place for my husband our grown up daughters and our 2 dogs to stay for a few days while we were visiting family in Chapel Hill. I will definitely stay there again.
House is very quaint and enjoyed the size of property.Owner very responsive and even came over at night to help with issue .Kitchen is nice, just not as many pots and pans as hoped but we made due.Thanks
We were very busy during our stay. Our son had three graduation ceremonies in three days. So it was nice to have a comfortable place to come back to and relax.
This house is perfect if you're traveling with children. It has a pack and play as well as a toddler bed, and there are some toys and books suitable for children. So nice not to have to pack those things!
Anna is very communicative and goes above and beyond as a host. Would highly recommend!
I had four adult children and their 1 come to town from all across the US to be together for a magical graduation AND Christmas get together.. this would not have as comfortable or easy without Ana’s beautiful spacious house! The accommodations were plenty for all 6 of us and Ana was very responsive to my requests prior to our stay. We loved ved the added holiday touches. And the Carolina Blue door! Thank you Ana for opening your home to our family
Four guys in their 60's got together for some good times and a little golf.
The house was in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Instructions were concise and clear. Communication with host was exceptionally prompt and pleasant.
Place was clean and comfortable, kitchen well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Definitely as advertised property.
Would definitely stay again and highly recommend
Our family with 2 young kinds stayed here for 3 weeks while waiting for our new house to be ready for move-in and it was a lovely stay! It's a very nice, friendly neighborhood and the house is on a quiet cul-de-sac. We were here over Halloween and our kids even got to meet other kids trick-or-treating. The house had everything we needed, even toys, an outdoor play area and sandbox, kids utensils and a booster seat. The hosts were very friendly and responsive, and even came by quickly we needed their help with something. Would definitely recommend!
It was a great home for our purposes. We were in town for a wedding so it was a short stay. The yard was huge, completely fenced in, there were a lot of items for children- books, toys, bouncy seat, pack and play for visitors to use. The deck was a great place to socialize between the wedding and reception. It was close to every where we needed to be but at the same time it felt private. Minutes from grocery store, CVS pharmacy, McDonalds and a sub shop plus more. It was a great place to stay.
I would love to come back to this house: lovely part of town; amazing fenced in garden for the pups; the best equipped kitchen of any property I have stayed in before. Anna was quick, kind and helpful. The beds were supercomfortable. In the midst of high summer heat, it was a joy to come back to a house in the woods with great inddor conditions. The price was really good for the location and quality of the stay. Thank you Anna and Frank! We loved it. One of the best experiences for me in somebody else's home :)
Very roomy home on a large wooded lot, in a quiet neighborhood. Just a short drive off the main highway, and only a few minutes to shopping and restaurants, and about 15 minutes to Chapel Hill downtown. We stayed here to visit friends in the area, and the location was perfect for us. It's an older home but well maintained. Large bedrooms, comfy beds, and plenty of space. The kitchen had lots of pots and pans and cooking utensils - everything that we needed and all of the appliances were in good working order. The check-in and check-out procedures were fast and Anna was easy to communicate with. We would stay here again!
We rented this home to share with our adult children and their 2 very young grandchildren for a local family wedding weekend. The house was better equipped than any I have previously rented! Everything about the house was clean. There were so many toys/books/yard play items for the older almost 3 year old to stay occupied. Our host responded immediately to all inquiries. Renting this home for a family with younger children was so, so superior to staying in hotels. We highly recommend this VRBO!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at "Highland Comfort". It provided a very cozy stay for us as we attended a wedding in the area.
The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We took many walks throughout the neighborhood and found the neighbors to be kind and thoughtful... with many dogs (all well behaved and on leashes... helped us as we were missing our two golden retrievers)
In regards to the house... the instructions were clear and the space laid out nicely. One bedroom is accessed by walking through another bedroom. This worked great for us... and would be fantastic with small children.
In summary, we would stay at this property again! We had a fantastic time in Chapel Hill and this property added to the great experience.
