Located on a secluded 3.5-acre wooded lot, this 3BR / 3.5BA Chapel Hill retreat is a peaceful, family-friendly escape thoughtfully managed by me and my team at The Brighthouse, local hospitality experts known for warm, elevated guest experiences.

Each bedroom features an ensuite bath and blackout curtains for restful nights, while the large deck with a firepit invites stargazing and storytelling.
