Summary: This was my second stay at the ensuite. I so enjoyed my first visit that I was quick to book again. What a stunning place, all nestled in the woods, yet just minutes from downtown Carrboro and Chapel Hill. The ensuite itself is very private and quiet. It has a separate entrance to the side of the house. Self check-in was a breeze. Katie was available to answer a few questions, but otherwise I felt I had the place to myself. Everything was so clean and well thought out. It had all the basic amenities I needed. The bed was super comfy. The room had black-out curtains for a good nights rest. Then when opened, allowed a light filled view of the gardens. I made coffee and just enjoyed my morning surrounded by nature.I took advantage of the many trails on the property, walking them twice, once in the early evening and again in the morning. I used the map and terrific reflection journal that Katie provided. Lots of stops to just sit, reflect and enjoy the peace. Lastly, I appreciated that there was no cleaning fee or unexpected charges. I’ll definitely stay here again.
