About this property

Quiet, elegant cottage just steps from downtown Pittsboro—minutes to Jordan Lake

Art-filled with a boho feel, this home sits in a grove of cedars, feeling secluded and restful, but Main Street, filled with shops and restaurants, is just two short blocks away. Vintage touches and charm for days! Fully appointed Chef’s kitchen, designated work space, sunlit den that will have you curling up with a book or a glass of your favorite beverage. Have coffee on the front porch, over looking the cedar grove, or enjoy the secluded back deck.

Take a stroll through the historic cemetery across the street or enjoy one of the many local restaurants and breweries only steps away.
Fearrington village and Chapel Hill are just 20 min up the road, and 30 min to the popular Triangle. Jordan Lake recreation area is a short 15 min away and has beaches and hiking trails, as well as boat launches and great fishing.

Sister Weekend

Two of my sisters and I enjoyed a most relaxing and quiet long weekend together. We have Sister Weekends yearly and this was one of the best short term rentals ever. We strolled the quiet neighborhood and explored the old cemetery across the street. We browsed the shops on Hillsboro St. and ate at a few local restaurants. Our host Lindsay was absolutely percent the best. We could not think of one single thing we needed that wasn’t provided. Five stars all the way.

A great place to land

This is a fantastic place to stay. Minutes from downtown you can walk. Clean, comfortable, homey We were thrilled to find a place close to our children that beats hotels much further away. Will hopefully be able to return soon.

Cutest cottage and most fabulous host!

This is such a welcoming and outstanding stay!! The cottage was homey, so well decorated, included items we may have forgotten, had delicious fresh eggs waiting for us, and so many thoughtful touches. It’s a few blocks to a brewery and restaurant and a place we can’t wait to return to! The host is so wonderful and helpful!

We visited our son's family in Briar Chapel for his 40th Leap Day birthday. Juniper Cottage was beautifully appointed with lovely artistic details. The kitchen was well equipped and the cottage was immaculate and very clean. We hope to come again and stay in the Juniper Cottage!

Little house in the woods

We had a wonderful stay. The house was sparkling clean and even cuter than the pictures. Kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and host thoughtfully left us fresh eggs from her farm which we enjoyed. Easy walking distance to restaurants and cute shops. We are already planning a revisit.

Beautiful cottage!

The cottage was beautifully decorated, incredibly clean and an easy walk to the cute downtown shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and private. The hostess provided lots of little extras like fresh eggs from her farm, little chocolate treats, toiletries and fun games. We had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pittsboro and the cottage. I would absolutely recommend this cottage when staying in the area,
