The home offers a modern kitchen, completely stocked with cooking equipment and vintage dishes and tableware. There’s an expansive outdoor grill and island counter, and the garage has been converted into a spacious bar (The Branch Water Lounge) with a massive 8-foot bar and fireplace.

The house has four bedrooms, including a master suite, and all are decorated with period pieces and fun, vibrant colors. Stay a couple of nights or a week for an exceptional experience.

The Fab 4 House is conveniently located for you and your guests.

Great restaurants serving locally- sourced produce and meats and acclaimed music venues. Hiking, biking and walking trails. Canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Scenic areas and parks. A vibrant community of shops and artisans, the Haw River. Plus, it’s only 20 minutes from the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area, Jordan Lake and a comfortable drive from Raleigh or Greensboro.

Little Gem
This house was rented for Elon University graduation. It was nice and had a lot of space. Pros: lots of space for large group, plenty of dishes and spaces in the house to have a large group. Owner very easy to work with and even gave me a refund when I booked too many days. Cons: The container house pictures in listing are not apart of the rental. We had to find last minute housing for 4 family members when we arrived for graduation. 30 mins from Elon.

Incredibly Groovy!
My husband and I had our retro-inspired wedding ceremony and reception at the Fab 4 village. Kathy was an incredible host, welcoming us to the property and giving us a tour personally when we arrived. Her eye for design and impeccable antiquing skills left us with the perfect canvas for our celebration. We enjoyed the central location to Graham and Saxapahaw, but also appreciated the quiet seclusion of the property. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Kathy!!

Fab 4 Fabulous House
This was a great place to hang out with family over a li v weekend for my daughters graduation from UNC! A GREAT time was had by all! There was plenty of space so you didn’t feel cramped and the beds were very comfortable! The 60’s /70’a vibe was so great and everyone really enjoyed there time at the house! Kathy is a Great host and very accommodating! There were so many extra’s in the house and everyone enjoyed the record player and room with the disco ball! Can’t thank Kathy enough for giving us the opportunity to stay at her place and enjoy some wonderful family time with one another! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to get away for a few days with family or friends. We will never forget our time in the Fabulous Fab4 house and all the memories we will have forever!

Wonderful Wedding Weekend Stay
We rented the Fab4 House along with the 3 container units for our daughter’s wedding weekend. The wedding was at the Haw River Ballroom about a mile away. The house has 4 comfortable bedrooms with a big gathering space in the converted garage. Awesome retro design and decor. The covered grill area was awesome. Big yard for kids old and young to enjoy.

Great place to meet up with friends
We were supposed to stay 2 nights, but due to circumstances were only able to make it for 1. We really wish we had more time as it was a perfect gathering place for friends. We had a wedding reception nearby and had 3 couples stay at the house and several more people who came by after the event. We really enjoyed to record player and the younger crowd was able to hang out in the "lounge" while we "old folks" got to hang out and reminisce. If the weather had been nicer, it would have been great to hang out outdoors. It had a great set up. We hope to do it again sometime! (Everybody loved the theme and again, I wish we'd had more time because everytime I looked, I noticed something different. Nice details!)

A very, very, very fine house
We loved this house! We rented it for the weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday and brought our two elementary-aged kids. We were joined by six other adults and one baby. Two of the adults stayed in the adjacent Yellow Submarine container (rented separately) and loved it! Very well stocked with some nice touches that other rentals don't always have. Little things like salt/pepper, olive oil, toilet paper, etc. Cookware and dishes were also great! We could find everything we needed. The house was clean and the vibe was so charming. Our favorites were the garage party space and the nice patio outside. Our dog loved playing fetch in the backyard while we sat on the patio! Only negative (and it's a small one) is that one of the couples said they rolled toward the middle of their bed, but that's no big deal. Thank for everything, Kathy and Tammie!

Great place for a family get together.
The house was clean and well stocked with kitchenware, (except for a potato masher). We appreciated all the personal touches. The décor was so much fun. We would have appreciated another sofa in the living room. If 8 to 10 people, actually stay, there was a shortage of seating for watching movies comfortably. Also, the mattresses are pretty bad. All in all, it was a good place to stay for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Kathy puts the super in super host!
Walking up the front sidewalk the house is unassuming but as soon as you open the front door you step back into the 1960’s. Having been born in the 60’s and growing up in the 70’s many conversations were had about the decor including the large record collection. Our grandson had fun dancing to the music on the turntable and practicing his new walking skills in the open floor plan. The garage is turned into a party room that was complete with a disco ball! We didn’t have time to enjoy it but we did get to enjoy the brisk country air on a few morning walks in the country. If you read review like I do this home is everything everyone says it is. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Family Reunion/Wedding
Wonderful place to gather with family members. So many options for fun. There’s a great vinyl record collection and stereo, double car garage arranged as a party space and outdoor fire pit area. Located in a quiet country setting . Kathy was an accommodating host, allowing us to use the garage party room to host a wedding luncheon and bride preparation space. She even had fresh flowers waiting for us upon arrival. Would definitely return again.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Hansinger

Host profile image
The Fab 4 House is the dream venture of my husband and i, owners Tom and Kathy. This amazing community is quite different from Cleveland, OH, where I grew up. My husband and I moved to the Cary, NC area over 30 years ago. Loved the climate and proximity to the beaches and mountains. We both love to cook and entertain so we added places in the home and outside that make entertaining easy and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

I am an avowed mid-century modern fan, growing up in the 60's and have long wanted a place to showcase the beauty of the era and its unique design. I came across this charming 1960s-era house and knew it would be perfect to remodel in mid-century modern style. Plus, it was just around the corner – literally – from the quirky, artsy, electric village of historic Saxapahaw, which itself had recently undergone a revitalization. That, coupled with the scenic beauty of the area and the laid-back peacefulness of the Haw River, made the house an excellent choice for an ideal pairing of old and new.

What makes this property unique

It is the community of Saxapahaw that drew us in. Our neighboring small farms grow vegetables and raise livestock that supply the 2 gourmet restaurants in the village. There are incredible live music performance in the Haw River Ballroom.
