About the host
Your host

Pine Forest Hideaway is Hosted by Jonathan Taylor ("J.T.") Smith of Blue Chariot Properties. J.T. founded Blue Chariot in 2015 with the goal of transforming neighborhoods one house at a time — by rehabbing distressed homes into rental properties. And now with over 3-dozen such projects completed, Pine Forest Hideaway highlights J.T.'s and Blue Chariot's venture into short / mid-term and vacation rentals — with more to come!
Why they chose this property
Pine Forest Hideaway is no ordinary property... It is an example of taking what was old and distressed and making it new and wonderful again. This property sat vacant for over a decade before J.T. bought it — to transition it from a former hoarder house to what is now a pristine short / mid-term and vacation rental. To that end, nearly EVERYTHING IS NEW — which goes along perfectly with just how well located this property is in Chapel Hill by Jordan Lake — and just how much you're going to LOVE what we've done with it! And we've got more coming for this property, but just as it is now (which is really nice by the way) — you'll really enjoy staying here!
What makes this property unique
The Guesthouse @ Pine Forest Hideaway has 2 bedrooms that comfortably sleep 3 adults and can additionally accommodate 2 more (adults or children) on fold-down sleeper sofas. The Guesthouse features Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring throughout (NO carpet). It has fans in the living room, bedrooms and two in what we call the "Loft" area. The updates here are modern, with matte black and wood accent fixtures, along with stainless steel appliances and a motion activated kitchen sink faucet. Heat and air are controlled by separate Google Nest Thermostats for upstairs and down to dial-in your ideal comfort zone. There are 42" Smart-TV's in the living room and loft. The internet connection is 300MB AT&T Fiber that is shared with [The House] on the same lot, that we also offer as a rental when not using it ourselves.
The exterior has ample lighting, including some that are motion activated to light your way outside (it gets pretty dark out there otherwise). But when you step outside, the night sounds (crickets and frogs) are loud, but peaceful. And during the day, you're certain to see squirrels, but maybe also a few deer and lots of birds. Its a nature lover's paradise! If you wish to go for a night walk, there are florescent safety vests in the drawer of the stand below the living room TV (so that you can be seen from cars, as again, it gets dark out there). There are also pet waste bags in that same drawer.
You'll find everything you'll need inside. All your glassware and utensils, pots / pans, etc... are in the cabinets and drawers. There is a toaster, Keurig coffee maker, a variety of different K-cups (coffee and tea), cream / sugar — and more... We've tried to think of everything.
Towels, wash cloths and a hair dryer are in the upstairs bathroom vanity, as is a first aid kit. Extra pillows and linens are found in the closets and/or drawers of the bedroom dressers or night stands. An iron and ironing board are in the laundry room off the downstairs half-bath.
