Family-friendly vacation rentals in Orange County

This place was peaceful and easy to travel in and out of for us to visit relatives in the area. The hosts were very responsive and provided recommendations in the area. It was also nice seeing their horse and chickens.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the yurt! Linda will be the first to warn you that this is more like camping than a hotel, but there is something very special about this place.

Highly recommend this apartment. Terrific amenities and close to everything. Melissa was very positive to work with and a great proactive communicator.

Great place to stay.

We stayed here with 12 of our family members for graduation and it was the perfect place for all of us! The kitchen was great. We loved the outdoor space (and the hot tub). They’ve done a great job preserving the historic nature of the house while also updating- my Aunt was raving about how much she loved the shower! We loved that we could walk to the farmers market on Saturday morning! Taylor was so responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Thank you!

Great location in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood very close to UNC campus. The house was very clean and comfortable with plenty of space to store your belongings. The oak tree (complete with a swing) was magnificent. Very pleasant to relax on patio in the morning and listen to the birds.

House was meticulously kept, host was communicative & friendly & the location was ideal

great little tiny house in the woods! the hosts were so kind and easy to communicate with!

We had a fantastic stay at Fickel Creek Farm! Noah was a thoughtful and welcoming host—he greeted us with fresh farm eggs and sausage that made for an incredible breakfast. The highlight of our visit was touring the farm and getting the chance to feed a baby cow (definitely a memorable experience!). The property itself is peaceful and full of charm—an ideal escape from the usual hustle. If you're looking for a relaxing, down-to-earth farm stay with a personal touch, this place is a gem. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this cute and cozy house! The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a place to land while we were moving . One of the highlights was the fenced-in yard — perfect for our dogs to feel at home too. Janet was incredibly accommodating and even let us check in early, which made our arrival smooth and stress-free. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming place to stay!

My stay was very pleasant. I was too busy to enjoy everything as I was buying a house for myself. The only thing I regret that I missed super interesting talks with Mary. She is an amazing human being! Thank you!

Great location and spacious.

The pictures do not do this place justice, it is a lovely home in the perfect location between Duke and UNC!

Graduation weekend at the arboretum was perfect for our family. Beautiful, peaceful, and interesting surroundings, and a fantastic house with lots of space and thoughtful details. The deck, screened in porch and smaller porch off the kitchen were perfect. No problem at all with connectivity. Location was also just right. You can get to Carrboro and Chapel Hill quickly but get out of there later and return to quiet. Only detail I would change is the poison ivy. Ugh, there's quite a lot.

We stayed here during our kids track meet. It was wonderful!!! The house was clean, felt homie, and had everything we needed. It had beautiful surroundings, quite private pool and my kids really enjoyed fishing in the pond! Ryan was very friendly. He answered all our questions ahead of time and gave great suggestions during our stay. Checking in and out was a breeze. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to town!!

Enjoyed our stay and great value for chapel hill area.

This was our second stay at Allen’s place, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. Allen is a thoughtful and responsive host, which made everything easy from start to finish. For us, the location is perfect. It is close to the airport and shopping centers, yet still nice and quiet. The space was clean, comfortable, and truly felt like a home away from home. We are so glad we found this spot and hope to stay here again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay without any issues. The house was as described and we liked hanging outside on the patio. The pool and walking around the lake were the main attractions for us staying there. Clare was always available for any questions and to give us the pool key. As others described, the furniture is outdated and I think just replacing the couches would serve them well. We'd definitely stay there again.

Great location! Loved the property and peacefulness of the River and tranquility of every view and fire pit.

Cute and comfortable place, close to downtown. Great for a short stay in Durham!

Very nice residence and a great host!

This house was very cute and was the perfect spot for our stay. Our kids loved the pool and the park thats walking distance away. Charming house!
