Located close to downtown Carrboro and Chapel Hill, The Scout House has all of the rustic charm of a country retreat plus the convenient, urban amenities of The Triangle. The beds (one king and one queen), are brand new and super comfy. The views include a historic barn, ivy covered stables, green pastures, and woods. There is a lightly wooded trail to a serene private pond. The Scout House is a charming and wonderful place to stay for any and all occasions! The space The Scout House is a unique gem – a modern, country hideaway located in a vibrant, cultural community. It's perfect not only for weekend getaways, but also for longer retreats. With all the amenities of a home-away-from-home – including a full kitchen, washer/dryer, large screen TV, books, games, magazines, and a vintage VHS collection – you will be assured of having a comfortable stay. The two bedrooms with brand new beds provide ample space for relaxation and privacy while the tranquil pond will soothe even the weariest of travelers. During the cooler months, guests may enjoy curling up by the wood burning vintage fire place in the living room, or by the fire pit outside. Feel free to explore the grounds, but be mindful not to poke around the outbuildings; they're as old as they look (our tobacco barn dates back to the early 1800s) and definitely in need of some love and restoration. Guest access Guests will have access to the entirety of the cabin including a serene sittin' porch with scenic views. The driveway and parking area are offset from the road and completely private. There are several outdoor seating areas, including cozy spots at the fire pit. There is a lightly wooded path to a large pond where swimming, boating, and quiet contemplation are encouraged. Other things to note This is a small working farm. We have dairy goats and we use poultry as an organic pest management system. We don’t generally let the birds free range prior to noon, and the goat pen is a good distance from the Scout House; hopefully they will not disturb you. We keep a farm gate closed at the top of the driveway; please let us know if this will be problematic for you. The community will thank you for keeping our birds out of traffic, and we will thank you with farm fresh eggs. We love animals, but regretfully cannot accommodate pets. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and your furry sidekicks. You’re welcome to visit with the resident farm animals, feed them snacks, and hug them if you’re so inclined. Unfortunately, due to the complexities of our property, we cannot accommodate children under the age of 12 at this time. For your protection and ours, we have installed a Nest security camera outside, next to the driveway. To ensure your privacy, please note there are absolutely no surveillance devices inside the cabin.
