Dovefield-swim, hike, fish near UNC

Correction: our stay was between Sep 10-Sep 16, 2025 ( see image attached). Dovefield is a magical place, with trees, trails, ponds, birds, yoga mat in the front porch and fenced-in back porch where we could watch our dogs play while chatting with family. Our entire stay was serene and restful. Hosts were thoughtful people who prepared a wonderful home away from home for us to stay.

This is our third visit. Our daughter lives nearby. This is a beautiful and peaceful place. We enjoy birdwatching and nature is all around. The cabin is always spotless and comfortable. There are great restaurants nearby. The hosts always make this a magical place to visit each year.Phil and Ann and Caffeine the dog.

Wow! What a great place to revisit. Beautiful cabin overlooking an enormous meadow and pond from the front porch of a wonderful cabin. On 53 acres, I believe, surrounded by woods. Everything inside is immaculate and very well upkept. Wonderful, attentive caretakers. Thank you for another memorable vacation stay.

After recently moving away from Chapel Hill, we needed a pet-friendly, quiet space close to those we came to visit. The cottage was fun, cozy, and just as advertised. Bonus for coyote yips and snarls while making s'mores! Great job by the hosts.

Everything about this property was perfect - the house, the yard, which is partially fenced-in and great for dogs, the open field, the ponds, the trail through standing pines & tons of birds feasting on the bird feeder!
