Perfectly Charming!
The Carriage House could not have been any more perfect for our stay in Hillsborough. Great location, clean, cozy, and comfortable for the two of us. We left thinking this beautiful little cottage will be “our place” whenever we travel to Hillsborough to visit our kids and grandkids!

Wonderful stay!!
The carriage house is a beautifully updated historic home in a safe and quiet neighborhood. It was a perfect home away from home for our family when in town for a wedding- well equipped, exceptionally clean, and quite charming! Highly recommend!!!

Charming Carriage House
We loved staying at the carriage house. It is beautifully decorated and maintained, and by far, the cleanest rental I have ever stayed. The owners thought of everything to make our stay feel like home, from first aid kits and flashlights to a desk stocked with notepad, pens, and paper clips. Thank you for a lovely stay!

The Best
This carriage house is wonderful. The owners restored it beautifully and furnished it so thoughtfully. It seemed as though we were staying in someone's home--all the little details made it awfully easy to wish we were staying for more than just a few days. Thank you for having us!
