The Barnhouse
**Currently, we offer only extended stay or long term rental.**
Located six miles west of Chapel Hill, NC, and UNC, the Barnhouse at Genesis Farm is a private retreat like none other in the area. A pastoral setting is the backdrop for your visit, whether for days or weeks. Your stay in our cottage will be enhanced by the main comforts and unique features found in the Barnhouse that give it a charm of its own.
Rather than provide a traditional breakfast, at your request, upon your arrival we will stock the kitchen with locally-produced foods (two of our neighbors own popular dairies that make artisan cheeses, fresh milk and other dairy products) that include fresh-baked bread and pastries, and eggs from our own sassy hens. If you prefer, we will gladly recommend restaurants in the area renown for their delicious breakfasts.
A ten-minute drive from Chapel Hill will find you off the beaten path and onto a twenty-acre working farm that applies organic methods to grow vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers. Enjoy the splendid sunsets on the deck, overlooking the barnyard, gardens and pastures. Leave behind the hectic, fast-paced techno-world and breathe in the sounds and smells of nature.
