Pine Forest Hideaway is Hosted by Jonathan Taylor ("J.T.") Smith of Blue Chariot Properties. J.T. founded Blue Chariot in 2015 with the goal of transforming neighborhoods one house at a time — by rehabbing distressed homes into rental properties. And now with over 3-dozen such projects completed, Pine Forest Hideaway highlights J.T.'s and Blue Chariot's venture into short / mid-term and vacation rentals — with more to come!

Welcome to [The House] @ Pine Forest Hideaway, a stylish and spacious 3-Bedroom + Bonus Room / 2.5-Bath retreat nestled on 2.5 wooded acres just 12 minutes from UNC and moments from Jordan Lake. With nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, this home offers comfort, convenience, and peaceful seclusion — ideal for families, friends, or guests visiting the area for UNC events, Jordan Lake adventures, or a relaxing escape from the city (while still being near the city). Inside, you’ll find real hardwood and tile flooring throughout — no carpet. The main living area features a cozy brick fireplace, reclining leather seating and a 65" Samsung Smart TV for movie nights or game days. The modern kitchen includes black stainless steel appliances, black granite countertops, white soft-close cabinets, and a motion-activated faucet for added convenience. Upstairs, the spacious main bedroom includes a split-king adjustable bed, another 65" Samsung Smart-TV, and a private bathroom with a jetted tub and tiled shower. The second bedroom offers a full-size adjustable bed, and the third bedroom features twin bunk beds. A second full bathroom with a tub and tiled shower is located upstairs, while the half-bath downstairs doubles as a laundry room with Samsung front-loading washer and dryer. Pine Forest Hideaway is no ordinary property... It is an example of taking what was old and distressed and making it new and wonderful again. This property sat vacant for over a decade before J.T. bought it — to transition it from a former hoarder house, into what is now a pristine short or mid-term / vacation rental. To that end, nearly EVERYTHING IS NEW — which goes along perfectly with just how well located this property is in Chapel Hill by Jordan Lake — and just how much you're going to LOVE what we've done with it! And we've got more coming for this property, but just as it is now (which is really nice by the way) — you'll really enjoy staying here!

The House @ Pine Forest Hideaway is in Chapel Hill - NC, near the Governor's Club area and just off Jordan Lake. It sits near the end of 1-mile long Whippoorwill Lane on a 2.5 acre wooded lot that is both quite and secluded — while still being only 12 minutes from UNC (schools and hospitals). Like the neighbors, you can enjoy a walk down Whippoorwill Lane, or hop in the car for a 5-minute drive for groceries (Food Lion) and local dining options. Jordan Lake’s beach areas, trails, and fishing spots are just a short drive away. And when you venture further out, I-40 is nearby, providing quick and easy access to Durham, Apex, Cary and Raleigh (all within 30 minutes) — and if flying in/out, RDU Airport is just 22 minutes away. Plus, Downtown Chapel Hill is less than 6 miles away. Pine Forest Hideaway provides access to nature's beauty and sounds (day and night) — while still being near it all. Whether you're here for a Tar Heels game, a concert in Raleigh, a show at DPAC in Durham, a weekend on Jordan Lake, or an event in Apex, Cary or nearby — Pine Forest Hideaway offers the perfect blend of style, modern amenities, comfort, privacy and prime location.
