The Windy Oaks Inn is Chapel Hill's only bed and breakfast, located less than five miles from the campus of the University of North Carolina. This Piedmont T style farmhouse, and the former home of Pulitzer Prize winning playwright laureate and author Paul Green, is nestled on 25 acres among the towering oaks for which it is named.

This country retreat, which dates to the 1890's, has been lovingly renovated while respecting the historical integrity of the home. The Windy Oaks Inn offers a tranquil escape to a more peaceful time. Guests can explore the grounds on the Triple Trunk Trail; relax on the patio under the shade of 200 year-old oaks; enjoy the deep croaking of the bullfrogs in the fish pond; or curl up with a book in front of the fire in Paul Green's cozy, comfortable library. Tastefully furnished in a Southern eclectic, primitive stye, the Inn offers five rooms, including two suites (two rooms have fireplaces). Colorful outsider and folk art from well-known artists decorate throughout. (All artwork is available for purchase and may make the perfect gift or souvenir from your stay!)

The Windy Oaks Inn is within minutes of the University of North Carolina. Duke University, North Carolina State University, the sights of Raleigh/Durham, and Research Triangle Park are a 30-minute drive away. We are one hour from Pinehurst, two hours from Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach and four hours from Asheville.

Other nearby attractions include historic Hillsborough, Sea Grove and High Point.
