Short drive to scenic overlook. Beautiful country in fall
Less than 30 minute drive to Mt. Airy
Personally I'm a big and tall guy, shower doors made it a bit snug, otherwise great amenities.
Would highly recommend to friends and family.

Cozy Cottage
The cottage is all that we had hoped for and more. It’s beautiful and clean and as stated, cozy. The river and ponds were an added bonus. It was so peaceful and relaxing. It felt like we were in a different world. We hated for the week to end. The owners were very kind and assisted when needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better week.

Exceeded Our Expectations
We cannot say enough good about this property and the hosts. The house was very clean and boasted plenty of space for our needs. It was even better than their description on the Vrbo site. The bed was very comfortable, and we had plenty of cooking and dining space. The bathroom was also larger than we anticipated in a smaller cottage. We were truly amazed at the size of the yard and the amenities that were included. I thoroughly enjoyed practicing my fly casting at the two small ponds and later, wading and fly fishing the nearly half mile expanse of the Mitchell River behind the house. I caught a dozen fish, and my wife took several pics. My wife also swam in the swimming area on the river, and we lazed in the shade in the zero-gravity chairs in the evening. Also available was a lighted sitting area next to the river with a fire pit, picnic table, and horseshoe pits. We also witnessed a small paddle boat on the first pond. Although we declined, our hosts offered us tubes to float the river. On our first morning, we discovered that the Keurig was not working; however, within less than an hour, the hosts picked up the non-functional unit, and dropped off a brand new Keurig still in the box. Junior and Joyce are outstanding and hospitable hosts. We cannot wait to return in October!

Rest by the River
Such a restful time. The cottage was not only beautiful it has everything you could possibly need for comfort and functionality. We also loved the mix of vintage and new. Truly a unique and quaint aesthetic. In addition, the view from the bay window was stunning. We even saw chubby woodchuck hanging out in the backyard. Sincerely a special place. We will definitely be back.

Our stay was relaxing and peaceful. We love staying there. My husband loves to fish for fun and we will return again in the near future. The cottage is very clean and stocked well. The bed is comfortable and the sheets are soft. We love the fire pit at the river, you can sit and relax. This is our favorite place to stay now.

Perfect Mountain Cottage
This cottage was the perfect gettaway for two!! We were in the area for a wedding and stayed here and it was perfect. Just what my husband and I needed. It was clean, organized, comfortable (the bed and sheets were comfy and smelled fresh out of the laundry), and overall a wonderful stay. We will be back!!!
This is a beautiful peaceful property with great fishing, several seating areas and beautiful views. It was perfect for the two of us. We loved the fire pit and the great star views

Nice place great location
Well thought out setup for small cottage. Close enough to the local attractions but not in town. While we got out a did the tourist thing, you could easily stay right there with fishihng in the river or swimming in it and nice fire pit. The cottage itself is setup well for a small place very cozy for 2 people. The only draw back is the secuirty light shining in the window. I liked to had heavy curtain or something to block it out at night.
