Easy access to great hiking

Our stay was great, house was clean inside and convenient to hiking and parks (3 playgrounds within about a mile). The outside area was not great for little kids (open porch to drop off, 'picnic' area had high grass and the neighbor's pets had no issue being in the yard with us) but everything else was just as shown and made for an easy stay.

Comfortable Place Near Elkin Center

Great little place about a 15-minute walk into town, Enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. If walking back from town you do have to climb the hill back to the house. Worked out great for our little group. Owner was very responsive and great to deal with.

Elkin Wedding Weekend

The owners are remarkably responsive and went above and beyond. The house was very clean and comfortable and was thoughtfully equipped with snacks, cleaning supplies, paper products, etc. Even the neighbors are very nice. Thank you Erin and great work!

Pick ME!!!

Okay, if you want to be close to downtown Elkin (restaurants, shops, theater) and want to have a comfy, practical home base, this is your spot. This was our second stay here (and we plan to stay here again and again). The owners and support staff deserve all five stars in all the categories above. Got to explore Elkin more this time and enjoyed the trails (with foot bridges) and the vineyards and the Reeves Theater (music venue). Restaurants in downtown Elkin are great in terms of quality and variety. This specific VRBO home is convenient to all of the above. We are looking forward to our next stay!
