Super cute little cabin, really a tiny house. If you want to be in the country and enjoy a lovely property, this is your place. For me, I realized I would have liked to be closer to restaurant options and closer to where I was doing dog sports.

Great property!

Perfect property to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The cottage is nicely equipped for a 2 person stay with newer amenities. My wife looked forward to having a morning cup of coffee with the goats, and we took some time to explore the river frontage which is beautiful.

Fabulous and Relaxing Place to Stay

Me and my husband just wanted a quick and easy place to get to not far from home and this was perfect. We wanted to go to Old Salem and Mt. Airy and this was a perfect place in between. The space was warm and inviting. There were snacks and fresh eggs to cook, if desired. We loved walking down to the creek and enjoying the beautiful grounds. The owners are super nice!!

Nice Overnight Stay

This is a nicely furnished and very clean cabin. It is a few miles from Winston Salem and close to several area attractions. Also close to several restaurants in Walnut Cove. Try the Olympic Restaurant, you won't be disappointed. Mel's Country Cottage makes a great overnight stop if you are in the area. All of my questions were answered quickly by the owners. Try it, you'll like it.

About the host

Hosted by Joseph scott

Host profile image
Joe & Cindy Scott. We have 10 children & 33 grandchildren. We have retired after 45 years in the drywall business. We enjoy sitting on the porch, grandkids & watching our animals and the nature that surrounds us.
We aren’t totally as chilled as that sounds. We spend a lot of time keeping up our 12 acres. Occasionally we break away and travel. We enjoy canoeing & fishing. We have rented since 2019 & have enjoyed meeting the nicest people.

Why they chose this property

Germanton is very quiet and friendly with a lot of farmers and family in the area. Located near Winston Salem & Walnut Cove. Lots of hiking in the area with Hanging Rock just 20 minutes away. Wedding venues are close as well as Belews lake.

What makes this property unique

The outdoors make us unique with the chickens & goats. On our 12 acres there is a nice creek to explore and plenty of nature surrounding. A great place to bring your dog.
