We were visiting family in the Mt. Airy, N.C., and we're a little concerned about the distance, but the drive from Charlotte to Galax, and the repeated trips to Mt. Airy were a breeze. In fact, very pleasurable. The location was perfect considering our sight-seeing agenda along the Parkway, and our family church in Round Peak. The house itself is gorgeous, very clean and well equipped. Three large sinks and a huge refrigerator, as well as all the small appliances you would ever need make this house perfect for a large group. We only had 5 people so we had plenty of space and privacy, with large private rooms and bathrooms for everybody. The view is incredible being right on the river and we saw a lot of wildlife. A large buck was standing on the road as we drove up to the house. Many deer come down to the river for a drink at dusk. We saw large flocks of geese flying formation at low altitude along the river. We can't wait to return to this property. I would recommend it to anyone seeking comfort, the serenity of nature and separation from the hustle of the city. The property manager was very friendly and accommodating. We needed an extra day and it was an easy fix. Book it now. You won't be disappointed. DJ.
