About this property

Tranquil sounds of the Dan River heard from the front porch or by the firepit.

This 4 bedroom 2 bath remodeled home is surrounded by 25 acres of grass fields with 1,000 feet bordering the beautiful Dan River. Imagine splashing in the cool water. Go for a leisurely walk down the 3/4 mile - low traffic gravel lane. At night sit on the porch and listen to the tranquil sounds of the river, do a little stargazing or grill your favorite steak, sit around the firepit or picnic table. When you go inside you can relax by the electric fireplace with someone special. Read, watch Roku TV, play chess or checkers. There's plenty of space with 4 bedrooms, and a playroom with a futon that folds out to make a double bed. Two full bathrooms, one on the main level and one upstairs. Bring the family, play a yard game, shoot a few hoops or relax and enjoy the peace and quiet for your next vacation or just a few days to rest and recharge. You deserve a nice get-away. Book your stay today.

About the host

Hosted by Estelle

Host profile image
We love to host family events as well as gatherings with friends. We also enjoy all the local festivals and drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Playing - tubing - fishing - wading in Dan River makes great family memories.

Why they chose this property

This property can accomodate a large family at a very reasonable price while providing an ample variety of activities both on the property and nearby towns. We are about an hour's drive from Winston-Salem NC, with Hanes Mall, Reynolda House, Kaledium Museum, Old Salem, Bethabara. Several State Parks: Pilot Mtn., and Hanging Rock NC and Fairy Stone Park in VA.

What makes this property unique

This home is very secluded, yet less than half a mile from a well traveled secondary road. Just 15 miles NE of Mount Airy, NC (Mayberry), with it's festivals, great restaurants and shopping. Drive about 7 miles up to the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway for magnificent views at the many overlooks. Just 3 miles to the Claudville entrance to Primland Resort with fine dining and world class golf course.
