There is a1so a firepit that you can relax by. Inside the cottage is everything you will need to be comfortable. As you watch TV or read a good book, you can turn on the gas logs in the fireplace.

The cottage was all that we had hoped. A quiet retreat to relax and come back to after a day of exploring wineries and hiking. The river and fire lit provide a wonderful back drop to sit and relax. The cottage is perfect for a couple.

Peaceful Cottage Retreat

Joyce's cottage is the perfect place to relax and breathe deep. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful with the river running through the back of the property. I also noticed several different types of birds and wildlife. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, this is the place for you.

Great Little Hideaway

This cottage was perfect for a couple. Even though it’s near the road, it’s orientation makes you feel like there’s no one for miles. The view overlooking the yard and stream was very peaceful. The proximity to wineries and hiking was nice and it’s just a short drive to Mount Airy. Definitely recommended for a couple escaping the city.

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!

This property was the perfect location for a quiet, relaxing weekend. We loved being able to listen to the creek and look out the windows to see nothing but nature. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and plenty of towels in the bathroom. We appreciated the snacks too! We'll definitely look to stay here again when we need another rejuvenating weekend for just the two of us!

Adorable cottage

House is cozy, clean, thoughtfully appointed, and as described, and within a short drive to wineries, Elkin, and hiking. Owner is very responsive. Property is serene next to the river and tucked back behind trees from the road. We went back and forth from heat to air due to varied temperatures and were always quite comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked and we enjoyed breakfast at the table with the morning sunshine. Note: there is no dishwasher, ice maker, or in-sink disposal, but we were only there for breakfasts, so didn't bother us. Bathroom has updated fixtures. Bed is right off the living space as pictured so you can watch TV from the couch or bed. Bed and pillows were a little firm for us. Living area was cozy. Enjoyed reading in one of the chairs by the windows. Could use a small coffee table in front of the couch so there is a place to put drinks. We enjoyed our stay and will plan to stay again when in the area!

Mid-Week Spring Break Interlude

We always enjoy staying here. Joyce and Junior are excellent hosts, and they are very responsive. We would give them 6 stars if it were possible! Always clean, well-stocked, and maintained. Beautiful, expansive, quiet property adjacent to the river.

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.

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.
