About this property
Slow Down, Connect & Make Lasting Memories by the River
Welcome to Riverside Memories in Mt. Airy, NC, a picturesque riverfront oasis nestled on 3 wooded private acres. This stunning property is our family’s latest addition to the NCEscapes suite of vacation rentals, and it's an ideal nature escape with breathtaking views and direct private access to the Ararat River. Located just 2.5 miles from the vibrant downtown area of Mt. Airy, this true log cabin offers an elevated and tranquil getaway.
Key Features:
Brand New Guest Cottage with a King Bed, Queen Sleeper Sofa, Kitchenette, and Full Bathroom
Recently installed 6-person hot tub, perfect for unwinding and relaxation
Direct Private Riverfront access for playing and fishing
Unheated in-ground swimming pool open May 1-September 30
Dogs are welcome
King-sized beds
Game room for kids and adults, as well as a playroom for the little ones
Fire pit, cornhole, and a private disc golf course
Fully stocked kitchen and grill

Your Comfort Is Our Priority:
At Riverside Memories, every effort has been made to ensure your comfort and enjoyment. Our property offers a professionally designed private Disc Golf Course, a full Spectrum cable package, and Spectrum GIG Internet with a mesh network for strong Wifi throughout the home. Cell signal on-site can be spotty, so we recommend using Wifi calling on your phone settings—Verizon tends to have better reception than AT&T.
Enjoy the Outdoors:
While staying at Riverside Memories, immerse yourself in nature and take advantage of riverfront access for activities like fishing and swimming. The river is stocked with trout about 10 miles upriver and offers a refreshing and natural setting for various water activities. Additionally, guests can look forward to seeing wildlife, including deer and other critters, making your stay a true nature experience.
Living Spaces and Amenities:
You’ll find three comfortable common spaces within the cabin, equipped with central AC and heat. The main floor living room features a gas fireplace and a 65” Samsung Smart TV, while the second floor open loft provides a quiet reading nook and play space for children. The basement game room is perfect for indoor entertainment on rainy days, including board games, an old school Ms. Pac Man arcade, a foosball table, and a Wii.
The kitchen is fully equipped with brand new stainless steel appliances, a gas stove with a built-in griddle, and a handmade 8’ black walnut river table with 10 matching dining chairs. You can find everything you need for preparing meals and enjoying dining together with your group.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms:
The property offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main level, along with an additional full bathroom in the basement. Each bedroom provides Samsung Smart TVs, while the ensuite King bedroom suite boasts a desk and rocking chair.
Outdoor Fun:
Delight in the assortment of outdoor amenities, from the unheated inground pool overlooking the river to the fire pit, charcoal grill, and 9-hole disc golf course on the property. With plenty of seating options, including loungers and Adirondack chairs, you can fully embrace the serene environment.
Parking and Safety:
The property provides ample parking for at least 8 cars in the private driveway, and safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and exterior lighting are in place to ensure a secure stay.
We Hope to Host You:
We’re thrilled to have had such positive feedback since June 2023, and we look forward to hosting you too! If you have any questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us through the VRBO app.

About the host
Hosted by Beata Lorinc
Hi, I’m Beata Lorinc, and I’m so glad you’re considering Riverside Memories for your stay.
I’m a longtime short-term rental owner and professional property manager with over a decade of experience hosting guests and caring for homes. Riverside Memories is not just a rental to me—it’s a place I’ve thoughtfully designed, curated, and maintained to create the kind of stays guests remember long after they return home.
I believe the best vacations aren’t about checking off attractions—they’re about slowing down, being present, and spending quality time with the people who matter most. My goal is to provide a space that feels welcoming, well cared for, and easy to enjoy, with clear communication and attention to detail from booking through checkout.

Why they chose this property
Riverside Memories stands apart because it was created with intention, not just amenities.
While the home offers one of the most amenity-rich riverfront experiences in the area, what guests appreciate most is how everything works together to support connection. The layout encourages shared meals, conversation, play, and relaxation—without feeling crowded or overwhelming.
Guests consistently choose Riverside Memories for:
The calming presence of the river and surrounding nature
Thoughtfully designed spaces that welcome families and groups
Unique features you won’t find elsewhere, like the custom-built Adventure Tower
A home that feels personal, cared for, and truly comfortable
A peaceful setting that’s still close to town, shops, and attractions
This isn’t a party house or an event venue. It’s a place for families and friends who want to be together, unwind, and create meaningful memories in a beautiful riverfront setting.
