Relax & Reconnect at this Thoughtful River Retreat
Relax, Recharge & Reconnect at a Cozy, Thoughtfully Appointed River Retreat!
Mayberry River Retreat is a completely rebuilt, modern riverfront A-frame designed for one household or a small group to enjoy meaningful time together. Everything in the home is brand new—from windows and finishes to furniture and fixtures—creating a calm, comfortable space that feels intentional and easy to settle into.
With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home offers a rich, experience-filled stay without excess space, making it ideal for families, couples, or small groups who value quality, design, and togetherness.
Inside the Home
The main living area is open, light-filled, and centered around connection.
Highlights include:
• Open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area
• 10-foot eat-in island designed for shared meals, games, and conversation
• Soaring two-story A-frame windows with peaceful river views
• Comfortable living space for relaxing together
• Strong Wi-Fi and Smart TVs for downtime or remote work
Fully Stocked Kitchen
Guests consistently appreciate how well equipped the kitchen is.
Kitchen features include:
• High-end cookware, knives, bakeware, and serving pieces
• Everything needed to cook, serve, and enjoy meals together
• Our pay-it-forward pantry, stocked by previous guests and loved by many—perfect for forgotten basics or shared generosity
Sleeping Arrangements

o King bed
o Ensuite bathroom with custom tiled shower
• Family Bedroom (Custom Built):

About the host
Hosted by Beata Lorinc
Hi, I’m Beata Lorinc, and I’m so glad you’re considering Mayberry River Retreat 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. Mayberry River Retreat 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.
