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.

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful, peaceful stay!

This is a fantastic little cottage on a gorgeous property! The cottage was very clean and had all of the basic necessities. This property is located nearby to multiple vineyards and small towns, yet it feels very secluded and quiet! I would definitely recommend visiting!

Happy Place

Our stay was relaxing and peaceful. We love staying there. My husband loves to fish for fun and we will return again in the near future. The cottage is very clean and stocked well. The bed is comfortable and the sheets are soft. We love the fire pit at the river, you can sit and relax. This is our favorite place to stay now.
