Beautiful, peaceful property - close to conveniences
Our staff went here for an offsite and enjoyed the house and everything about it. The house was gorgeous, well laid out, and well stocked with basics and beyond. The weather was great, so we enjoyed time out on the deck and down by the river. It was a great space for a group to spend time together, with plenty of areas to spread out when we wanted some time apart. We loved the remote feeling, while still being close to town for food, fun, and the greenway.
The place was beautiful, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the host was quick to respond and very helpful. It's a perfect place for a family get-together.

Great Riverside Memories
We had a wonderful family stay at Riverside Memories in Mount Airy. The property is terrific and well-kitted out and Beata is very attentive and lovely. Very well located to attractions in the lovely Blue Ridge area.
This house was absolutely perfect for us! We met our three adult kids and their families here and there was something for everyone to do, including the toddler! We had a fire out back, played disc-golf, used the hot tub, and enjoyed the deck. My daughter really appreciated the loft with all of the toys- it kept our granddaughter happy! The house was expansive and easily had enough room for all of nine of us plus two dogs. Mt. Airy is a nice town and we had fun checking everything out on Main Street. The host was communicative and helpful.We are looking forward to staying again! Thank you!
This place was not only well equipped the quality was there too. There was something for everyone, we all had a great time and are planning on making it our annual reunion spot
We loved the river behind the home, its one of the prettiest rivers and so much fun to play in and climb on the big rocks. The grandchildren loved the upstairs playroom and the outside playground with climbing wall, slide & swings!!! The adults loved the large rooms & indoor and outdoor games. It was so well located to walking trails, parks and downtown. This place was amazing. The owner is immediate with communications .

Perfect place for a large family
Can't say enough about this property. We have big and small kids, as well as us grandparents/parents and it was perfect for everyone.
Close enough to town for convenience (highly recommend the Lowes about 5 minutes away) but far enough away to be peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck, the kids loved the play area and the river!! Can't wait to book this again in the summer to enjoy the river more and the pool.
Love the attention to detail here. If you want a great "home base" for your mountain vacation, this is it!! Plenty of space to relax after a day of exploring.
We brought a group of individuals with disabilities from Northern Kentucky to visit the hometown of Andy Griffith and the house was awesome. Everyone had a great time.
Girl's Annual Trip was amazing!! This cabin is absolutely stunning. Plenty of room for a large group and the amenities are SUPERB!! Kitchen is excellently stocked, best I've ever seen! Hope to go with a family group next time!!!
This was my family’s 9th annual fall girls trip and this was by far one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. The house was very clean, well stocked, and organized. This host takes extra care to provide little touches to make the house very convenient and comfortable. My elderly grandmother could get around well and my mother who is in a wheelchair was also able to use everything with ease. The host is very responsive and easy to reach. It was very convenient to downtown and the store was only a few minutes away. It’s really hard to find a home that will comfortably fit a large crowd, but this house was it. I would absolutely recommend anyone stay here.
Our family loved the beautiful home on the river. It was the perfect size for our family of 10. The children loved the pool and all the games. It was a very relaxing week and we were very impressed with how clean and how nice the house was. We enjoyed visiting Mt Airy as our children love the Andy Griffith show.
We stayed here with our extended family for a week and had a fantastic time. We had a number of kids under age 10 with us and found the house and the pool well equipped for their imaginations. The weather was super hot that week, but with the trees and the water... we felt like we'd found an oasis. Very close to all things Andy Griffith and Mayberry as well as Pilot Mountain.
Found home just as advertised. A great quiet location. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Great location on the river where we enjoyed several camp fires. House has everything you need in the kitchen and plenty of spices. Only disappointment was the fishing, was hoping for some good trout fishing but none to to had. That is the way fishing goes!

Family Memorial Day Trip
We had a great time with our friends and teenage kids this past weekend. The house has so much to offer from location, river view to a great stocked kitchen. We had lots of room for us and our furry friends. House was clean and the property manager was helpful and available. Will surely be back.
This is a beautiful home! The property feels secluded but it’s actually in town close to everything. Perfect for a family with all ages - playroom for toddlers, game room for older kids. It was perfect!

Mayberry Days
First time staying at Riverside Memories and it was fabulous. I would highly recommend staying here, you're away tucked back off the road so no noise whatsoever. Very peaceful, beautiful view over the river below, while it did have a pool, because of some rain showers, and the water was a little cool, we did not use it but it's very nice with plenty of seating around the pool for games and a family gathering for sure. Beata is one of the best to work with, very accommodating, caring and available by text or phone if needed. Highly recommend staying here especially if you have a large family, you can even use the small cottage right beside the house.

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.
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.
