Family Wedding

Property was as pictured. It was very roomy with several areas for our group to gather. We especially enjoyed the front porch and living room. We had a group of ten people and were able to have plenty of room. The layout is two bedrooms on the main floor and three bedrooms upstairs. While we didn’t cook at the house, the kitchen was well stocked and had a nice bar area if you need one. A variety of small appliances were available and a large closet with supplies was there to use. I certainly recommend this property for a family stay such as ours.

Home in Mt Airy

This is a beautiful old home with period decorations and furnishings in the living areas and updated kitchen and bathrooms. We loved the Christmas decorations (outside and inside).We were in town for a funeral and this was a great home away from home with plenty of separate gathering areas. 2 living rooms, dining room, kitchen in addition to the 5 bedrooms.

Wonderful home and host

The house was beautiful, well kept and comfortable. It was in a great location that was walking distance to all things touristy! The backyard was fenced in so my 2 dogs got to run around safely and have fun as well! We had an ac incident so I texted Shannon and she sent over a repairman within the hour who quickly fixed the problem. Everything we needed was provided and little extras made us feel very special! I highly recommend this home for your stay in the area!

Just what we needed

Plenty of room and we loved the fenced in backyard with gazebo, seating, and firepit. We spent much time sitting on the front porch as well. Place was stocked with the basic supplies needed for our stay and they even had some snacks and supplies to make smores. We all agreed that we were going to book the same place next year for our get together.

Perfect for a family getaway

This property was everything we could have wanted and more. We were in town for a funeral and wanted a place that the entire family could stay in besides separate hotel rooms. The house was very spacious and accommodating. The owners obviously went to great lengths to ensure that we had everything we needed. The location to downtown was within walking distance. Our favorite activity was sitting on the comfy chairs on the front porch and watching everyone walking and driving by. I don’t always give properties rave reviews but this one is definitely in my top five best ever.
