Raft the Dan River and experience the Zip Line nearby. Friday night in Floyd, the Country Store is alive with flat footing and bluegrass bands form in the alleys and on corners.
One of Virginia’s best parks is Fairy Stone State Park only 25 miles away. Named after the crosses of stone that can be found, the park boasts a 168 acre Lake with beach, boating, fishing, scenic nature trails and picnic spots or sink your hook in the nearby Keibler Valley for mountain trout.

Mayberry Presbyterian Church, founded in the early 1920’s by Rev, Bob Childress whose efforts were immortalized in the book “The Man Who Moved a Mountain”. Both a short walk from the Lodge.

Poor Farmer’s Market and Deli in Meadows of Dan is a must see, don’t miss the Hoop Cheese or fresh baked desserts. Also see Nancy’s Candies, tour the Homemade Fudge factory as chocolates and fudge are being made.
Great Wedding Venue: Spring is showy with Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron, summer abounds with the flowery garden and aviary acrobatics, fall is spectacular as color of the Parkway with October festivals and winter is a great romantic getaway by the 2 fireplaces inside and 1 outside.

Great Family Rental

This was the perfect rental for our family to get together. We all had plenty of room and the location was beautiful. We had fun fishing at the pond and our family was able to relax. Having a separate bathroom for each bedroom worked out wonderfully.

You abused, my cleaning crew, and my maintenance staff. After dealing with you, the first two days you checked in my staff commented nothing was ever gonna make you happy I am sorry you feel that the outside we’re nature, rains and things get dirty or not up to your standards. I had a long conversation with Roger. He told me he heated up the outside grill for over 10 minutes at over 500°, which would kill any bacteria or residue on the grill. It’s an outside gas grill in now would be is perfectly clean to use, but you refuse to use it. As far as tables outside yes, they will get dirty with the weather. I feel it might be best for you just to leave and I will refund you your money for the nights. You are not staying at our property. Wish you the best in life. I hope that you can find perfect harmony with everything you do. That’s why I told you, you can leave and get your money back for the night you didn’t stay…

Perfect for family weekend

This was exactly what my family was looking for. We wanted a place to spend time together in the outdoors. We did catch and release fishing on the property and the kids caught tons of blue gill and even a few large mouth bass. The property had so much space for our easter egg hunt. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises on the back porch overlooking the water while drinking our morning coffee and sunsets in the evening sitting around the fire making s'mores. There are cute small towns nearby to explore and even a few historic areas on the parkway. We hope to stay at this property many times in the future.

Beautiful Place

Me and my family loved it here. If you are looking for high speed internet this isn’t the place but we was looking for somewhere to disconnect & spend quality time together. Even with the storms that rolled in Saturday we still had a great time & enjoyed sitting on the sun porch and watching it. We will definitely be coming back again.

October stay Lodge at Mayberry

We had a great time! My family enjoyed the Townes dam for canoeing, went to Buffalo Mountain for hiking and played lots of croquet. The property is perfect for the size of our family, gives us lots of room for grand children! The only negative is there needs to be some light bulbs replaced to allow optimal lighting

Great location, friendly hosts, good support, but....

We loved the location- right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Close to plenty of sightseeing and activities.We hosted a family weekend with 4 couples and 3 kids. We enjoyed kayaking in the small pond, played games in the large yard, and had a barbeque on the patio. We thoroughly enjoyed the daytime activities. The sleeping arrangements were another story. Only the queen bedroom had privacy. All the other beds were in shared spaces. The pullout couches, as is the norm, were lumpy.The inside spaces were clean but outdated. There was an abundance of seating and conversation groupings.The outside spaces were dingy and somewhat unkept. We saw some wildlife- always a pleasure. With a littleTLC the place would be spectaular.

Peaceful retreat

We had a lovely stay at the lodge at Mayberry. We loved the property! After taking hikes in the morning we would return to the property and play games in the afternoon. We played ping pong, disc golf and croquet. It was so much fun! The pantry was well stocked. Double ovens came in very handy. Had everything we needed for nice dinners. Would stay here again!

Queit relaxing get away

Great location for visiting Mt. Airy and Stuart Va. Enjoyed fishing right from your back yard and our son loved the game room. Check in was a breeze. The kitchen was well stocked to prepare a meal dishes, utensils, spices etc. The town Meadows of Dan is just a gew miles away and has everything youd need if you forgot something. People in the area are really nice. We didnt want to leave.

This property is well maintained and in a beautiful setting. We all had a wonderful time. There was enough space for everyone to find an area where they were comfortable. Our only concern was no keys for the house could be found so we had no access to the garage. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home.

Great Property!!

This was our family’s second visit to this property in two years. Our family from WV and FL met here for family time and visiting our ancestors birthplace. I visited this area every year growing up and the Woody’s home made a perfect place to stay. My 8 year old great grandson loved fishing in the pond and caught enough fish both years for us to have a fish dinner. I’ve been renting vacation homes for 30 years and this is my “favorite “ place. Thank you Woody family for allowing us to enjoy this beautiful property again this year.

Great Place with beautiful grounds!

We were there for three nights for a family reunion. The house is old with vintage furnishings. That being said, it was clean and well stocked. Appliances newish and all worked. One ding was black mold in the second bedroom bath ceiling. Beds were very good and comfortable. One other note: my 92 year old mother could not walk to the house. Had to drive her.

Didn’t want to leave!

This place was a real hidden gem. Honestly, did not want to leave. Really fit our family in its decor and ambiance. Home was very clean, more than enough room for members of a family to have their own space and a common area for gathering. The pond was an amazing addition and we enjoyed kayaking on it everyday. Kids enjoyed games in the yard and adults enjoyed walking the property and road for some leisurely exercise. We absolutely had an amazing time. No one who stays on this property should leave disappointed. Rest, fun, beauty, and perfect for a romantic retreat or a place where a family to slow things down to really enjoy what’s most important, each other. I will definately be staying here again.

Peaceful Spot

Everything was accurate as listed. Beautiful little lake behind the house with fish, turtles and maybe an otter. We had turkeys, deer, songbirds and a couple of hawks visit regularly. Even saw a bear across the lake. Great location. Only drawback is distance from drive to house and across a rough sidewalk. Makes loading and unloading luggage and groceries very difficult for “older” adults. Owner does not allow vehicles on grass and provides no other means of transporting things from parking area to house.

Thank You for your note. We are in the process of getting a quote to remove the rock laid sidewalk and replace it with a concrete side walk. We are always looking for improvements to better serve and help out gust.
