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.

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.

My parents have been going to Mt Airy every year for Mayberry Days for 32 years straight. I hadn't been there since I was a kid so this year we decided to surprise my dad with a house and my husband and I tagging along. This house was perfect for us, my parents, and friends of my parents. We had plenty of space and were close enough to downtown that we could walk. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved sitting on the front porch in the evenings. The beds were comfortable and the hosts even left some snacks for us when we got in from our 10 hour drive. We would definitely recommend!
