This home was immaculate and comfortable. The host’s have thought of everything you need as your home away from home. Very family friendly. We enjoyed sitting down by the creek and taking in all God’s wonder. Beautiful and extremely relaxing. We are huge Andy Griffith Show fans, so our trip to Mayberry was a must. It’s a short drive to Mt Airy.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely, clean house in a beautiful setting! We met for an early holiday gathering and were able to cook large meals in the kitchen with the provided pots & pans with a little creativity (Sangria mixed in a stock pot & regular muffins downsized to fit the mini muffin pan provided) we also enjoyed some hiking at Stone Mountain and visiting a few wineries. We had one minor hiccup with the door lock but owner was easy to reach and helped with some troubleshooting. We really enjoyed spending time down by the creek, there is a bit of a hill to walk up & down (or a set of stairs) to get to the water which was a little difficult for our toddler. Overall a pleasant stay. Thanks!

Great house!

We loved spending time in your house. The River and Vine House was perfect for our group of ladies. It was well appointed, clean and very comfortable. We especially loved sitting on the deck in the morning, drinking our coffee, and in the evenings, drinking our wines from some of the local wineries we visited. What fun!! Thank you!
