The Dan River house was very roomy. The kitchen had basic supplies for all our cooking needs. Lots of pillows and blankets. Estella was a very gracious host and answered all our questions.We enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the river. The grandchildren played in the river, even though it was October. We will be back in the summer to try tubing on the Dan River.
This place is so peaceful. Very clean. Reasonably priced. Sounds of the river. No traffic. Everything you need to stay here is provided. A great place to get away from everything. Definitely stay here again.
This is a repeat rental (5 years so far) for our family of grown children and grandchildren. We raft and play in the river, disconnect 90% from technology (but the wi-fi is great), play games and prepare meals in the family/style kitchen equipped with everything we need. Host Estelle is always responsive. The memories made here are some of the grandchildrenâs fondest memories - as well as all the rest of us. It is our âhappy placeâ, and always feels like coming home!
My siblings and I were there from Missouri for my fatherâs Celebration of Life. The Dan River property was just what the doctor ordered: peaceful and serene. The property is a perfect private hideaway with room to move and think. The home housed myself and my five siblings comfortablyâŠvery homey with loads of charm and character. I hope this property is available every time I plan to visit the Ararat area!
We really enjoyed our stay at Dan River house. It was myself, husband and 85 year old mother. We enjoyed having our coffee in the morning on front porch listening to river. And in the evening watching the turkeys and at night the lighting bugs havenât seen them in a long time. Thanks again Estelle for letting us stay.
This house was perfect for 4 couples. It was so peaceful and quiet. You could hear Dan River when sitting on the porch. We were close enough to everything. They had games and things for children as well. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Thanks for sharing your house with us.
Had a wonderful stay with family..its one of the best kid friendly house we have ever stayed.. very organized house with all the basic amenities needed.. looking forward to stay here again..
Enjoyed our stay, smell of sulfur in the water, however bottled water was furnished for drinking and tooth washing. Mattresses could be improved. Relaxing beautiful home in perfect location. We would stay again.
This is the perfect vacation experience for me and my entire family, we enjoyed the comfort and tranquility of the Dan River Home and had a wonderful time and perfect photo opps for all.
Very private area and the closeness of the river was really nice. We enjoyed the houseâŠvery roomy and even though it was an older house it has been updated very nicely.
We love to host family events as well as gatherings with friends. We also enjoy all the local festivals and drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Playing - tubing - fishing - wading in Dan River makes great family memories.
This property can accomodate a large family at a very reasonable price while providing an ample variety of activities both on the property and nearby towns. We are about an hour's drive from Winston-Salem NC, with Hanes Mall, Reynolda House, Kaledium Museum, Old Salem, Bethabara. Several State Parks: Pilot Mtn., and Hanging Rock NC and Fairy Stone Park in VA.
This home is very secluded, yet less than half a mile from a well traveled secondary road. Just 15 miles NE of Mount Airy, NC (Mayberry), with it's festivals, great restaurants and shopping. Drive about 7 miles up to the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway for magnificent views at the many overlooks. Just 3 miles to the Claudville entrance to Primland Resort with fine dining and world class golf course.
