Enjoyable week long stay from California to visit family in Mount Airy
This home was absolutely beautiful, quiet, very clean, and Regina always available and very helpful. The house had everything you would need. We absolutely loved staying here and would recommend to anyone visiting mount Airy to rent this gorgeous home.
Regina was fabulous to work with during the entire process. She makes sure your stay is a 5*. Thank you for a great time and the hospitality. ☺️
The craftsman house was decorated with many pieces of artwork and antiques. It was larger than we expected, with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen and bathrooms were nicely updated. We enjoyed walking to Main St. shops and restaurants. Also, took a drive to Pilot Mountain State Park which was lovely! The highlight was all the Andy Griffith memorabilia. Brought back so many wonderful childhood memories!
My husband and I visited Mt Airy to celebrate my hubbys birthday. Since he is a HUGE Andy Griffith fan we reserved a sqaud car tour from Wally’s garage ~ literally a 1 min walk away. We not only enjoyed all there was to learn and see about Andy Griffith and his “Mayberry” but we also truly enjoyed the beauty and charm of this adorable 1920’s bungalow. Everything was just as expected and the hosts were so very thoughtful and helpful! I highly recommend staying here if you’re in for a short or log stay. Be sure to take time to enjoy the front porch ~ listen to the birds and just be still. Blessings to our wonderful hosts! We will be back :)
Had a chance to get away for a couple of days and always wanted to visit Mt. Airy. The house is comfortable and you can see Wally’s filling station from the front porch. Sipping coffee on the front porch on a cool morning is the best part of the house and Regina is an awesome host. Hope to visit again one day.
This house is in a wonderful location, and Regina is a wonderful hostess. Everything that you could ask for was at the house and we could walk to all of the downtown attractions. My sister and I enjoyed relaxing and reading on the front porch. We will be back for another visit. Thank you for your hospitality!
My husband, myself, and five month old stayed a weekend at this house! The house is beautiful! Full of antique decor that has been meticulously staged! I loved the hosts hospitality and her quick responses if we were to have a question! The location is perfect - walking distance to Wally’s Service Station. My husband and I both agree that when we come back to Mt. Airy we would love to stay here again! 10/10
We highly recommend this lovely home for your visit to Mount Airy. It was beautifully decorated, spacious and the beds were so comfortable! The location was close to everthing. The owners were great...quick to respond and very helpful! Would definitely stay there again!!
Very clean and great location. A wonderful town to visit!
This home is so comfy, cozy, and clean! The home is close to the town of Mount Airy so you can come and go with ease. The front porch is so nice and relaxing. Regina goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your vacation. She is very easy to communicate with before and during your stay. Regina is also very knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions about activities we were interested in during our stay. Regina loves Mount Airy and she wants to make sure you love it also. We look forward to returning to Mount Airy soon!
This property was located almost in the heart of all of our activities, but far enough to relax and enjoy our down time. The owner could not have been more responsive to our needs and was attentive to every request we had. She even provided information on the local activities, so that we did not miss anything. The house was imaculate and we felt right at home from day one. By the end of the trip we did not want to leave. We will certainly be back and will only stay here.
This stunning historic home is a hidden gem in Mt Airy. The home is beautifully decorated, the kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with everything one might need, and the beds were like sleeping on fluffy clouds! We began each day with coffee on the lovely porch and ended the day there as well. We’ve stayed in many VRBOs in the area but the owner here was like a family friend. She answered every question immediately & offered suggestions for dining and grocery shopping. I guarantee that you won’t want to leave if you stay here!
My husband and I decided to visit Mayberry for our 45th anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Regina was not only the perfect host but made me feel like a friend with her suggestions and top notch communication. If we decide to return to Mt. Airy, this will be the first place we look! Thank you, Regina!
I took my husband to Mt Airy as a surprise trip over the 4th of July and we both absolutely loved Regina's home and her wonderful communication throughout our stay! We would definitely recommend this lovely house to anyone and we won't stay anywhere else when we return to visit MA ~ thank you Regina, for sharing your beautiful home with us :)
This house is beautiful! Love all the antiques and the front porch was a daily evening time to rewind. Regina was fantastic with communication and suggestions for us while we were there. The house is just down the street from all the shops/ restaurants and everything Andy Griffith. If we ever come back, this is definitely where we would want to stay!
I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in the area. It is very convenient to downtown Mt Airy. As a matter of fact my morning walk included a walk thru down town each day. If your looking for a house with some historical character, beautifully refinished and decorated. This is the place for you!
This was EXACTLY what we had imagined for our weekend getaway to visit the beloved town of Mayberry. We grew up watching Andy Griffith and the show brought us such comfort. We felt like we had gone back in time and were really there...our experience did not disappoint!!! We highly recommend this house and all that this sweet town has to offer.
Absolutely wonderful stay! Regina was an amazing host to work with and made everything so easy! The house is in the perfect location and the front porch is a dream! We can not wait to go back!
Myself, my husband and our best friends stayed for a weekend getaway. Regina was great with communication before and throughout our stay. The house was clean and filled with beautiful vintage items. Updated kitchen and bathrooms didn’t take away from the historical feel of the home. We were able to walk everywhere within the city of Mayberry. We were all surprised at how much there is to do and see in the area! Can’t wait to go back!
