Great location

The condo served us well as we were in the area for a family reunion. While the property did not feel the cleanest, it was comfortable and I feel that part of it was the age of the property. It needs a few updates but was well stocked for what we needed. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Cozy and beautiful!

This was like a home away from home. The property was just as advertised, cozy and well equipped. It was my first time booking a vrbo and the owner went above and beyond to ensure we found the location and had everything we needed. Great stay!

Cozy, clean and quiet.... perfect!!

Perfect location for hiking, taking winery tours and tastings and waking thru the quaint towns along the way. The condo was clean and very comfy! Great way to end the day, enjoying a glass of wine on the balcony and taking in the scenery. Would definitely stay there again!!!

Cozy retreat

We had a great stay, but first let me tell you what this place isn't. It isn't a fancy chalet. It isn't pristine and perfect. it isn't new and fresh. So if those things are important to you. Now, let me tell you what it is. It is well designed with two bedrooms that each have a king bed and a bathroom. It is a small, cozy and comfortable place to stay at a great price. It is a place that has increible views with a full wall of windows. My wife and I stayed with another couple for a trip to visit "Mayberry" in Mt. Airy. This place gave us a great place to enjoy a mountain setting off the Blue Ridge Parkway that was less than 30 minutes away. As long as you don't show up with expectations of a pristine and updated chalet, you'll enjoy the place as much as we did, which was we enjoyed our stay a lot.

Premier views of the Piedmont/Pilot

The accommodations were clean and comfortable. While we have been seeking properties in this area off/on for a decade, our stay here really opened our eyes to the Hideaway Lifestyle. Everything we needed to sustain outdoors adventures or to just ‘hole up’ during inclimate weather. Our return is inevitable.

Amazing View

Stayed one night while traveling on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Precise directions just off the parkway. Quaint and cozy. The view off the back deck was AMAZING! Saw a beautiful sunset and sunrise. Crabapple tree just off the deck full of birds, humming birds played all evening and morning. Would definitely stay again!

peaceful mountain getaway

What a wonderful place to escape to. The view from the deck was enough to sell me, but everything else about the condo adds to the charm and the enjoyment of getting away from the city. Comfortable beds, great video, music and book library, well appointed kitchen for those who enjoy cooking and don't want to have to bring a kitchen with you. It was a relaxing, enjoyable weekend for the sisters and I thank Ben for offering this place. Can't wait to get back there - and the resident kitty might be there to welcome you!

Comfortable condo with a spectacular view!

We liked the comfortable beds and the well-stocked kitchen and LOVED the balcony! However, the smell of cigarette smoke in the living area and especially in the bedroom closest to the side door created problems for us. The sweet smell of the Glade plug-in made the smell even worse. There were also lots of spiders in the "smoky" bedroom. We did appreciate the tips regarding hiking trails and places to eat. We found a beautiful trail at mile marker 169 and even spotted a black bear. We also enjoyed breakfast at Mabrey Mill.

Amazing condo!

My husband and I recently stayed at this condo for 4 nights. I cannot say enough positive things about the lodging, as well as the communication with Ben, the property owner. He sent very detailed driving instructions and we didn't have any trouble finding the location. The view is even more amazing than the pictures. The location literally just off the parkway is very convenient for exploring the stops both north and south. It was very quiet and relaxing the entire time; not sure why some of the other reviewers commented about the neighbor who lives above. We heard footsteps a few times, but it was not disturbing to us. I also want to mention the owners' attention to the "little things" that made a big impression on me--thick, soft towels, soft, plush throws, and quality tissue paper. We have stayed in several VRBO locations and usually get the thin, inexpensive towels and tissue. We will definitely stay here again if we return to this area and will recommend to family and friends, Thanks, Ben, for sharing your comfortable condo with us!

Beautiful setting, comfortable.

The area is so beautiful and serene. We loved sitting on the balcony and listening to and watching the birds. The instructions for opening the door came in handy when it was a little stubborn one time. The air freshener was very overpowering for us, we finally found the source and unplugged it from the outlet. The kitchen is nice and well appointed, couches have seen better days, not super comfortable for us. I read other reviews about loud upstairs neighbors but didn't think it would be a problem, I have kids and they are loud... I didn't expect them to be making a raucous at 3 am. It sounded like they were rearranging the furniture up there! I know that is out of the owner's control. But if you (or your spouse) are a light sleeper (we had a fan on and it was still loud enough to wake my husband) this might not be the right fit for you.

A wonderful place

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was clean, comfortable, and had a great view. The beds were good, far better than most hotel beds, but they were hard, which some people might not like. The kitchen was good, I could have cooked there easily had I wanted to, but we weren't in the room long enough to bother with anything but morning coffee, which was provided. A few tea bags would have been nice, there was one bag, so no variety. Plenty of nice clean fluffy towels. Comfortable furniture. I was a little uncomfortable with the idea that there was someone else's food in the refrigerator and freezer. There was a freezer burnt pound of hamburger meat and some sausages in the freezer that I think should have been thrown out. There were a bunch of condiments left over, and I have no idea how I feel about that, on one hand it's really convenient, on the other hand, how long have they been there and who's done what with them? But hey, that's really the only negative, and that's pretty easy to just ignore! We could hear the upstairs neighbors, but it wasn't objectionable. One other comment. This wasn't a problem for us at all, but there are a number of wooden steps that lead down from the parking area to the front door. Certainly not handicapped accessible. So, just be aware if that's an issue for you. None of this is meant to be a negative, just things to know about. We'd love to stay there again next year.

Lovely condo and location

My husband and I stayed at the condo during Floydfest so we didn’t spend much time there. The location just off the parkway was ideal and a beautiful drive to and from the festival. The condo is very well stocked, comfortable and clean. It was quiet during our stay. Communication from the owner was prompt and detailed. I would definitely stay there again.

Weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything you needed and more. The owner made sure we had accurate details on how to get to the condo. He is super pleasant and responds quickly to any questions or concerns. There is a permanent resident that lives up stairs, we heard him from time to time but he was cool. He didn't bother us at all. His music was pretty chill too! The condo was warm, cozy and inviting. It felt like home away from home to me. I'd definitely stay there again!

Could have been cleaner. View was nice.

Need better bug company. Not a fan of all the spiders. Ants crawling on us and larva crawling across floor and falling out of ceiling onto us. Owner was very quick to respond. . Was nice to watch the birds at the feeder and the view was nice. Don’t like giving a crappy review, but I clean for a living with a realty company and the inspector would have called me back.

About the host

Host profile image
I live just outside Charlotte in Fort Mill SC but was born in Mount Airy, NC and grew up in Mount Airy and Hillsville, VA . My wife is from Asheville, NC. You can take the girl out of the mountains but you can't take mountain out of the girl. We purchased our little slice of Heaven and get up whenever we can to enjoy the cool mountain air and enjoy a stress free time away from life down below. We decided since we could not be there all the time it was to nice not to share. We rented through a rental company for several years but decided we could provide our guest a better experience with upgraded linens, a fully appointed kitchen and a more comfortable stay.

Why they chose this property

Feel right at home in this renovated cozy get away with full amenities and an amazing view overlooking the Piedmont of VA and NC

What makes this property unique

Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and furniture and an amazing view.
