About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Tranquil sounds of the Dan River heard from the front porch or by the firepit.

This 4 bedroom 2 bath remodeled home is surrounded by 25 acres of grass fields with 1,000 feet bordering the beautiful Dan River. Imagine splashing in the cool water. Go for a leisurely walk down the 3/4 mile - low traffic gravel lane. At night sit on the porch and listen to the tranquil sounds of the river, do a little stargazing or grill your favorite steak, sit around the firepit or picnic table. When you go inside you can relax by the electric fireplace with someone special. Read, watch Roku TV, play chess or checkers. There's plenty of space with 4 bedrooms, and a playroom with a futon that folds out to make a double bed. Two full bathrooms, one on the main level and one upstairs. Bring the family, play a yard game, shoot a few hoops or relax and enjoy the peace and quiet for your next vacation or just a few days to rest and recharge. You deserve a nice get-away. Book your stay today.

Great place to relax

My family and i took a break during a long trip to rest and rejuvenate at the Dan River House. Quiet and beautiful place. Mount Airy, NC, one of my favorite places, is a short drive away. Great place to unwind. The gas grill is a great place to grill up a nice sirf and turf dinner, or burgers and dogs.

Cozy & Secluded

The Dan River House is a great place to unwind and relax. It's so nice to just sit on the porch and listen to the river. Estelle is also the best host. She is easy to get in touch with and prompt in responding to any concerns you may have. My husband said we will definitely be back :)

Peaceful Retreat

It was really nice out there, secluded, but yet not to horrible from town.No real issues. Good value for the days I chosen. Way better than a hotel as you have more conveniences than a hotel. Going to try to go back in warmer weather, so I can enjoy the river a little more. I was really great.

Quiet and peaceful

We had a lovely time at Dan River! It’s an older home, but very clean and comfortable. It has all the amenities we needed to cook a nice dinner and sit under the stars by the fire pit! Estelle was wonderful to get back with me on any questions I had. It was only about 15 miles to Mt. Airy to tons of restaurants, and the drive was beautiful! If you are looking for a comfortable, country setting you can’t go wrong with Dan River!

Pristine Solitude

Location, location, location! So quiet and peaceful. We stayed during winter so even more peaceful. Did not catch and fish but were told they migrate in winter. That was evident as we are avid anglers. Mt. Airy has all services and supplies one might need plus plenty of places to eat and historical things to do. The cons: Well water with sulfur smell. That takes some getting used to. Bottled water is a must. kitchen was ill equipped for any foodies thinking of renting (bring your favorite frying pan), and there was a leak under the sink (we emptied the pan once during our 4 night stay). Finally, the beds are worn and mine even had either a fallen or a broken slat. The pros: We made the kitchen work with what we had. Also, the place is super cozy and the host very responsive. The place was spotless upon check-in. Overall a great stay and would definitely rent this place again. The highlight: On the first day pulling in, a golden eagle flew up off the Dan River near the bridge just before the home. Magnificent!
