Truly rural with peace and quiet. Birdsong from many species as we relaxed on front porch overlooking meadow and pond. Nice layout of rooms with comfortable seating and king bed. Kathy has gone above and beyond in answering providing information, first on our stay details and afterwards in answering questions on some decor my wife plans to copy! Convenient to Galax region which is full of nature and music opportunities so we will definitely stay here again should we get the opportunity.

The home was just the right size and very homey. It was convenient to get to shopping and going to the areas we wanted to check out, like Blue Ridge Parkway and the Skyline and also checked out the Apple House. Just some day trips. We also went to Mount Airy "Mayberry", which was fun.

The country setting was very enjoyable but yet still close to Galax and the Blue Ridge Music Center. Property was very clean and the owner thought of everything we needed. We will stay here again!
