About this property
Bledsoe’s River Inn. Cottage in the heart of wine country near Mtns. & Mayberry
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just 18 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy 24 acres of private property located on the Fisher River where you can enjoy all types of fishing, kayaking, hiking, and swimming! There is a Splash Pad and a pool located in the nearby town of Dobson approximately 5 miles away. A short drive will take you to many award winning wineries and to downtown Mt. Airy, also known as Mayberry. Also, a 30 minute drive will take you to Stone Mountain State Park or to the beautiful Pilot Mountain State Park for endless views and hiking. Welcome!!
The space
Cottage is decorated with period 1800-1850 antiques. The beds have been updated of course. So travel back in time and enjoy for a little while!
Relax on the back porch with a book, work on your laptop, or watch a movie on the second tv.
Sitting on the back patio you can view the cows grazing just past the barn and enjoy the fire pit just outside the back door. Beyond that is the river. Please note there are electric fences on the property and they do produce a mild shock. The gates are not electrified.
Guest access
Cottage is located approximately 250 yards from the river. We invite you to bring your all terrain vehicles, golf carts, or you are welcome to drive your vehicle or walk through the cow pasture (with the friendly cows and no bull) to the river.
Other things to note
The 5th bed is a 3/4 converted rope bed so it only sleeps one person comfortably. There are twin beds located in loft space.
Office space can be utilized on the enclosed back porch. There is a drop leaf table that can be pulled up for your convenience with a couple of different size chairs to choose.
We offer keyless entry. Please bring your own fishing gear. No pets please!

Why they chose this property
This house has definitely been a labor of love. This farm belonged to a lady by the name of Sadie Hutchens. We befriended Sadie when we moved close by and she chose us to carry on the legacy of her family (The Miller's) farm. This is the result of wanting to honor her wishes!!
What makes this property unique
We offer peace, relaxation and kayak adventures with easy access to and from river.
