We loved the river behind the home, its one of the prettiest rivers and so much fun to play in and climb on the big rocks. The grandchildren loved the upstairs playroom and the outside playground with climbing wall, slide & swings!!! The adults loved the large rooms & indoor and outdoor games. It was so well located to walking trails, parks and downtown. This place was amazing. The owner is immediate with communications .

Mayberry Days

First time staying at Riverside Memories and it was fabulous. I would highly recommend staying here, you're away tucked back off the road so no noise whatsoever. Very peaceful, beautiful view over the river below, while it did have a pool, because of some rain showers, and the water was a little cool, we did not use it but it's very nice with plenty of seating around the pool for games and a family gathering for sure. Beata is one of the best to work with, very accommodating, caring and available by text or phone if needed. Highly recommend staying here especially if you have a large family, you can even use the small cottage right beside the house.

Excellent vacation home!

We stayed here with our extended family for a week and had a fantastic time. We had a number of kids under age 10 with us and found the house and the pool well equipped for their imaginations. The weather was super hot that week, but with the trees and the water... we felt like we'd found an oasis. Very close to all things Andy Griffith and Mayberry as well as Pilot Mountain.

Family vacation

Our family loved the beautiful home on the river. It was the perfect size for our family of 10. The children loved the pool and all the games. It was a very relaxing week and we were very impressed with how clean and how nice the house was. We enjoyed visiting Mt Airy as our children love the Andy Griffith show.

A great family vacation!

Our family of 11 (from toddlers to grandparents) had an awesome stay! The house was super clean, cozy, and really well stocked. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing, and the kids were obsessed with the loft full of books and toys. They also had a blast in the basement playing all the games! We packed in a lot of fun during our trip — hiking to waterfalls, exploring Pilot Mountain, visiting Divine Llama Vineyards (llamas + wine = win), and enjoying all the Mayberry charm in Mount Airy. There was something for everyone, and it was so nice to come “home” each day to such a comfortable place. Definitely a great spot for a multi-generational family getaway.

We had a great time with our friends and teenage kids this past weekend. The house has so much to offer from location, river view to a great stocked kitchen. We had lots of room for us and our furry friends. House was clean and the property manager was helpful and available. Will surely be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our family gathering at Riverside memories!

Wonderful and comfortable facilities and activities for everyone. Fishing, swimming, indoor and outdoor games, books, and much more. Enough beds and baths to accommodate everyone. Kitchen is very well appointed and equipped. Great grill for outdoor cooking. Close to Mount Airy and excellent hiking on Mount Pilot.

Perfect family getaway place

We stayed here for 6 nights and absolutely loved it. The yard is amazing! It’s tucked away in the back of neighborhood on 3 acres and the front yard up on the hill is giant and the backyard going down to the river is perfect! The house is gorgeous and stocked with everything you need. Contact with the owner/property manager was excellent. If you’re looking for a great house with an excellent view without the crazy WNC hills this is the place for you!

Our every need was already here

Clean, well stocked property! Wish we had a longer stay to enjoy all the amenities. Stocked kitchen made it easy to cook (two sinks). Our group enjoyed the hot tub, the river view, gathering in the great room at night. Not enough time to use the fire pit, unfortunately. Pantry with spices etc was handy for our cooking needs and enjoyed our meals at the beautiful dining table. Nicely decorated, showers great, slept well. Thank you, would love to come back when the pool is open!

Welcome to Mayberry

We were looking for a relaxing country 4th of July and Mt. Airy didn’t disappoint with the parade and fireworks. This house was amazing with the in ground pool and the creek. It has EVERYTHING you need! The only issue I found with the house is the guest bathroom is a little small. They have a charcoal grill which is plus or negative depending on if you like using charcoal or not.

Perfect

We met with husbands cousin, now in 70’s these men hadn’t seen each other in 35 years, I met his wife and grown daughter and we chatted like old friends. It was wonderful. The solitude of the home was perfect. We did get to sit outside some. We will remember this place for summer trips, a pool and hot tub, on a creek, it was just lovely. The kitchen has every gadget and nice appliances that made cooking a delight. We all enjoyed every moment.

What an awesome property

The cabin is just gorgeous, with a great game room in the basement we enjoyed. The location along the river is fantastic. We enjoyed some fishing (note, they stock trout starting about 1/2 mile down river, so for better luck travel down stream. The rail trail is about 600 yards down river, and was recently extended. I'm an avid biker, so that was an unexpected bonus. Just walk down the right of way behind the property along the stream, very cool, no getting into the car. The disc golf course on the property was a lot of fun, I thought they meant it was at a nearby park, but no it's right on the property. Unfortunately we were there when the pool was closed, but it looks amazing. I think I could probably say this was the coolest VRBO we've ever stayed in, Kudos to the owners.

A wonderful home! We'd totally stay here again!

We had a group of 11 stay at this home for a Mother's Day / Birthday weekend! Everyone loved this home! It had so many surprises wrt amenities and supplies! We had everything we needed to enjoy a long weekend in Mt Airy. The home was so inviting and cozy we opted not to go out Saturday evening (after a couple's wine tasting). Instead we all put our swimsuits on and enjoyed the pool and hot tub, ordered pizza and in the later evening we started a fire down by the river, made s'mores and just had fun, quality time with friends and family. We even managed to play a little disc golf on the private disc golf course on the property. We enjoyed visiting 2 local wineries: Shelton Vineyard (30 min drive) and JoLo Winery (20 mins drive). Highly recommend the Grand Tasting tour at Shelton Vineyard! And The End Post restaurant at JoLo has amazing outdoor views to enjoy when the weather is nice! And the wine and food were delicious too! All of the families said they would definitely stay at this home again should we ever come back to Mt. Airy! The host, Beata, was super accommodating and easy to get in touch with! This is definitely a home we will 'save' and stay again if the occasion presents itself for another Mt Airy visit!

Amazing Property

Riverside Memories was the perfect spot for our family get together. From the beautiful views of the Ararat River to the the amenities inside, it was a perfect rental for spending some quality family time. Family members from several different states were able to enjoy very comfortable accomodations and lots of activities. We played disk golf (7 basket course), hatchet throwing, corn hole, scrabble, as well as Texas Hold'em, and enjoyed the hot tub. Everything was a pleasant surprise, but the highlight was the arcade machine in the game room. Lots of tournaments were played in that room. The house also has easy access for those family members who have mobility issues. Numerous balconies and outdoor spaces allow for privacy if folks need a few minutes away from family. The separate cottage was a treat as one couple had their own private space. We also appreciated that It is very well stocked even including spices for cooking. We were able to have family dinners at the house most nights. Also we have rented many properties that are pet friendly, but Riverside Memories is the most pet-friendly we have found. It was special for our fur babies. We had two Shih Tzus who loved their morning walks there. Because we grew up in the area, we weren't interested in the "Mayberry" Mt. Airy experience, but all of that fun is a very short drive. We had a wonderful time and will rent this property again. The owners have anticipated every need in this property.

Great family stay, plenty to do, and so much more.

We had 14 stay here for a week and had plenty of room. We had adults, teen, younger kids, and 2 small dogs, all had a great time. There was plenty to do without even leaving the property. We cooked all but 1 night (visiting a local restaurant 13 Bones which was great and decently priced), and the kitchen had everything we needed with appliances, pots, pans, etc and the gas stove was great. The dinning room table is beautiful, and was great to be able to all sit together for each meal, but also to sit and play cards, etc. With the "pay it forward" kitchen of spices, refrigerator, and pantry we had lots of items that we otherwise would have had to buy. We did make a visit to a nearby Sam's in Winston-Salem and then had everything we needed. The home had plenty of towels and having 2 washers and dryers was nice too. The guest house was nice with a 1.5 year old to have a separate place to nap and go to sleep at night. The kids loved the pool, even though it was a little chilly (which is clearly stated that it's not heated). The hot tub was very nice and in great shape. Plenty of places to sit and read. The firepit by the river was nice and we made s'mores one night. The path to the lower part by the river could be a little slick after a rain, and is a little coming back up. We played the disc golf course multiple times while there, and was nice for experiencd players and beginners too. The owner was also great and very responsive, to any questions or concerns we had.

The Perfect Home!!!

From the moment we arrived and drove down the long driveway I knew we were going to have a great time. We just did not know how amazing this home would turn out to be for our family. I rented the home to spend time with the kids for Fathers Day Weekend and I cannot say enough about how great this home was for me and my family. Also it was our first visit to Mount Airy and the area is just wonderful. Let me begin by saying the home has absolutely everything you will need to enjoy your vacation. I felt like we never left our home. We cooked multiple meals and had every possible utensil, pan, or whatever available to us. I have rented multiple VRBO properties but the attention to the little details were apparent upon arrival. The home is located on a river and the kids loved fishing the river. I personally loved hiking up or down river as it was just so beautiful. Then later in the middle of the day we had this wonderful pool to enjoy. I loved cooking on the grill and watching everyone have the best of times!! The home even has its own frisbee golf course, a Vintage arcade system, and fuss-ball. Just too much fun. It was the perfect combination of outdoor activities and a ton to do inside in case you have a rainy day. I always like throwing a few extra town details. This was my first Mount Airy visit so I found these places to be cool. Hillbilly ice cream a must. Uncorked was cool wine bar and 13 bones was great!! You will not be disappointed!!!!

Perfect place for a large family

Can't say enough about this property. We have big and small kids, as well as us grandparents/parents and it was perfect for everyone. Close enough to town for convenience (highly recommend the Lowes about 5 minutes away) but far enough away to be peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck, the kids loved the play area and the river!! Can't wait to book this again in the summer to enjoy the river more and the pool. Love the attention to detail here. If you want a great "home base" for your mountain vacation, this is it!! Plenty of space to relax after a day of exploring.

Highly recommend Riverside Memories!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful property this past week! Our dispersed family happily reunited at Riverside Memories this summer as a somewhat middle ground for traveling . All the amenities made for a great week despite a fair amount of rain. Any inconveniences we experienced-which were minimal - were addressed quickly and resolved beyond what we expected or have encountered in other rentals. Each couple (4 of them) commented on how well they slept and enjoyed the rain shower heads after a full day of enjoying all the readily available entertainment on property! This house has it all - seating for a large family - both dining and lounging, indoor and outdoor activities, well equipped kitchens, comfort and style. We would both rent from North Carolina Escapes and recommend them to others in the future! Great Job!

About the host

Hosted by Beata Lorinc

Host profile image
My family and I started hosting guests in 2016 on Topsail Island. We enjoyed sharing our love of travel and creating family and friend memories we continued to add to our NCEscapes family.

Riverside Memories is a combination of my husband's love of log cabins and the mountains/ forested areas with my love of water both with the river and the inground pool overlooking the river.

Why they chose this property

We love how private and secluded the property feels on almost 3 acres yet it is only 2.5 miles to all the shops, restaurants and experiences downtown Mt Airy offers. Truly the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

Escape into nature, yet have gig internet available in the home and get to a coffee shop, restaurant or museum in 5 minutes.

English, Polish

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
