Peruse the shop for wool or comfortable clothing made from alpaca fleece and talk with the friendly owners to learn more.
Great cabin and well equipped. Vies from the cabin are amazing. Exactly what we needed for relaxing after the holidays. Only issue was with the internet. Just gave us the ability to text message. No cell service which was fine as the house had a phone in case of an emergency. We had to go out and buy DVDs because there wasn’t enough internet for the television. I was ok with it, but don’t plan on working from this cabin. It a beautiful place to go to unplug.
The property was clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to enjoy a quiet retreat. The neighborhood was quiet to allow mountain walks with beautiful views. Would love to return.

Couldn’t ask for a more amazing place. The virw is spectacular and worth the trip. Check with Mandy about the roads due to Hurricane Helene, but no problem there. Just couldn’t travel west on the Blue Ridge. Feel so bad for those affected by the storm. We do hope to return again.

My two sisters and I stayed for a long weekend and it was awesome! The views were breathtaking. Convenient to Mabry Mill, activities regarding Andy Griffith and his show, the Andy Griffith museum, and lunch at Barney's cafe (check out the map with push pins showing where visitors have been from).
The house was awesome! The bed headboards were actually wooden doors. Enough space to be close and separate at the same time. The host and the owner were great. Very welcoming.
Great place to get away!!!

We loved our stay in the cabin. It was cozy, comfortable and the view was amazing. We watched many deer every day and even saw two black bear over the deck one evening! The hummingbirds and local birds were abundant. The Reflections neighborhood is so beautiful and we went for quiet walks daily. The location is ideal. Near Mount Airy, NC. We also visited the Blue Ridge music heritage museum which was nearby and there was live music daily and wonderful hikes. Nearby Pilot mountain hike was also incredible. The cabin was the perfect location to do these tasks. As many other reviews point out the WIFI is almost non existent and it is even difficult to send and receive text Messages. You absolutely cannot work from this cabin. Not a deal breaker for us but something you need to consider. Bring paper books and DVDs. The cabin only has seating for 5 in the living room so we had to use one of the camp chairs that were in the closet to seat our 6th person but it was fine for us. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much!
