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 :)
