We had a great stay, very relaxing. Ken & Christine were very nice! We did around 3.5 miles of hiking on their property. So makes more trails to explore! Could ride the trails with your MTB also! Only suggestion is maybe a queen side mattress. Besides that we really enjoyed the property, thank you!
My boyfriend and I had to cancel a vacation earlier this year due to a pet emergency and booked this as a last minute makeup vacation. The location is perfectly situated between pilot mountain and Winston Salem, so we got a good mix of outdoor adventure and city exploring. The cabin and grounds themselves were also GORGEOUS! We loved watching sunrise from the patio with some cocoa and had a picnic down by the river walking distance from the house. Cannot recommend enough and we will definitely be back!
We had a lovely stay. It's quiet and well kept! We loved being able to throw open the glass garage doors and have a glamping experience. The surroundings are beautiful and the drive time to Pilot Mountain is under 30 minutes. We love all the hiking paths on the property and the hosts are amazing with communication and have a lot of knowledge about the surrounding areas. We WILL be back! Thanks for a lovely stay.
We were looking for someplace that had beautiful scenery, hiking, and peacefulness. Boy did we find it! We loved every minute of our time here. The views and deck were priceless. We can hardly wait for fall to come so we can roll up the wall and enjoy my idea of glamping! lol. Thanks so much for having us. The communication was perfect. We loved the quiet and the hiking by the river. Access to wineries and more hiking was within 24 minutes. If you're looking to disconnect and unwind, this is the place!
The view was absolutely lovely and we spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying that. Unfortunately the place was not as clean as we hoped. There were cobwebs and dust webs everywhere, someone elseâs hair in the shower drain, mold in the shower and a ring at the water line in the toilet. This feels very much like the ownerâs office space with a bed and kitchenette in it and not like a getaway.
It was so beautiful and breathtaking! It was like you were sleeping in the trees with the breeze blowing on you with the glass-doors openâŠand an amazing view of the river. There are so many wineryâs close by and hiking trailsâŠand it is one of the best most relaxing peaceful weekends away. The hostess is sweet and so kind! We definitely want to go back!
We had a very nice stay in this artist studio. Awesome views of the river! And you can see Pilot Mountain from the side windows. We enjoyed relaxing out on the deck and even opening the glass garage door 'wall' on the one warm and dry afternoon of our stay. We also enjoyed exploring the trails that wind through the extensive wooded area of the property and along the Yadkin River.
Our hostess, Christine, was very helpful, and quick to respond to any questions or needs.
Keep in mind that you do not have full kitchen facilities. There is a small refrigerator, a hot plate, a microwave, and a small coffeemaker. This was enough for us to keep our brewskis cold and to scramble some eggs (fresh! from the chickens on the property).
My impression of the âRiver Nestâ was spectacular and eclectic .The view over looking the Yadkin River was a dream and in the distance the view of Mt Pilot was just as nice. The location was perfect for multiple Wineries and quick drive to Mt Airy. The home was perfect for a small family or a couples getaway. The host were gracious and welcoming and let us get as many eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast . Plenty to do there from hiking on several trails to fishing and boating on the property. The stay was awesome and enjoyed every bit of it from sleeping under the stars and waking up to the morning sun rise ,views are awesome. We came as strangers and left as friends. We will be back!
