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 :)

Quiet and peaceful

We had a lovely time at Dan River! It’s an older home, but very clean and comfortable. It has all the amenities we needed to cook a nice dinner and sit under the stars by the fire pit! Estelle was wonderful to get back with me on any questions I had. It was only about 15 miles to Mt. Airy to tons of restaurants, and the drive was beautiful! If you are looking for a comfortable, country setting you can’t go wrong with Dan River!

Clean and well supplied

Our family enjoyed our time at the Dan River House. Our grandchildren had a wonderful time with all the toys and a great time playing in the yard and on the river. Our only complaint might would be the large noisy air conditioner in the upstairs bedrooms. They kept the rooms cool but they were loud. Good check in and all items we needed in the kitchen.

If you're looking to get away and relax, this is the place. We had a wonderful time watching the wildlife and catching fish in the river. Estelle was very good at communicating with us. We'll definitely be back again!
