Slow Down, Connect & Make Lasting Memories by the River

Slow Down, Connect & Make Lasting Memories by the River.

Designed with shared moments in mind, Riverside Memories offers a welcoming riverfront setting where families and friends can comfortably spend time together. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the home naturally supports multigenerational stays, two families traveling together, or close friends who appreciate both shared experiences and quiet moments of their own.

The main log cabin features warm, inviting living and dining areas that draw people together throughout the day—morning coffee around the table, afternoons playing games, and evenings spent talking by the fire. Bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to balance togetherness with personal space.

A separate guest cottage provides added flexibility, making it ideal for grandparents, another family unit, or couples who enjoy a little extra privacy while still being part of the group experience.

Inside the Home

The fully equipped kitchen anchors the main level and is designed for real use—meals cooked together, snacks between adventures, and long conversations around the handcrafted 8’ black walnut river table. Guests consistently comment on how well stocked and thoughtfully set up the home feels.

Indoor spaces include:

• Cozy living areas for gathering and relaxing
• A game room with classic arcade games, foosball, board games, and a Wii
• A lofted reading and play nook with books, toys, and comfortable seating
• Strong Wi-Fi and Smart TVs throughout for downtime or remote work

• A private on-property disc golf course

The Adventure Tower

The Adventure Tower is a one-of-a-kind, custom-built play space designed for both kids and adults to explore, move, and play together. With elevated decks, bridges, swings, slides, and open-air platforms, it encourages curiosity, laughter, and shared adventure—whether you’re racing across a bridge or relaxing on an upper deck with a drink in hand.

This isn’t a playground—it’s an interactive outdoor experience created for the young and young at heart, offering a rare chance to unplug, be present, and create shared moments that turn into lasting memories.

Designed for Real Stays

Every detail at Riverside Memories is meant to support meaningful time together—without over-stimulating or overwhelming. This is a home where days unfold naturally, conversations linger, and memories are made through shared moments rather than packed schedules.

Is This Home a Good Fit?

Riverside Memories is a wonderful fit for guests who enjoy slowing down, spending quality time together, and making the most of a thoughtfully curated riverfront setting. It’s especially well suited for families, multigenerational groups, and adult friends traveling together.

If your idea of a great stay includes relaxed days, meaningful moments, and coming together in a space designed for connection, you’ll feel right at home here.

This was my family’s 9th annual fall girls trip and this was by far one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. The house was very clean, well stocked, and organized. This host takes extra care to provide little touches to make the house very convenient and comfortable. My elderly grandmother could get around well and my mother who is in a wheelchair was also able to use everything with ease. The host is very responsive and easy to reach. It was very convenient to downtown and the store was only a few minutes away. It’s really hard to find a home that will comfortably fit a large crowd, but this house was it. I would absolutely recommend anyone stay here.

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 .

We had a wonderful week making Riverside memories with our two grown sons and their young families. The home is immaculate, beautifully, but comfortably furnished and so very well equipped. We were blessed with perfect weather so we could enjoy the lovely pool and the scenic river. We spent so much time outdoors that we didn’t have enough time to take advantage of everything provided on the inside. There is something for everyone. We all agreed it was our best vacation ever and want a do-over! Thank you Beata!

Great Family vacation

Found home just as advertised. A great quiet location. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Great location on the river where we enjoyed several camp fires. House has everything you need in the kitchen and plenty of spices. Only disappointment was the fishing, was hoping for some good trout fishing but none to to had. That is the way fishing goes!

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.

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.

Fantastic Family Getaway

We were very happy with the property and our 5-day stay in early March. The house is updated and beautifully decorated with great showers, plenty of beds and a very well stocked kitchen. The bedrooms comfortably housed our five kids, elementary through young adult. The Grandparents appreciated the detached cottage for their own space when they came to visit. It was a bit early for the pool but the kids loved being able to play on the large rocks in the river and discovered a box turtle (named him "Amazon). We enjoyed reading on the lounge chairs on the deck, cooked smores in the campfire ring at night and everyone enjoyed the outdoor and indoor games as well as the Ms. Pac-Man game and extensive Wii game collection. Beata communicated well and answered all of our questions. 5-Star host! We talked about how great this property would be for a family reunion and that we might like to return some day. Highly recommend!

Nice quiet relaxing vacation

The place is amazing. Our kids enjoyed the pool (although it's pretty cold and doesnt get sun by mid-September). The river out back was a big hit...my only suggestion would be it was hard for the kids to get down to the river....some stairs or at least a better, cleared pathway down the embankment to the water would have resolved that issue! Its pretty steep and covered in plants currently... House was spectacular, very clean, playroom was an amazing thing to have to keep our kids entertained without having to pack and bring a bunch of toys with us! Would definitely stay again, highly recommended this for a family vacation spot!
