A Suite with a View and Wine

A Suite with a View sits high on an almost 70-acre property. A gorgeous view of Skull Camp Mountain, Paradise Mountain, Raven's Knob Mountain, and the distant Blue Ridge Mountain range. Enjoy beautiful sunsets each night. Our suite has its own private entrance, complete with a large, luxurious spa-like bathroom including a 2-person soaking tub & open waterfall shower. Perfect spot to start your wine-tasting weekend!

The living space includes one large & plush sofa that opens into a full bed. We have also just added a queen Murphy Bed that pulls out from the wall. We have included soft & cozy mattress toppers & bedding to make your nights super comfortable. You will also find a small refrigerator + microwave combo along with everything you need to make coffee each morning. Please note, the suite is like a hotel room, there is no stovetop or oven. Cooking a full meal will be difficult. However, we do have wonderful take-out options available from Mayberry Takeout (www.mayberrytakeout.com).

While you will have all the privacy you need, the space is located near our new (2020) wine-tasting room (Serre Vineyards). You will have your own separate & private entrance away from the public. If you enjoy wine, the Tasting Room is open Saturdays 12-6p and Sunday 12-5p.

You have private access to your suite and have access to the entire suite.
You must be able to climb a flight of stairs to get into the suite.

I am based in Charlotte, NC; however, can always be reached. The suite is fairly self-sufficient; however, in case of emergency, I will provide information for local help.

Enjoy our local farming and winery community. A drive through Mt. Airy is just what you need to relax and get away from it all. We love driving through the rolling hills, waving at the cows and horses. A trip to downtown Mt. Airy or Elkin is a must. Both are wonderful little towns with delicious restaurants and a few bars. There are several wineries within 20-30 minutes as well. Serre Vineyards (your host & onsite), Round Peak, Shelton, Old North State (more of a restaurant downtown Mt. Airy), Jolo, and Jones von Drehle are all excellent!

You will need a car to get around.

We do exterminate, but we are in the middle of the county, so there may be a bug or two that sneaks into the suite.

Please note: You will need to be able to climb a flight of stairs to get into the suite.

Along with your suite, we have another cottage at the bottom of the property. We also participate in a program called Harvest Hosts - which is a hosting service for RVs. We occasionally have some Harvest Host guests. You may meet them in the parking lot or front lawn. We are on 70 acres, but occasionally you may run into another party.

A SUITE WITH A VIEW - INFO

While we hate the word “rules”, we do ask that you adhere to some to make your stay here pleasant for you (and for us!) as well as our neighbors. This is our personal vacation cottage and home away from home. We know you will treat it with care and courtesy. We have stayed at many Airbnbs/VRBOs ourselves over the years and we love what this community has become. We love hosting and hope you have an incredible time in Mt. Airy! If there is anything we can do to improve or make your stay more pleasant, please do not hesitate to let us know!

WATER:
Our water is delicious and safe to enjoy, but it is on a well and septic system. Please place as little as possible paper waste in the toilet. Please place feminine products in the wastebasket. Thanks!

PROPERTY USE:
Although our suite is situated on 70 acres, and it may seem a great place to hunt, gun use (whether for target, hunting or other purposes) is strictly forbidden. You will be asked to leave immediately if guns are heard or hunting of any type is observed. We have very aware neighbors! That said, do not be concerned if you hear gunshots. Our neighbor across the river likes to engage in target practice sometimes.

TRAILS:
There are many old trails and hunting blinds on the property. Use caution around the blinds as most are very old and not used anymore. There are trails that stem off the old horse barn, down by the river and off the main driveway on your way in. When coming down the driveway from the main road, those trails would be on your right. The driveway is our property line until you get to the green gate and then it widens. Please find a basic map included in the welcome notebook.

OCCUPANCY:
We understand that for a whole variety of reasons, you may want additional guests to stay in the place. In the event that you want additional guests to stay, please contact us to let us know. We’re reasonable folk and will accommodate wherever possible. Please keep in mind the suite is best suited for one to two guests at a time.

PARTY / NOISE: If you’re coming to Mt. Airy to party, you’ve picked a great city to do so. Unfortunately, just not at our place. Sure, we want you to have a great time and enjoy the property and have some fun, but nothing too crazy please! Though we’re sure it won’t come to it, serious complaints of unruly behavior will unfortunately result in you being asked to leave. Not good for you. Not good for us.

CHECK IN / CHECK OUT: Check-in is at 4pm, and check-out is by 11am.

DAMAGE: We understand that accidents and spills happen. But we do ask that you please let us know when they do. Chances are we can fix them or help you troubleshoot as a means of better chances of having your full security deposit returned too.

SMOKING: We have a strict no smoking policy inside the building (although you are welcome to smoke either out front or back) – please utilize the 2 black commercial ashtray stations located on either corner of the barn.

AC / HEATING: The suite uses a mini split HVAC system. There are two registers, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. Both systems must be on Heat (sun icon) or Cool (snowflake) icon. If they are on different icons, the system will not run.

NOISE: To be considerate to our neighbors, we kindly ask to keep things on the quieter-side after 11pm. We live in a remote area; however, noise does travel through the valley. We just like to be considerate to our neighbors.

SECURITY: Our neighborhood is very safe. We do not have a security system in the suite, but we do employ one in other parts of the building. You do not need to arm or un-arm anything.

OUTDOOR SEATING:
There are Adirondack chairs facing the view and several tables and chairs available for your use.
