#### Great stay by the river

Our stay at River Retreat was incredible. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and recently remodeled and just so nice. The wonderful views of the river and property were enjoyed by everyone. The hot tub on the deck was perfect for relaxing. It feels very remote, yet is just a few minutes from Mount Airy main street for shopping and restaurants. Perfect place to stay and certainly will be back!
