Peacful

We very much enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for the dogs to stretch thier legs and play in the ponds and creek. The fenced porch for the dogs to dry off on was perfect. It was a short trip over to Mayo River State Park. It wasnt crowded and it was beautiful. We slept great, the cabin was warm, tv was easy to operate, and everything was well stocked. We needed a place to rest with our pups and this was probably our best VRBO find ever. We hope to come back soo. Thank you for having us!

Great little getaway!

Mel's Country Cottage was the perfect cozy place to stay. The property is BEAUTIFUL, and a walk down by the creek was a great way to stretch our legs after the drive down. (Honestly, we wish we had planned a little more time in our stay to simply enjoy some time down by the creek.) The cottage itself was the perfect size for 2 people. The bed was comfortable, the furnishings were cozy and top quality, and the phone pocket on the sheets was a pleasant surprise (blew my husband's mind). Location is convenient to Hanging Rock and Winston-Salem, and we even popped over to Greensboro to meet a friend for dinner, but that was a bit longer of a drive. Mel's Country Cottage is definitely one of the best places I've found on Vrbo.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Scott

Joe & Cindy Scott. We have 10 children & 31 grandchildren. We have retired after 45 years in the drywall business. We enjoy sitting on the porch, grandkids & watching our animals and the nature that surrounds us.
We aren’t totally as chilled as that sounds. We spend a lot of time keeping up our 12 acres. Occasionally we break away and travel. We enjoy canoeing & fishing. We have rented since 2019 & have enjoyed meeting the nicest people.

Why they chose this property

Germanton is very quiet and friendly with a lot of farmers and family in the area. Located near Winston Salem & Walnut Cove. Lots of hiking in the area with Hanging Rock just 20 minutes away. Wedding venues are close as well as Belews lake.

What makes this property unique

The outdoors make us unique with the chickens & goats. On our 12 acres there is a nice creek to explore and plenty of nature surrounding. A great place to bring your dog.
