Mel’s Country Cottage
Private detached effeciency apartment in a country setting near WinstonSalem. Pets welcome. Local restaurant & convenient store 1 min. away. Close to many tourist destinations- Hanging Rock, Winston Salem, Pilot Mt. Belews Creek power station. This is a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Our place has of the feel of "getting away", but being in close proximity to town/city life. We are located on Town Fork Creek and it is a beautiful place to just hang out & get your feet wet, or nature watch. Queen bed, kitchenette with sink and essentials, sofa, smart TV, full bath, covered porch. Relax by the creek or enjoy nature walks. Watch the occasional deer & other wildlife. Use the grill or fire pit at your leisure.

Down Home Country Living
We loved our stay at Mel’s Country Place. The pictures don’t do it justice. But how do you capture on film the experience of country life? Imagine the front porch swing, chickens in the pen, goats playing, huge gentle farm dogs coming to say hello, a country road walk to the babbling creek, hosts checking to make sure you’re comfortable, fresh eggs as a gift, and cozy well decorated accommodations for two. Wonderful experience! Wish we could have stayed longer!

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.
