If you're looking to relax and unwind, take in the beauty of the mountains and nature, soak in a hot tub under the stars or just relax around a peacful water fountain then paradise retreat is for you. We took advantage of everything Stefi offered.it is only a 15 min drive to Mayberry and Mt. Airy for shopping and dining. The gym was great i used the massage chair and sauna so relaxing. There was every piece of workout equipment you could think of also a tanning bed. The house is cozy with space for all even kids. If you have pets they will love the very large yard. Host was great and easy to work with. The pool was closed for season but we did use Zip line. House well stocked with everything you need robes cookware flatwear. The one thing i loved and most people wouldnt notice right away is the white noise machine. Helps to relax. We will be returning in the spring or early summer to unwind at the paradise retreat. Thank you for a great retreat Stefi. ##### Ken D. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer D.

Literally no one around for at least 1-2 acres. You would have to stay in a big resort WITHOUT any privacy to get the same access to pool, hot tub, complete gym with sauna & tanning bed. I was going to sleep in the massage chair until I discovered the adjustable king bed with head & foot massage options!! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again for our getaway. ##### Robert H.

We made sure to bring our own play pen and crib because we don’t expect places to be equipped for babies. The master bedroom had a very comfortable bed and was equipped with comfortable sheets and many blankets if you need them. The shower had great pressure and got really hot which I really appreciated. The house is stocked with everything you could ever want and more, including gym, sauna, hot tub, great yard. We enjoyed bringing our baby around the yard to show him different plants and the unique decor items. We all enjoyed sitting on the porch for meals. 15 minutes to pilot mountain and 38 minutes to hanging rock. This was a great place for our needs. ##### Jesse L.

Very clean and nicely decorated. Host was easy to get in contact with for any questions. This is out in the country so you will have to deal with an occasional frog and lots of bees. But that is life outdoors. There is a honey bee farmer near by and I don't think he waters his bees. Thankfully there were docile so I never got stung. Just a little annoying to have them around you while your swimming. I enjoyed the hot tub most of all, nice relaxing spot at the end of the day. My husband loved the exercise room and all the equipment that is there. ##### Misty S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorri C. Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our stay here was amazing! The description of the property does not give it justice. The house reminds me of a country cottage. The rooms are all good sizes, workout room is amazing, the main shower is a dream with the multiple jets and temperature setting, and if you like to cook this is the place for you with the duel ovens and every appliance you can think of! If you enjoy nature this is defiantly for you!! The landscaping should be in Better Homes and Gardens! There are groves of banana trees, fig trees, kiwi trees, various species of pine trees, rose bushes everywhere you look, and a variety of gorgeous flowers, just to name a few. The property has water fountains and a lovely pond with a waterfall and benches. There are swings of various types located all over the property.There are two nature trails through the woods that open to a field of yellow flowers and butterflies. There is just way to much to list. The pool is huge with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Other people mentioned bees in their reviews. There are no longer bees near the pool. Apparently they belonged to a neighbor which has been taken are of. The hot tub is huge and sets under a wooden privacy canopy and chairs to lounge in when you exit the hot tub. There is an infrared grill and a fire pit. Tables, chairs, and swings are strategically placed all over the property. The host is simply a doll. She made sure that we had everything we needed!!!!

Cuts out the hustle and bussel. Would definitely love to rent again in the summer time so we could use the pool. Only recommendations would be better hand rails going from office door to the hot tub. ##### Amber S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Armando F.

I stayed here for five days while recovering from nose surgery, and it was the perfect place to relax. The home was spotless and full of thoughtful touches — the pool, hot tub, adjustable bed, and massage chair made a big difference in my comfort. Great value, quiet, and very relaxing. Stefi is a fabulous hostess as well, she’s very attentive and quick to respond. Highly recommend! ##### Emma V. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yates A.

Stefi was great; she showed me around and explained how everything worked upon arrival. We had a great time hosting a party for my sister until the storm came thru around 5:15 and we lost power. We contacted the power company and they said it would be hours before the power was back on so we left due to it being so hot. We went home and returned the next day to clean up and get our belongings. We all enjoyed the pool and all the other outdoor activities. If you are a nature lover, then you will love this place. House was clean. The exercise room was a big hit for everyone. ##### Darlene W.
