Incredible hotel in downtown Mt Airy. Walking in from the parking lot, the front walk in smelled…read moreincredible. Not like a typical downtown on a Saturday night. We made this our overnight stop coming from OBX and heading back to Michigan. I am so glad we skipped the comfort inn for this luxurious upgrade that was nominal cost compared to the comfort and amenities. It's brand new! Insanely comfortable bed with extra large pillows, whisper quiet HVAC, beautiful facility and guest rooms. The lobby is a vibe. If I wasn't so tired, we hangout at the tap wall and play some chess in the lobby. Zane was very helpful to suggest a couple places for dinner that were in walking distance. This place is a gem of this neighborhood. We are just passing through but boy this is worth every penny.

This is a new Marriott Tribute series resort in the heart of Mayberry (Mount Airy) NC. It was an…read moreapparel factory many years ago that had sat dormant; however, it's been repurposed as part of the recent revitalization of the Main Street area. As of 8/2026, there are still more amenities to come, and I believe they will greatly add to the guest experience. Pros- The Balladeer's lobby interior is gorgeous! It is very unique, with a little shop, multiple sitting/lounging areas for an impromptu meeting if you're staying here, a reading and chess lounge (reminiscent of a B and B), and even a secret Board Room. There is a self service wine and beer station in the lobby as well, but there's a fee per ounce. Upstairs hallways appears new, fresh, and well furnished. I love a new, spotless hall carpet! Our room was industrial chic, very apropos. Brick walls and beautiful furnishings within. And VERY clean! Bathroom wasn't too tiny but the barn door doesn't shut tightly. Not a problem for a couple 30 years married, but if your with friends beware they may hear things. The bed was very firm, maybe a little too firm for me. Not the standard Marriott (again this isn't one). But i could tell it was quality. Not that cheap foam mattresses. Pillows for comfy. You have to request if you want housekeeping here. I love a professional freshly made bed and towel replenishment so I did request. Outside there is a place to walk dogs. Cons:So as of today the restaurant is not open. They offer a 10$ breakfast package but it's probably much better to walk up to Main Street for a fresh baked food or a homemade meal. There is no gym(sadly) and no pool (very sadly). For the amount you pay for a room, at least one of those are expected. My suggestion is for them to at least have a small weight room with a few cardio machines. And maybe a sauna/whirlpool. Staff was nice, but there aren't many of them as there aren't too many guests yet. Which is fine with me. We used Marriott points and we were satisfied. I'm not sure I would pay full price unless it was a full service hotel. We're not local, but this is home base to my hubby's family so we know this area very well. The Balladeer is clean and beautiful, and close to the action during Mayberry Days and the Autumn Leaves festival. So come check it out.

They have free coffee and tea and sell sodas, snacks and even cold beer! Quick check in. Very clean and well taken care of I can't state that enough. As others said maybe to some it "looks" dated but trust me don't skip this place. Costs us 61$ for 2 people through Expedia and I'll book this place again every time I need a place to stay on the road if I'm in that area. Comfy beds, linens great, towels smelled like fresh laundry and not bleach. Mini fridge with microwave. Plenty of room. Quiet. Nice bathrooms. Give the recliner a whirl, super comfy almost fell asleep in it.

Yes, there are hints of wear and dampness, but the motel is well-maintained, and you really do well here for the rock-bottom price they charge. Maybe not the finest example of motel architecture out there, but a sincerely good one. Top it off with good customer service and you really can't beat it.

We stayed at the Enchanted Cottage Friday 10/8/21 to Monday 10/11/21. The cottage itself has…read moretremendous charm. The decor is quite interesting, showing a lot of thought. I really enjoyed studying the paintings, hangings, and decor on higher areas. Horizontal surface area within reach was at a premium, as we had to move some of the decor to make room for our stuff: books, laptops, phones, etc. If you're visiting during colder months and love tending a real fire in the fireplace, be sure to contact the host ahead of time to ensure firewood, etc. is ready and waiting on arrival. The garden is beautiful and the couch on the porch is really comfy. I'd suggest bringing your own throw blankets if you like to curl up in front of the fireplace on the couch. The ones we brought were washable and soft, much more practical than the one decorating the couch. We like to know what we're wrapped in is freshly washed. There are no window coverings! The cottage is truly isolated and the only visitor we saw was a deer walking by the windows. I walked outside while my wife showered at night and found anyone can see in through the steamed up windows. But then again, you're surrounded by forest. The kitchen is small and cute. We brought stuff to warm up in the microwave so it was fine. The fridge was big enough to hold the food we brought for 3-4 days. Cooking a big meal would be a challenge. The WiFi is useless for anything but email. I measured the upload and download speeds by accessing a speed measuring website. The download speed was 200x slower and the upload speed was 800x slower than what I have at home. And I don't have the highest speed offered in my area at home. Dugspur is truly rural. You feel like you are deep in the heart of farms and ranches. In October it was very picturesque. On Sunday we went to IC DeHart Memorial Park to walk some of their trails. It was a 45 minute drive, but well worth it. It was the second week of October and most of the trail was covered with beautiful fall leaves. We took the yellow trail and walked the 3 miles in just under an hour. You want drive past the tennis courts to park by the picnic area, which has toilets with running water. They were out of toilet paper so come prepared. The trail meanders through beautiful woods, and ends back at the DeHart family graveyard. The tombstones tell their own history through several family generations. We talked to a local woman who takes her dog on walks there frequently. She said that the hot summer months are a completely different experience. In August her dog got stung by many hornets while walking the trails so her dog is no longer willing to walk those trails. Hiking in cool October was a great experience with no pests, so plan accordingly. On our way back we enjoyed some ice cream at the town of Floyd's general store. There was an outdoor concert of Latin music for anyone that wanted to sit and listen. It wasn't crowded and several families brought picnics. Instead of heading straight home to Northern VA on Monday, we made a slight detour to walk the High Bridge trail in Farmville, by the Appomattox River. There's a parking lot with restrooms one mile from the bridge. There's no need to go to the state park to park. If you don't want to walk, you can rent bikes in town. Lots of families were doing that. The historical markers explained the bridge's role at the end of the Civil War when Lee surrendered to Grant. The bridge is impressive. Looking down from the bridge was a bit unnerving for me as I don't enjoy heights. We walked the trail down to the river, under the bridge, and then back up the other side. It was a beautiful hike and seeing the old original bridge supports made me appreciate how much amazing engineering was done back in the 1800's. Because of the detour we took to Farmville, we were on back country roads all the way to Culpeper before we hit the divided highway there to take us the rest of the way back to NoVa. It was a beautiful drive on well-maintained two-lane roads and we made good time.

The fairway is probably 60-70 feet below you and stretches out towards the tree line. The par 3 2nd comes back a little to your left, and then you see the third hole as it wraps around water just below. Absolutely stunning. It's a tough track and I would say is fun from every set of tees (black, blue, white, gold, and even the red tees). Water comes into play on about a dozen holes. Highlights are the first tee box/first hole (it's a reachable par 5), the third as it wraps around a pond, the second half of the par 5 5th hole, the eighth hole looks like it's on top of the world, the views from the 10th tee box, the thirteenth hole (a brute of a par 5), and some of the best par 4s in Virginia (holes 15, 16, and 18). I stayed in the smaller of the two lodges that overlook the 18th green. We had a suite with a master with a king and another room with two double beds. Lots of space, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a porch. It was also the cleanest room I may have ever stayed in. Some of the nicest views were from the porch that included the storm that rolled through at night and the fog that followed in the morning. There is only one restaurant on property and the food was excellent. Love that the dessert menu was never fixed. I had an ice cream cookie sandwich that was excellent. The people here truly make this place special. Whoever cleaned our room deserves a raise. Bo (the head pro) and Sherrie in the pro shop are maybe the nicest people I have met playing golf, and that is saying something. The wait staff and grounds crew were all extremely nice as well. I know there is a 5-star resort down the road that I visited for a bit, but I would much rather be here every day of the week. (Not saying I wouldn't turn down a free stay and play at the other place.) Needless to say this is now on my list for places to have a relaxing weekend getaway filled with great golf.
