River Views | A-Frame + Hot Tub + Fenced Yard + Adventure Fort + Fire Pit | House in Mount Airy
2 Bedroom House in Mount Airy
Perched above the Ararat River just 2.5 miles from Main Street, this completely rebuilt storybook A-frame feels wonderfully tucked away. Stargaze from the hot tub, make s'mores around the fire pit, challenge someone to "one more" game of ping pong, or let the kids disappear into the Lookout Fort. Soaring windows bring beautiful river views inside, while a private path leads down to the water. Fully fenced in and designed so everyone can play, relax, reconnect and enjoy their own vacation.
