Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Martinsville

If only we could give the location 12 stars! We know the Dan River, so we expected the fishing to be good and the weather to be lovely, but we also know Kibler Valley just up the river, so we also expected holiday crowds. We couldn’t have been more wrong. Estelle’s place was quiet and peaceful the whole of Memorial Day weekend. The house was well built and well furnished for large groups. The kitchen was large enough to cook for eight and the dining table large enough to seat us all together. We spent hours enjoying each other’s company on the scenic front porch and strolling the path by the river. I could go on. Let it suffice to say we had a terrific weekend and look forward to visiting again.

Such a beautiful and peaceful location. It was so easy to get to, the roads were well maintained and the house was spotless. I really appreciated the extra effort like coffee left with creamer and sugar and a little snack basket with individually wrapped pretzels and cookies. I can’t recommend this place enough as it was perfect for my husband, self, and our toddler. Will definitely be returning if in that direction again :)

This was a lovely little house for a short stay. There were animals that you could see out the back window and everything was clean and comfortable! They had a loop driveway so it was easy to get in and out. We would definitely stay here again!

This place was amazing. House on a hill with vistas 360. Ezekiel could not have been more thoughtful when preparing the house. Completely stacked kitchen and not with cheap stuff- it was all high quality. Beds, furniture bathrooms were expertly done. My family had a wonderful time and getting to know Ezekiel was blessing to us. Wonderful host who truly cares. Pro tip- you are out there- bring what you need. Nothing is close and its totally worth it.

This was one of the most beautiful Airbnb’s we have stayed at. Very peaceful, had everything we needed and more. Truly a perfect location and a really well maintained home. Thank you, Andy!

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Emily's lovely and bright airbnb. It was the perfect place to kick-off our 2-week road trip. Emily kindly allowed us to check in an hour early. This allowed us to eat an early dinner before heading out to see the Roanoke star on a day when storms were forecast for the evening. Luckily, we avoided any storms. Seeing the star was lots of fun! On the way back to the airbnb, we stopped off for some fro-yo at Sweet Frog, conveniently located just 5 minutes from Emily's place. Then our family enjoyed playing some ping-pong before calling it a night. Everything was so clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The backyard is filled with birdsong, and the neighborhood is very peaceful. We felt very at home here, and we'd definitely return here if in the area again.

This is my second time staying in this fantastic cabin and one more time we had an amazing weekend here. The view is beautiful, very relaxing, the beds are very comfy and love the fact that we had everything we need in here. Matthew thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us. We will come back soon.

Beautiful place. Gorgeous views when it’s not foggy 😊. Bed was extremely comfy. Great amenities. Well stocked with kitchen utensils, pots, pans etc. We had a little issue getting in and there was no cell service to call but a neighbor up the road told us a spot to get cell service to contact her. We saw a lot of deer and turkey. Great spot to rest before continuing our long ride home! Highly recommend 😊

Anthony's place was very clean and welcoming. felt secluded even though was close to everything. was well pleased with our stay. only drawback was we weren't able to control the temperature and the house was 76 degrees too hot for June. Anthony did turn it down some but was still too hot for us . plenty of wildlife if that's your thing, the deer come close enough to almost pet them . I will definitely stay here again it's perfect for just 2 people

Rain was an amazing host! Can’t go wrong with this place

Clean and nicely decorated place. The only thing to mention is that we could hear the neighbors getting in and out of their apartment, sometimes in the middle of the night. The AC is also quite noisy when it starts. But overall great place to stay in!

I loved everything about Jeanette's tiny house AirBnB. I felt inspired to have stayed there for three nights. I got a lot of work accomplished for my clients while staying there. As well as now feeling rested and ready for the next leg of my journey. Even the exterior and interiordesign of this tiny house inspired me. I hope one day I'll be able to design and build something that evokes the same feeling of spaciousness in such a small space—perhaps as a studio for my creative projects that might also double as a place where my visitors might stay. Highly recommended!

Staying with Mr Jane was a pleasure. The location was perfect, the apartment was cozy and spotless. The place was well-equipped and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. This is a peaceful downstairs apartment with private entry and beautiful backyard with swimming pool. Mrs Jane was always available to answer our questions. unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!" 

Eight of us rented this house for a book club 20th anniversary celebration. It is an older building, but has been beautifully renovated and modernized. The kitchen was well-equipped, including basic supplies and the entire place was immaculate. I believe this is the first Airbnb I have rented that had enough towels for everyone. It also had a lovely back porch for morning coffee and adequate parking. The owners answered any questions almost immediately in addition to providing detailed information about the house and Durham on their Airbnb page. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Durham.

Our stay was more than we expected. Lisa and Ginny were such accommodating hosts. We felt like family! We will definitely be booking again when we’re in town visiting our children.

Phenomenal value, relaxing property, easy access to the lakes, covered parking made this a win!

This was our first time staying at an AirBnB and will not be our last. We were impressed! Paula’s SheShed was amazing! The view alone was worth it, you feel as if you are on top of the world. The SheShed is rustic looking but that is all that is rustic. It has everything you could ever want and Paula made sure you knew where everything was. She even went as far as leaving us a bottle of wine, glasses and a card from a local winery since she knew we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The place is clean, very well appointed. There is even wood for the fire pit and gas for the grill. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of pillows which is something I’m picky about to my Husbands frustration, lol! If you are going to just relax, explore the area or just vegetate for a few days this is the perfect place. It is quiet and relaxing. Sparta and Mt Airy aren’t far if you need more.

My son and I had the best time staying at the black water junction cabin. We fell in love with the view, the animals, and the atmosphere. The cabin was spotless and fully stocked with anything we could have needed. The binder telling all of the history and little unique additions was so interesting! The bed was comfy, the towels were heated, and there were fresh eggs in the fridge. The hosts are so friendly and so quick to answer any questions I had. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We will definitely be back!

Nice weekend get away. Place is very clean, secluded, and peaceful. Pictures represent the property perfectly!

We had an excellent stay in this cabin. It was quiet and private but still close to things we wanted to do. The little walking trail on the property was great. 10/10 would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our visit! The house was perfect. We were so happy just relaxing on the deck and in the hot tub. We lost power only briefly but the generator kicked on so no real interruption. We found it hard to leave and head back home. Thank you for the wine as well as such a beautiful place to spend our vacation.

Southern C’s was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Scott greeted us upon arrival and introduced us to the property. He was super personable and nice to talk to and was available throughout our entire stay if we needed him. The cabin itself was so unique and antique but with the necessary modern comforts. Our senior dog did struggle at first with the stairs but we carried her up for bedtime at night and eventually she figured them out on her own; they are just steep and widely spaced. It can be a little warm upstairs for a hot sleeper like myself at night but with the fan it cooled off well enough. Highly recommend taking some time to walk around the property and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The horses boarded there as well as the owners horse are incredibly beautiful and well taken care of. If you ask, Scott will introduce you to some. We plan to return here for another trip.

Absolutely a great place for a quiet, peaceful getaway. Rented a boat and docked it right at the cabin, the cabin had everything we needed, and the lake is beautiful to be on!

This cabin was beautiful! It was private and getting away from the world by having no internet was what we needed! The host was very knowledgeable in and I loved learning all about its history.
