Hope everyone is staying cool in this heat!

Just had to pass along this "review" from a new friend, Vera Midkiff:

This 'house' has PERSONALITY AND CHARM....it is always fun to ride by and see what is new and different outside. It has been guest closed for about a year due to Covid precautions though a table of mask and hand sanitizer sits on the front porch for anyone being allowed inside. She invites tourist to come sit and rock on the large, comfortable front porch and rest for a spell. It is so comfortable and always something interesting to look at......
but most wonderful is the owner has a big sense of humor... just.today for instance, there was a big red basket holding a huge stuffed dog dressed in kid's clothes and with a big straw hat a top its head and sitting on the hood of her car out at her front steps. It always makes me smile....the rest of the historic neighborhood is rather sterile and blandly neat, golf course type mowed lawns, and no sign of human life visible......to sit on the 501 South Main Street porch is to hear laughter and various stories of early Mount Airy, even before the fame of Andy Griffith's tv show. Her sweet rescue dog sits at the storm door wiggling with the hopes someone will give her an outing....she is very friendly and happy. She was scared to ride on my motor bike though but sometimes we go for a run down to the post office and back. Her name is Ester Mae!

Ride by slowly and be prepared to smile!

She has Christmas time open houses with the entrance fee given to the local Salvation Army for sending Surry County children to a week of summer camp. A tour of the entire house and the remaining slave cabin out back are decorated for the season and cookies are given out as guest leave. The owner and some of her friends are dressed in olden times' clothing, even down to lace caps for the ladies which was the fashion in ages past.

Howdy y'all! Cousin Emma's plans to reopen June 1st for small events here by reservation: high tea, local tales, and house tours. Cost is $10 per person (no children under 10) and all proceeds go to the Salvation Army's Kids to Camp program. Note for high tea, the cost is $60 with up to six people (dressing up is optional) .

Groups like our local informal drumming circle, Reiki group, and grief support group will resume (again, with a maximum of six attendees). Contact us for more information.

In advance, thanks for not wearing perfume. Plenty of hand sanitizer will be on hand and masks will be required indoors.

We are hoping to open for overnight guests soon. Note that bed and breakfast guests must supply vaccination card photocopy at time of pre-paid reservation.
