Travellers praise Bradley Cottage in the heart of "Mayberry" for its walkable location near Mt. Airy attractions, very clean and cozy interiors with nostalgic decor, and friendly, responsive hosts who add thoughtful touches that make the house feel like home.
Many appreciate the mid-century character paired with modern conveniences, a well stocked kitchen, and a pleasant front porch for relaxing. Some mention TV/app setup glitches, sticky doors, a firm bed, and awareness of a garage apartment or nearby renovations; a few felt exterior photos or an initial musty smell didn't match expectations. Expect a nostalgic, comfortable home base with personable hosts.

This little cottage was everything we like about VRBO. Comfortable and convenient with the charm of a real home. We enjoyed wine tasting in the area, walked downtown, and relaxed watching Mayberry DVD's in the evening. Definitely recommend this home.

Loved this beautiful cottage. It is exactly like the photos and decorated beautifully. Loved the location to everything. Within walking distance to Main Street and shopping. Quiet neighborhood and parking in driveway. Fully stocked with everything you need. We loved our time there and will book again. The owner was quick to reply and Autumn (manager on location) was so nice and helpful. We loved the front porch too.

This property was in the perfect location. I could walk to anywhere. I felt so comfy and so at home. I absolutely loved the record player. I hope to stay again on my return up north!

This is the 3rd time renting this house. We love it. It has everything we need and the location couldn’t be better. Comfy, homey and cute! We love sitting on the front porch and playing the guitars in the evening and watching the traffic go by. Definitely will rent again!

We really enjoyed our stay! It was so close to town. Everything was spotless. There were plenty of linens and blankets. It smelled clean but not of chemicals (which is great because I don’t clean with chemicals). The house had plenty of room for our whole family and the kitchen was fully stocked. The description says it sleeps 6 (sleeper couch), but it’s not a full size sleeper couch it’s just a futon style. So unless 2 of those guests are under 5, it really wouldn’t sleep 6.

Stayed at this property on the way driving to Florida. What a great find! Much better than staying in a hotel. It is perfectly located in downtown Mt. Airy just a few short steps from Wallys Service Station and the sheriff office of Mayberry. It is on a very quiet street with great off-street parking. The house has been renovated and was perfect for an overnight stay. Very clean and the kitchen had everything needed for preparing a mean including "southern grits" for breakfast. And for those that like Andy Griffith...there was a full set of DVD\'s of every show he made!!! Would definitely give a 5 star plus rating!!!!

The house was in the perfect location and it was like stepping back into time. My daughter was obsessed with the record player and enjoyed every minute there. The house was very clean and even though it was an older house it still had all the modern features. We will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Bradley Cottage! The house is just perfect and we felt right at home with all the thoughtful touches. We enjoyed watching the Andy Griffith DVDs in the living room and loved a fully equipped kitchen that enabled us to prepare our own breakfast each morning with food purchased at a vet nice Lowes Grocery store nearby. Being able to walk to downtown “Mayberry “ was so wonderful! We enjoyed taking evening strolls downtown after all the crowds were gone. No line at Scoops ice cream parlor! We will definitely stay here again and will recommend it to all our friends!

The Bradley Cottage was perfect for our one-night stay in Mt. Airy. The host could not have been more accommodating, providing extras like coffee, tea, spices, etc., and the cottage itself was everything we had hoped it would be. The 1950's/1960's style furnishings and the decorations were "right on" and just adorable. (The beds were not of that era, so very, very comfortable!) We felt like we had stepped back in time. Everything (i.e., Wally's Service Station, shops, etc.) was so close, too! We'll be back and stay longer! Thank you for a memorable trip.

Bradley Cottage was a wonderful, comfortable and well-priced placed to stay on my trip to Mt. Airy. The bed was super comfortable, the house was immaculate and cheery, and you can’t beat the location. It’s probably walkable to downtown, but I chose to drive. The owners have plenty of resources on restaurants as well as pamphlets on nearby things to do. And if you want to binge watch the Andy Griffith show, they have the dvd set. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat!

A step back in time. My mother and I were greeted by wonderful clean smell when we walked in. The sweet little house was just perfect for a little mother daughter get away. Very clean and organized, special touches, owner communicated well. An older home but very nice and decorated beautifully. Would highly recommend. Wally's Filling station is right at the corner where you can get a tour in one of the sheriff cars. A great stay and wonderful town.

Overall, location was nice because it’s in walking distance of everything in Mayberry and Mount Airy, as far as the downtown strip goes plenty of places to eat lots of stores to enjoy. There is a garage apartment behind the house that someone lives in and the house next-door was being renovated and the homeowners were working on the house until 1130 at night. The house smells very musty when you walk in and has a pretty hokey hook lock on the basement that is under the house, which when we arrived was completely open at the outside door so we felt like anyone could walk in in the middle of the night so I would say the pictures are a bit deceiving as it appears to be on a nice little street in the heart of Mayberry and it’s actually not. Would not stay there again.

We were not in the house much because we had a lot of things on our list. That being said, when we got to the house we knew it was “us”. The floors, doors, furnishings, cleanliness… It was all good. We are huge fans of older homes with new life. You will want for nothing and you can easily walk to town for a bit of shopping or something to eat and it’s very close. If you want granite countertops, forget it, if you want perfect, this is it. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

This property is the cutest cottage - an older home that has been updated but still keeping with it's original details and charm. My 91 YO dad loved it - it was very nostalgic for him. I would have loved to stay a bit longer just to soak in the nostalgia. I would highly recommend this property, it is walking distance to several of the Mayberry sights. If I am in the area for an overnight, I will stay here again.

This was a perfect home for my sister and I on a Sisters Roadtrip! The home was so cute and absolutely perfect for us with the 2 well appointed bedrooms with comfortable beds and beautiful linens! We both slept so well! The bathroom was perfect too with plenty of room with everything you would need to shower and dress! We loved sitting on the front porch and resting after a long ride to get there! We met the caretaker, and I am sorry to have forgotten her name, but she was a delight to talk to! She does a wonderful job keeping the home clean and welcoming! We enjoyed our stay immensely and if you are in the area, you would be fortunate to stay in this lovely home! If we return to the area, for sure, this would be the first place we would inquire to stay! Thank you for the awesome experience!

Took my 15 year old son for a quick trip. The house was plenty big for us and the location was great. My only suggestion would be to add a ceiling fan in the front bedroom for those of us that need that extra cooling at night. I was impressed that they think of most everything, including makeup remover wipes. May sound silly to some people but it was obvious they want to take care of their linens and make things easy and convenient for guests. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and playing games. The house is very close to Wally’s so the police car tour was easy and fun! Communication with the owner was quick. One of the best things about this property is the caretaker. She is so kind, soft spoken, and eager to help. She’s definitely one of the most humble people I’ve met. Looking forward to another trip when we can stay a bit longer!

Everything (i.e., Wally's Service Station, shops, etc.) was so close, too! We'll be back and stay longer! Thank you for a memorable trip.

Location
Exceptional location within easy walking distance of downtown Mt. Airy and key Mayberry sights like Wally's and the Courthouse, in a generally quiet neighborhood. A few mentioned nearby renovation activity or felt the immediate area wasn't as charming as photos.

Great location right next to Wally's Garage (our favorite photo spot). Loved sitting on the porch and watching the rain. Love the original character of this old home. It was fun for the kids to see how people used to live. Super cute!

The cottage is very nice and very clean. It is fully stocked with everything you need. You can walk to the Courthouse and Wally's gas station. So that is nice. We will definitely book this cottage again for any trip back to Mt. Airy!

The house was cozy and comfortable. Very “homey.” It was close to downtown and all the cool shops and historic places we wanted to visit. We are big Andy Griffith fans, even my 16 year old grandchild enjoys the TV show, and it was fun to visit the town of “Mayberry.”

Stayed at this property on the way driving to Florida. What a great find! Much better than staying in a hotel. It is perfectly located in downtown Mt. Airy just a few short steps from Wallys Service Station and the sheriff office of Mayberry. It is on a very quiet street with great off-street parking. The house has been renovated and was perfect for an overnight stay. Very clean and the kitchen had everything needed for preparing a mean including "southern grits" for breakfast. And for those that like Andy Griffith...there was a full set of DVD\'s of every show he made!!! Would definitely give a 5 star plus rating!!!!

Overall, location was nice because it’s in walking distance of everything in Mayberry and Mount Airy, as far as the downtown strip goes plenty of places to eat lots of stores to enjoy. There is a garage apartment behind the house that someone lives in and the house next-door was being renovated and the homeowners were working on the house until 1130 at night. The house smells very musty when you walk in and has a pretty hokey hook lock on the basement that is under the house, which when we arrived was completely open at the outside door so we felt like anyone could walk in in the middle of the night so I would say the pictures are a bit deceiving as it appears to be on a nice little street in the heart of Mayberry and it’s actually not. Would not stay there again.

The home was a beautiful, charming, old, small town home that made you feel like you stepped back in time. It was exactly as described in the add. We were in town to experience everything about Andy Griffith and Mayberry. Location was literally 4 doors down from Wally's service station, on main street and 5 mins from anything in town. The home was very clean with upgraded appliances, and plumbing fixtures. The beds were very comfortable.
