My sister and I stayed for a weekend at Kate's Memories with a plan to visit Grayson Highlands State Park to hike and see the ponies. The cottage is simple, but clean and equipped with everything we needed. As mentioned in a prior review, this is a rural setting and the grocery store isn't right around the corner--so we packed food, beverages and snacks. We arrived during daylight, which I recommend--easier to see road signs etc. We walked the lane, visited the resident horse and donkey and made a lovely bonfire Friday night--us and smores and the bullfrogs in the pond. Saturday we went to Grayson Highlands and spent a full day there. We were quite tired by the time we got home so we cooked dinner in and enjoyed another bonfire. So peaceful and relaxing. We departed on Sunday--having made some great memories. If you are looking for a quiet getaway--close to great parks, trails and the New River--check out Kate's Memories! Tina, the owner responded quickly when we had a question and was friendly and helpful.
Thanks for a great stay!
