Located in Ararat, this welcoming cottage brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 13-minute drive to Andy Griffith's Homeplace or the 14-minute drive to The Andy Griffith Museum (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the patio and firepit. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and table tennis.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill, a fireplace, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a blender. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a dryer.
