Hi, I’m Beata Lorinc, and I’m so glad you’re considering Mayberry River Retreat for your stay. I’m a longtime short-term rental owner and professional property manager with over a decade of experience hosting guests and caring for homes. Mayberry River Retreat is not just a rental to me—it’s a place I’ve thoughtfully designed, curated, and maintained to create the kind of stays guests remember long after they return home. I believe the best vacations aren’t about checking off attractions—they’re about slowing down, being present, and spending quality time with the people who matter most. My goal is to provide a space that feels welcoming, well cared for, and easy to enjoy, with clear communication and attention to detail from booking through checkout.
