A Peaceful Haven Above All Else
Our stay at “Above all Else at Windsong” was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the immaculate house and well-maintained surroundings that immediately made us feel at home. The tranquility of the location provided a much-needed peaceful retreat. Sue Doll, the owner, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to our stay that was greatly appreciated. Her quick responses to our inquiries ensured that we had everything we needed, making our experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s rare to find a place that truly feels like a home away from home, and “Above all Else at Windsong” achieves this with ease. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a beautiful setting.

Excellent Stay
We had a great stay at Above All Else Windsong. Sue was fantastic! She put up a Christmas tree for us and made sure the house was spotless. She was very communicative before we arrived and even flew the Texas flag for us. We really appreciated Sue's hard work and attention to detail. We would absolutely stay here again.

Small slice of heaven
This tucked away abode was incredibly hospitable. Situated in the remote countryside, you never have to worry about traffic. Private gated entrance made sure we weren’t disturbing the owners when we went about our business. Our kids adored the horses and the ability to help out with farm chores. They’ve already begged me to take them back. Our dogs even enjoyed their time there which was a last minute addition to our trip. Early morning tea or coffee on the porch is a must as you watch the horses.

Amazing House, and great hosts
We visited the Mt Airy area for my wifes birthday. She loves horses, and it was a no brainer for me to book our stay with Sue and Jim at Windsong Arabians. Checkin was smooth, and Sue and Jim were great. The house was perfect. Clean and spacious. We had a great time on the property hanging out with the horses. At night the property was peacceful, and allowed for a very relaxing time. We look forward to booking another trip to Mt Airy, and our only choice to stay will be with Sue and Jim. Thank you very much

About the host

Hosted by Sue Doll

Host profile image
This house was originally designed for Jim's parents... bedroom and bathroom downstairs and 3 bedrooms upstairs for family overnights. Our youngest daughter then lived in the house for 2 years, married and bought a home of their own. We have been renting this house for vacation stays since 2002. We have had guests from just about every state in the Union and from many countries. We enjoy meeting new folks and sharing the house and the farm.
