Clemmons is a charming, walkable village on the Yadkin River with leafy neighborhoods, riverside greenways and Tanglewood Park’s trails, golf and seasonal festivals — a relaxed but active base with easy short‑term rentals, grocery/fitness options and a growing café/brewery scene that makes multi‑week stays comfortable and enjoyable.
Winston‑Salem (10–15 minutes) gives you Old Salem, Reynolda House, theaters and a lively dining/brewery scene, while Greensboro (≈30–40 minutes) adds the Piedmont Triad International Airport plus larger arts, sports and entertainment options, so you can vary weekends without feeling stuck.
