The local hotel we stayed at was just down the road and provided an exquisite lodging experience we seldom find elsewhere as we travel.

Now, Walkertown is a lot more developed and less rural. However, it is nowhere near as developed as Winston-Salem, especially downtown. Winston-Salem is a built up city with a lot of impervious surfaces.
