Roanoke Outdoor Destination

Great Host, very kind and responsive. This was a nice comfortable location, well maintained, full kitchen and a great patio area for enjoying the beautiful property. This was a perfect base to hit the triple crown hiking and close enough quickly get to Roanoke for some fun in the city. Highly Recommend!

Enjoyed the rural vibe of our stay. The place was well stocked with kitchen ware and overall very comfortable. We saw several deer early in the morning and at dusk.

We love this place. Second stay for a family reunion in the area. Perfect for our peeps, outdoor activities, hiking, biking, and close to shopping. Host is pleasant. Place is clean. Great stay.

The location is lovely!The hose is very nice, I was using it for a retreat and it's really more of a family house, but the location is really wonderful, quite and prettyThe communication was not thorough. Apparently there is a no-smoking policy on the property, which I did not see in any of the owner's communication.The stay was for two nights, but the check in was so late (4:00) that we really could not get much time in on the first night, and check out was so early (10:00) we did not really have any time the last day for anything but breakfast and clean up. We really only got one day. Still, it was a lovely stay in a beautiful area in a comfy house.

Our family had a fantastic stay in Emily’s home. It was very clean and spacious. We loved drinking coffee on the large back deck and watching the deer walk by. It’s walking distance to several trails and a short drive to others. We have family in the area and hope to stay here again next time we’re visiting.

In town for a Senior Softball tourney in Roanoke and Salem. Turned out to be a great place to unwind after long days in the heat. Would stay here again.

My wife & I spent a week at this property to hike in Carvins Cove & the surrounding mountains. We loved the quiet, secluded location with hiking (& mountain biking / horse) trails right at the end of the driveway. Access points to the AT, grocery stores, restaurants & downtown Roanoke are all nearby. While this is an older home, it is comfortably furnished & everything worked well. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The owner (Emily) was very helpful & always responsive to our inquires. Cell service is spotty, but the Wi-Fi worked well. It would have been nice to have a functional fireplace for our winter visit, but other than that, the house was perfect for us.

Emily is a wonderful host, answering lots of questions before our stay. The home was clean and well provisioned, in a wonderful neighborhood. A wide variety of hiking trails are less than a 5 minute walk from the front door. Plan on unplugging and enjoying nature, including the visiting deer families.

Our all seniors family stayed a long weekend to attend a family reunion in Salem. It was a great place for us. Quiet, beautiful, lots of deer, hiking trails, all in proximity to where mom grew up. Host Emily was great and place was awesome!! the place was awesome

We were a group of 60+ year old men and women. The guys were hiking on the trails in the area and the ladies were hanging out. The house was spacious enough for all of us. The natural beauty of the area was very nice. There were many deer and birds and a few lizards to watch. We got lucky with the weather, every day was beautiful. They have games to play and some books if we did have a rainy day. No TV and minimal phone service so if than matters to you, maybe look elsewhere. We loved it. defiantly recommend it .

Excellent location, quiet and private. Exactly what we were looking for. Even found hiking trails right out of the backyard. Didn’t want to leave. House had plenty of room. Kitchen was fully equipped. Spent lots of time on the patio out back!

We used the house mostly as a home base to multiple hikes. It was comforting to come back to. Clean, with a lovely location

Come unplug with family and friends. Enjoy nature from the trees and stars to the mountains and animals.

This property was great for my family, with plenty of room to spread out inside, as well as a lovely back porch with built in seating. My husband and I went out each morning with our coffee and admired the deer. I strongly caution anyone driving in the neghborhood to keep it to a slow crawl because the beautiful deer are everywhere. The house has a warm vibe and beautiful artwork, as well as everything you might need in the kitchen.
