Amazing Roanoke Getaway
This rental was perfect! The details, the cleanliness, the size, the upgrades, the location, and the owner answered all questions I had before our arrival. You can tell this owner takes pride in his vacation rental!

Fantastic Stay for Remote Work and Family Vacation!
Our 12-day stay at this property was wonderful! We were impressed with how well-equipped and comfortable everything was. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook dinners, including pots and pans, oil, salt/pepper, etc. The two beds were comfortable, and our 3-year-old loved the air mattress. The house was very nicely remodeled and has a lot of character. The dedicated office and extra monitor made it easy to work remotely and the high-speed WiFi made video calls seamless. The location was ideal for biking, which was great since my husband biked to the hospital for work a couple of days using the nearby bike path by the river. This was a great location but not a bougious neighborhood. We felt safe going for walks and sitting on the porch at night, but there were a few wayward souls about who kept to themselves. If you want to stay in the suburbs, stay in the suburbs, otherwise we wholeheartedly recommend this rental!

Adorable cottage
This cute little house is so well done - multiple chargers everywhere, coffee and snacks stocked, super easy check in/check out. And the bar was not only full of great liquor, but also some mixers!

Modern convenience in a classic house
This is a great house to stay at. You can tell the host put a lot of thought into what guests might need with multi device chargers throughout the home. The upstairs lounge/office was great and they even thought about having an available HDMi cord for connecting. Modern appliances and pretty much anything you would need is there. A good thing that is not advertised is this is a bike friendly house. The laundry room doubles as a mud room with wall mounted bike racks so you can secure your bike if you bring it. Which you should because there are parks and local restaurants near bye and there are dedicated bike lanes. All this wrapped in a beautiful classic home. We have stayed at many VRBOs and this was one of the best. The only suggestion I would make is maybe some curtains for the front entryway and the back door for more privacy. Better yet, go with stained glass on the front entry and it would make the house even more beautiful.

Just like the listing shows!
The house was beautiful. Very clean and tidy! So much was provided for us. And the communication was wonderful. We didn’t LOVE the street it was on BUT we would go back again in a heart beat. Only 5 minutes from great restaurants, coffee places and the children’s museum. Again the house was so great!

Super cute, older house
Super cute, older house with upgraded furnishing, appliances and HVAC, with plenty of space to stretch out. The kitchen has basic cookware to make small meals while staying and the have plenty of supplies to do laundry if you are planning a long stay. The location is a short drive from everything you could need. The neighborhood is mostly quiet and well lite at night. All bedrooms are upstairs and there is a street light right out side the window. Would recommend a heavier weight or black out curtains to help darken the room at night to sleep. Stephen was very accommodating and responsive to all of my questions and request for a fan as there are no fans upstairs to circulate the air.

Super cute, older house with upgraded furnishing, appliances and HVAC, with plenty of space to stretch out. Within a mile or 3 of everything you could need. Neighborhood is mostly quiet but it is street front in a city so there is some traffic but not so much that it interrupts a good night’s sleep on the very comfy beds. Technically not mobility-impaired friendly as it has steps to entry and all bedrooms and the shower are upstairs, but if that is not a need, this is a great location and affordable accommodation for a visit to Roanoke! Would stay again if in the area!
