Everything was perfect and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything including k cups from a previous guest. Live music on the river the weekend we were there. I was glad to be forewarned the rug was slippery but 91 yo mom did fine.

Great spot. The only drawback was that the edges of the carpet in living room are very slippery. But that’s as easy fix. Good place, good hosts. Would stay again

We had such a lovely time staying in the house! Everything was clean well thought out. We even got a couple of “free concerts“with the venue that was right across the river. We sat out on the back patio and got to listen both Friday and Saturday night.

Where is the river??? Cannot see it from the property. Neighborhood is sketchy, homeless sleeping at corner. Power plant very near house. Good location, but street blocked at the end, so had to go around each time.House was very nicely furnished, but very small bathroom. Listing was not accurate.We were disappointed.

Great stay for graduation

Wonderful stay. We had a graduation at VT, and while Roanoke is 45 min drive, quite a lot of people stay there because it is just easier and less crowded. Property was very clean, beds and linens super comfortable. Didn't get to use outside space because we were so busy. Lovely stay.

Perfect for what we needed.

This place was perfect. It had plenty of space, was clean, and close to everything. Initially, it was a little chilly downstairs, but once we turned the heat up a couple degrees, it was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needed a spot to rent in Roanoke.

Wonderful, Cozy Home on the River

The house was perfect for my family. Everything was comfortable, clean, and super cozy! The convenience of being able to walk to the hospital to visit a family member was wonderful and a huge stress relief. The walk/run/bike path that runs behind the property and along the river was amazing. Absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area!
