Fantastic stay, perfect location

A group of us stayed at the Stone House for a few days before a family wedding at Mountain Lake, and it was the perfect choice! All accommodations were thoughtful and comfortable, with an impressive blend of technology, comfort, and beautifully curated decor. We hosted a small pre-wedding cocktail reception here; the kitchen was super well-appointed and we found everything needed to prep and serve appetizers to our guests. Overall a five-star experience, we're looking forward to staying at the Stone House again in coming years!

Family Reunion

The Stone House is beyond gorgeous, definitely a “wow” factor. We held our family reunion here and could not have found a better place. The host was wonderful to work with and very timely with any questions we had. The house itself along with all the furnishings is just spectacular. Black Dog Salvage did an amazing job with the restoration. We look forward to returning!

Graduation Getaway

We stayed at the property for a Virginia Tech graduation weekend and fell in love with the place. It was exquisitely decorated and spotlessly cleaned, with every attention to every detail. The history of the home is fascinating. Thank you for restoring and caring for this beauty and being such gracious hosts. The park across the street is an added bonus. We did have one scare with a park visitor who is likely unhoused but he moved on quickly. Otherwise, the stay was absolutely perfect. You won’t want to leave. We can’t wait to come back to spend more time Roanoke the next time.
