Very unique decor with attention to detail in an old and modern way. Absolutely amazing place really. Situated on the greenway and close to everything we needed.
Perfect house for our group gathering! Great weather allowed us to use the outdoor front porch and back deck.Location is close to good restaurants and breweries.
Besides being beautiful, the house was very clean, comfortable, in a great location, and full of amenities. Great communication and recommendations from the host. 10/10 would visit again.
This home was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Everything worked and was taken care of. The attention to details by the owner were simply wonderful. Fully stocked kitchen was wonderful for our family meals. The space was clean and comfortable. Location great for the Roanoke area.
The propert was amazing and location was perfect. We enjoyed walking to eateries in Grandin Village and exploring other parts of Roanoke by walking miles on the Greenway.
This is an amazing property. The beds are so comfortable, and the furnishings have been tastefully picked out to fit the house perfectly. The outdoor spaces are also very nice. You can walk right next door to Black Dog Salvage or take a nice walk on the trail.
Perfect property for our family gathering. Great location, fair price, communicative owners. Clean and well-maintained. Our second visit and we will be coming again.
Great property everything is state of the art and working. The host was super responsive as was the property manager. I would definitely recommend or stay her again
It was a perfect place to spend time with the family. The house had everything we needed. Questions were answered promptly. We are repeat customers and will stay there again.
The property is spacious, modern and clean. The kitchen was well equipped, the bathrooms updated and beds comfortable. Plenty of common space for family gatherings. Excellent location. Communication with owners was always timely and they were accommodating in every way. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
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!
Wonderful stay. Krista was very attentive and friendly. Quinn was so sweet and funny. All the staff made us feel welcome.
As a business owner, we know good staff is critical. Yall have done a great job.
