We were visiting our grandson in Daleville. The VRBO provided us with a very enjoyable stay. The only thing that we would suggest is adding grab bars to the shower. We are 70, and the tub is difficult to get in and out of.

Great stay

Had a great stay in Roanoke. It’s minutes away from the Mcafee Knob trailhead and 20 mins from Roanoke, VA. The property was great, chrck-in process was pretty smooth, and ample space to park 2 cars. There is also a firepit and we were graciously provided with firewood and some smores which we enjoyed after a day hike. I would definitely book again if I am back in this area.
