About the host
Hosted by Steve Ambruzs
Hello dear guests! I'm a proud Roanoke native, having grown up amidst its scenic beauty and warm community. When I'm not hosting, I love exploring the hidden gems of our region, relishing the history, and enjoying the outdoor activities it offers. Being a host gives me immense pleasure, as it allows me to share a piece of my hometown with travelers like you and ensures you experience the genuine warmth and charm of Roanoke. Can't wait to welcome you!"
Why they chose this property
Choosing to buy a cabin in Catawba, Virginia, was a decision rooted in both nostalgia and nature. Catawba, with its lush landscapes and serene environment, has always been a haven for me. The majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, the tranquility of the forested trails, and the genuine warmth of its community reminded me of the simple joys of life. Purchasing a cabin there felt like securing a piece of untouched beauty, a personal retreat where time seems to stand still, and every visit feels like a rejuvenating escape.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets our cabin apart is its harmonious blend of rustic charm and nature's bounty. As you step outside, you're greeted by our friendly goats grazing in the back field, adding a touch of pastoral magic to the setting. Beyond them, the breathtaking view of the Blue Ridge Mountains unfolds, creating a panorama that soothes the soul. Inside, the cabin retains a rustic authenticity, making you feel as though you've traveled back to a simpler, more grounded time. It's not just a stay; it's an experience where every element tells a story.
