We really enjoyed our stay. The location was located far enough out of town to be able to see the night sky and but close enough to be able to quickly get to downtown. The cabin was well furnished and had a relaxing style. We would love to stay here again.

We had a great stay. Have stayed there 3 times. There’s a local pub up the road that we liked too for a casual lowkey time.

The kitchen was well equipped and they had pet blankets available to go over the furniture. We bring our own, but it was nice to have extra available. Our host was very responsive and overall we had a pleasant stay.

Great Mountain Getaway Close to Everything!

This property is a very convenient location to Roanoke and Salem, but is secluded enough you are away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. The property has been lovingly restored and has all modern amenities. Property manager was responsive and check-in was super easy. Great little mountain getaway!

Wonderful gem in the heart of Catawba, VA. So close to great hiking trailheads and walking distance to The Homeplace for a hearty dinner (make a reservation on the weekends!) A fun and easy 35 minute drive to Blacksburg and Virginia Tech. The cabin was extremely comfortable and well appointed. Plenty of room for a mom and three teenage boys to hang out together and separately. We enjoyed watching movies, playing games, and gathering around the firepit. The boys walked back to the cabin from the McAfee Knob trail while I enjoyed a visit to Beliveau Farm Winery (gorgeous settling and lovely wines). This VRBO is a very good financial deal for a short or long stay. Hunter was quick and helpful with his communications. Highly recommend!

Lovely Cabin

We had a great stay at this cabin while mountain biking and hiking in the area. It had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the atmosphere quiet. The location was 10 minutes from every where we needed to go. I would definitely recommend ot!

Cozy cabin in convenient location

Nicely renovated old home with thoughtful small touches throughout! Very convenient to popular hiking trails. The trailhead of a connector to the Appalachian Trail and McAffee Knob is within a 5 minute walk. Also an easy drive into Roanoke/Salem for shopping and entertainment. We plan to stay here again the next time we're in the area. A great little gem!

It was close to McAfee Knob, Tinker Cliffs & Dragon's Head trailheads. Loved the charm of the updated 1940's cottage (all modern conveniences). Easy scenic drives in all directions. Great coffee & food: Sycamore Station, Salem & Lemon & Vale Cakery, New Castle. See covered bridges near Newport & Dismal Falls. Easy scenic drive to Beartown Park, West Virginia, with awesome boardwalk thru stunning rock formations.

Hiking Haven

Cozy, neat and perfect location for recent AT section hike. Great for slack packing days around McAfee Knob and Dragon’s Tooth trail attractions. Playground in town was perfect for the grandkids play time. Close enough to enjoy the amenities of Daleville, Troutville and Roanoke. Only detractions were the lack of immediate food options in Catawba and the obstructive view of the oncoming traffic from the driveway.

Peace and Quiet in the Catawba Valley

We had a lovely month in what we called our little country house. It was far from rustic, with a lovely modern kitchen ad bathroom, attractive decor, and a wonderful yard which our dog, Max, loved. We were only about 20 minutes from downtown Roanoke and even closer to Salem. All in all we had a lovely time in the Catawba Valley.

Perfect Place Near Virginia's Triple Crown

This house was perfect for our stay in Catawba. Some of us were hiking the nearby Appalachian Trail/Virginia Triple Crown. Some of us day hiked to Dragon's Tooth. The house was scrupulously clean and modern. So wonderfully quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and had a really nice knife set, making cooking so much easier. The beds, sofa, and chairs were very comfortable. The house was well stocked with soap, detergent, towels, etc. Very dog friendly. Outdoor spaces like the porch and fire pit were perfect. All of us including the dog loved it.
