Beautiful home set in a quiet neighborhood. The views of the hills from the front porch rocking chairs is very relaxing. The house had everything you would need and then some!! Loved the Hokie decor (Go Hokies). Our host was very responsive and the check in / check out was a breeze. We were in town for a family wedding, and Alum Ridge gave us the perfect escape from the wedding chaos! Thx Pat!!
House was in exceptional condition (new.) very clean and well stocked with all we needed. Perfect house for a family get together givens its open floor plan. Views were excellent also. Highly recommend it and would stay there again.
Beautiful location, beautiful house! Well stocked kitchen, luxurious towels. My personal favorite was the porch and deck, lots of comfortable inviting areas to enjoy coffee or sip wine.
Beautiful place very peaceful. Would stay again and plan to stay again the next time I’m in the area. House is very good at communication. Highly recommend.
We were traveling into the area to attend the Virginia Tech commencement ceremonies. This was a fantastic find. Close enough to attend the events, but far enough to avoid the congestion in Blacksburg during this busy time of the year. When our usual dog sitter was unavailable, this allowed us to bring them along with us and they settled right in as well. We loved everything about the location and would highly recommend it to anyone considering traveling to the area.
The property was stunning. Beautiful setting, updated and well maintained interior and lots of space for a family.
