About this property

Quaint Cottage Located 15 Miles From Blacksburg VA

The cottage has spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors, original plaster walls & a kitchen island made from early 1900 2ft wide boards. Both sofas fold out into beds for extra accommodations. It sits near the New River and the Norfolk & Western railway and, as such, the train is active and passes by several times a night, please be aware of the potential for train noise.

The cottage is not suitable for large groups or parties.

There is a stove with oven, a microwave and toaster, a refrigerator, cookware, plates, cups, glassware and silverware.

All bedding and towels are provided.

We have Smart TV locally made soap and locally roasted coffee. We provide ear plugs for guests who prefer not to hear the train.

The cottage is located next to The Palisades Restaurant in an old resort village which was once a thriving destination and a stop on the N & W Railroad. A destination once again, the village is coming back to life with an award winning restaurant, artisan shop and now lodging.

As an added service, we guarantee dinner reservations at The Palisades Restaurant for guests. Please request reservations for the day, time and number of guests at the time of booking. Reservations requests cannot be guaranteed last minute.

No public transportation exists.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

A charming cottage. Definitely close to the train track but we read the reviews so we were prepared. It does get loud but after a great dinner and bottle of wine at the Palisades restaurant next door you don’t mind so much. A great alternative to the overpriced hotels in Blacksburg during football season. Host was amazing!

Gorgeous Starlit Cottage

The cottage is as described, comfortable and big. The train is a bit noisy but earplugs do the trick - shower hot, excellent pressure, and extraordinary stars on a clear night. Absolutely would stay again. Thank you, Shaena!

Rooms were clean. Beds are very squeaky. TRAIN NOISE ALL NIGHT. Couch beds are very old and worn out. Light switches should be labeled in such an old house.

Great stay next to the best restaurant!

This was definitely a fun stay in a cool old house! The Palisades restaurant next door was outstanding. This Florida girl had a rough time with the curvy roads going up the mountain, but well worth it. We loved watching the trains go by and I slept through the night without a problem!

The house was adorable and very clean. The trains did wake us up but it added to the charm of the cute cottage. You have to eat at the Palisades restaurant next door.

Traveling to WV for a wedding and my mother took me to Palasades several years ago as it was a favorite of she and her late husband. When I saw the cottage was available I booked it. Loved everything about it - especially the trains. Loved being back in the mountains!!

Journey home

The property was very comfortable and the host was very helpful (a special thank you to Alicia for stepping in and being so helpful). As mentioned by others, there are trains that go by the back porch several times a day both day and night. We didn't mind it. Thanks again for a safe and comfortable stay.

Unfortunately, this was not a good experience. We booked for three nights, but were so put off by the condition of the property and lack of accuracy in the description, we terminated after the first night. Resolution was swift and appropriate. One can only assume the property owner has not been on site in some time. One also wonders how this could have been rented out in the first place.
