My wife & I spent a week at this property to hike in Carvins Cove & the surrounding mountains. We loved the quiet, secluded location with hiking (& mountain biking / horse) trails right at the end of the driveway. Access points to the AT, grocery stores, restaurants & downtown Roanoke are all nearby. While this is an older home, it is comfortably furnished & everything worked well. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The owner (Emily) was very helpful & always responsive to our inquires. Cell service is spotty, but the Wi-Fi worked well. It would have been nice to have a functional fireplace for our winter visit, but other than that, the house was perfect for us.
