About this property

Blue Ridge Farmhouse near Roanoke

Welcome to The Farm! This is a fully restored 4-bedroom farmhouse in a park-like setting.

With 3 queen beds, 1 bunk bed, and 1 twin bed, this house sleeps up to 9 but is still cozy enough for two. The main level has a large kitchen-dining area overlooking the backyard and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are large antique windows throughout the house with beautiful light and views of the yard and farm from every window. While you will see plenty of deer, you won't see any neighbors!

As you come in the back door, you will enter the large mud room, with plenty of space to drop off your things off and get situated. The kitchen/dining room and the powder room are both right off the mud room, so you have easy access to and from the kitchen if you are grilling outside or need to unload the car.

In the kitchen you'll find a full size refrigerator, range, dishwasher, buther block countertops and plenty of cabinet and counter space, including a coffee bar with a coffee grinder for that morning brew. The solid dining room table seats 6 comfortably and is also a great place to set up your laptop. You'll have beautiful views through the bay window into the backyard as well as views of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Going through the mud room, you will enter the den where there is a glass-top desk where you can also set up a laptop. The main bedroom is off this den. This main bedroom has a queen bed and its own bathroom with a full size shower.

Through the den, you will go into the living room where you can enjoy watching shows on the oversized couch. Through the living room and up the stairs are the other 3 bedrooms and bathroom. The 2nd and 3rd bedroom both have queen beds, ceiling fans and plenty of dresser space. The 4th bedroom (the triple bunk room) actually comes off of the 3rd bedroom, as was a common layout in houses of this era (used to be a bedroom/nursery).

Out back, there is abundant outdoor space with picnic tables, a propane grill, wood firepit and hot tub.

At the farm, you can relax in the evenings watching TV, soaking in the hot tub, watching the sun set over the back yard and roasting s’mores by the fire. There are board games & cards for the family to enjoy. The living room TV has a Nintendo Classic Edition with 30 games from the 80s and 90s. Relive the games from your childhood!

Whether you're inside the farmhouse or out back, you will enjoy the privacy of being in the woods. One thing that is unique about this property is that although the farmhouse is private and secluded, DoorDash still delivers here and Uber/Lyft will pickup and drop-off. Downtown Roanoke is just 10 minutes from your door and the Wal-Mart Supercenter is just 5 minutes away. It's remarkable how there's so much space, so close to Roanoke, yet so private. From the outdoor area, you cannot see any other houses and they cannot see (or hear) you either.

The hosts provide all toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, laundry detergent, shampoo, body wash, propane and firewood. The hot tub receives regular professional maintenance. There is a full size washer & dryer and high speed WiFi throughout the house.

We love dogs and your pets are welcome, but we all need to be responsible. Pets have an additional cleaning fee due to the size of the house and the extra cleaning needed. Pets are not allowed on furniture or beds and must be crated if left inside unattended. Pet fee covers cleaning, but not damage. There is a small fenced in yard for dogs to “do their business.” The rest of the property is large and unfenced so be please careful with dogs that will chase wildlife or have a tendency to run off.

This 100+ year old house and property was fully restored by the current owners and has been hosting guests since 2022. For groups over 9 people, the adjacent property is also available on VRBO at https://www.vrbo.com/4579691

Please note that the barn is accessed via a separate driveway and is not part of the stay. Owner may access the barn periodically during your stay. Due to the size of the property and need for ongoing outdoor maintenance there may be land and other exterior maintenance activities (mowing, driveway raking, clearing of brush, hot tub maintenance, trash pickup, etc.) during your time at the farm. This will only occur during normal daytime hours to minimize any impact on you. Due to the secluded nature of the property, there is a security camera outside at the back door and at the barn. We value your privacy, so none of the cameras view the outside recreation area (firepit, spa, picnic tables, porch swing). Per VRBO policy, there are no interior cameras.

Fabulous Time Away

We stayed at the Private Farmhouse while attending our son's college graduation. The home, property, and property manager were exceptional! We even had to adjust our stay and communication was prompt and generous with options. The property was immaculate and so beautiful. It is close to everything, quiet, and the views are amazing. We loved waking up to the view of the Blue Ridge mountains right outside the bedroom window! We highly recommend this property! You will not be disappointed with your stay and the hospitality.

Wonderful Getaway!

We've spent an extended weekend end of March at this charming farmhouse to celebrate a birthday and explore some mountain biking in the area. The house was super clean and very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable, only wished for some blinds or curtains in the upstairs bedrooms. Lovely farmhouse kitchen with a wonderful view out the bay window, perfect for birdwatching. I can only imagine how nice it will be when all the leaves on the trees are in. We did not use the hot tub but enjoyed the large outdoor space for grilling and sitting around a campfire. Highly recommended!

Loved the farm house

We were very pleased with the house and grounds. It is secluded, yet convenient to the Walmart. We were visiting family in cave springs who didn't have 4 extra bedrooms. Everything was as listed on the vrbo site. Like new appliances, plenty of mixing bowls and Tupperware. Well stocked, though we always bring our stuff anyway, just in case. We were 6 adults and had plenty of space. We cooked on the outside grill, used the picnic tables (I brought tablecloths), and hot tub. Great fun. We had a small cookout for a total of 10 adults and one child - plenty of seating at the picnic tables and plenty of parking for our seven cars. No complaints from any in our group about the beds- we all slept well. We took a walk out back when we had a little free time - nice sunny hill. Definitely would come back again.

A Lovely House and Great Location

My husband and I loved our stay here (and so did our dog)! The farmhouse had plenty of space both with number of rooms but also the common areas (kitchen, tv room, sitting room). The fenced in area was perfect for our dog too. We loved how close the house was in proximity to places we hiked, ate, and the antique stores explored. You could hardly hear the traffic on 220 which was great for a relaxing evening in the hot tub. Highly recommend!

Christmas in Roanoke

This property was PERFECT for our family get together over the Christmas holiday. The home was spacious, with a large and well-stocked kitchen. The location was also ideal. The Farm vibe felt very welcoming, and though we were all traveling, it actually felt like we had all come home for Christmas. The location makes you feel like you are out in the country, but it was still close to commerce when we needed to pick up groceries. The owner made our stay extra special by putting up a Christmas tree, complete with lights. The Farm will definitely be our home away from home whenever we are in Roanoke.

Great property and host!

The Farm was just wonderful! Just as described and backed up to the woods. Unfortunately our stay was cut short due to a power outage from Winter Storm Blair but we fell in love with the place. Peter was the absolute best host! We weren’t home at the time the power went out and Peter called us directly. He went above and beyond helping us. Going so far as to bring us a blanket we had left behind. I can’t say enough great things about the property and the host! It’s a wonderful place and we plan on going back in better weather!
