VT Graduation

The house was perfect for our family to celebrate our son’s graduation. It’s a quiet neighborhood close to town, the living space was great, and the bedrooms were very comfortable.

Wow! We were so impressed with both the host and the house. Thank you, Erika, for the warm welcome and wonderful accommodations. You really made me look like a hero to my friends for finding your place! The house was incredibly clean, everything was in great working order, and we appreciated that you left plenty of refrigerator space for us. Our friends could not stop raving about the fun decor and how perfectly the layout flowed for a group. The bedroom/bathroom setup suited us perfectly and we spent most of our time gathered in the kitchen, dining, and family rooms.

Great place to stay!

We had a great time when we stayed here for graduation! Location was great! Quiet subdivision. Very easy, short drive to Lane Stadium, Home was very clean and plenty of room for all of us. We bought groceries when we arrived in Blacksburg and ate all of our meals, except for 1 at the house. It was great just to relax and hang out with everyone. We spent one afternoon just playing board games. There were many on hand to choose from. Erika was super easy to work with. Highly recommend this home!

EXCELLENT from Booking to Check out

This house was amazing and the owners were gracious. Super clean and convenient location. We attended VT football game with friends and it was great. You can walk to the stadium if desired - it's about 1.25 miles (up hill on the way back) but very do-able. Location is perfect. The house is very well equipped. Would definitely stay here again for our next VT event.

Awesome Hokie House!

We had a wonderful time during our stay for VT parents weekend! The house is spacious with a very convenient location to campus. It was my son’s birthday too so we could celebrate with some friends and cookout on the deck which was wonderful for all. We hope to be back!

VT -Pitt Game at The Henry House

What an amazing time we spent at the Henry home! Ericka is wonderful and provides many warm touches to make our stay so comfortable! There were eleven of us with three grandkids who enjoyed running around! The view from the back deck is breathtaking especially at sunrise! Definitely a five star accommodation and plan to book in the future! Love, The Herman Family

The house was in a convenient location to downtown Blacksburg, clean, and big enough for a large group of friends visiting for a football weekend. Erika was wonderful to work with throughout the booking and check-in process.

The perfect place to stay with family and friends

Erika Henry is the BEST host EVER. Every step of the way she went above and beyond to make sure we had EVERYTHING that we needed. The house was a home away from home and there was more than enough for adults, children and Adult Children. The house was 5 min from campus and a beautiful neighborhood.
