About this property
The River House Close to Everything
* We are activally cleaning and sanitizing this rental with extra sanitation methods with each stay.
The River House is an adorable place to stay right on the Roanoke River and Roanoke Green Way. Rent bikes 500 feet from the house, walk to downtown, float the river with tubes, kayaks, paddle boards, or canoe rentals available! So much to do in Roanoke and you are in the heart of it!
A 100 foot high star atop a mountain and visible from miles around welcomes you to the "Star City of the South," a great beginning for your weekend getaway to this city rich in culture, history, fun, and entertainment. Close to the star is the Mill Mountain Zoo, where you'll see the endangered Snow Leopard, Amur Tiger and Red Wolf, along with 40-plus other animal species. The Center in the Square is the city's cultural hub, where you can catch a Broadway-quality show at the Mill Mountain Theater or hear the celebrated Roanoke Symphony. Museums are everywhere, and whether your interest lies in art, history, science or transportation, you'll find a museum to match it.
Virginia’s Blue Ridge is home to an impressive collection of locally-produced craft beer, wine, and spirits. Our setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains makes it an ideal location for growing grapes, as well as producing outstanding craft beer with the rich water sources in streams and rivers that flow through the mountains.
There's something to keep you occupied and entertained every minute in this environmentally-conscious, friendly and very welcoming Virginia city.

Great location! Enjoyed walking the greenway with easy access to coffee shops and restaurants! Loved the close proximity to the Roanoke star and downtown! The kitchen was nicely stocked and the living spaces were comfortable. Would recommend!
We had a great stay at the River House. It was conveniently located for us, and met our needs well. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to stay in Roanoke.
Our Stay was great. Home was close to many attractions.Two suggestions:!. Doors to the basement bedroom need to be reinstalled for privacy.2. Better lighting in the living room.
Great property near the river. Walking distance to Starr brewing and Blue Cow Ice Cream. Great location for hiking in the Roanoke area. Would stay here again!
Great spot. The only drawback was that the edges of the carpet in living room are very slippery. But that’s as easy fix. Good place, good hosts. Would stay again
Everything was perfect and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything including k cups from a previous guest. Live music on the river the weekend we were there. I was glad to be forewarned the rug was slippery but 91 yo mom did fine.
We had such a lovely time staying in the house! Everything was clean well thought out. We even got a couple of “free concerts“with the venue that was right across the river. We sat out on the back patio and got to listen both Friday and Saturday night.
The River house was fresh, updated, clean and comfortable. Very convenient (1-mile) to everything in downtown Roanoke. If / when we go back I would definitely stay at the River house.
We absolutely loved this VRBO! There's so much to do within walking distance in every direction. The house is also very cozy and quiet. We really enjoyed our time there and highly recommend this one :-)
Wonderful stay. We had a graduation at VT, and while Roanoke is 45 min drive, quite a lot of people stay there because it is just easier and less crowded. Property was very clean, beds and linens super comfortable. Didn't get to use outside space because we were so busy. Lovely stay.
