Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the clean and well-furnished space and found the location perfect for your mountain adventures. We’d be happy to host you again anytime!
This property is a very convenient location to Roanoke and Salem, but is secluded enough you are away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. The property has been lovingly restored and has all modern amenities. Property manager was responsive and check-in was super easy. Great little mountain getaway!
We had a great stay at this cabin while mountain biking and hiking in the area. It had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the atmosphere quiet. The location was 10 minutes from every where we needed to go. I would definitely recommend ot!
Nicely renovated old home with thoughtful small touches throughout! Very convenient to popular hiking trails. The trailhead of a connector to the Appalachian Trail and McAffee Knob is within a 5 minute walk. Also an easy drive into Roanoke/Salem for shopping and entertainment.
We plan to stay here again the next time we're in the area. A great little gem!

It was close to McAfee Knob, Tinker Cliffs & Dragon's Head trailheads. Loved the charm of the updated 1940's cottage (all modern conveniences). Easy scenic drives in all directions. Great coffee & food: Sycamore Station, Salem & Lemon & Vale Cakery, New Castle. See covered bridges near Newport & Dismal Falls. Easy scenic drive to Beartown Park, West Virginia, with awesome boardwalk thru stunning rock formations.
Cozy, neat and perfect location for recent AT section hike. Great for slack packing days around McAfee Knob and Dragon’s Tooth trail attractions. Playground in town was perfect for the grandkids play time. Close enough to enjoy the amenities of Daleville, Troutville and Roanoke. Only detractions were the lack of immediate food options in Catawba and the obstructive view of the oncoming traffic from the driveway.
We had a lovely month in what we called our little country house. It was far from rustic, with a lovely modern kitchen ad bathroom, attractive decor, and a wonderful yard which our dog, Max, loved. We were only about 20 minutes from downtown Roanoke and even closer to Salem. All in all we had a lovely time in the Catawba Valley.
This house was perfect for our stay in Catawba. Some of us were hiking the nearby Appalachian Trail/Virginia Triple Crown. Some of us day hiked to Dragon's Tooth. The house was scrupulously clean and modern. So wonderfully quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and had a really nice knife set, making cooking so much easier. The beds, sofa, and chairs were very comfortable. The house was well stocked with soap, detergent, towels, etc. Very dog friendly. Outdoor spaces like the porch and fire pit were perfect. All of us including the dog loved it.
The kitchen was well equipped and they had pet blankets available to go over the furniture. We bring our own, but it was nice to have extra available. Our host was very responsive and overall we had a pleasant stay.

Being a host gives me immense pleasure, as it allows me to share a piece of my hometown with travelers like you and ensures you experience the genuine warmth and charm of Roanoke. Can't wait to welcome you!"
Why they chose this property
Choosing to buy a cabin in Catawba, Virginia, was a decision rooted in both nostalgia and nature. Catawba, with its lush landscapes and serene environment, has always been a haven for me.

Purchasing a cabin there felt like securing a piece of untouched beauty, a personal retreat where time seems to stand still, and every visit feels like a rejuvenating escape.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets our cabin apart is its harmonious blend of rustic charm and nature's bounty. As you step outside, you're greeted by our friendly goats grazing in the back field, adding a touch of pastoral magic to the setting.
