Historic Farmhouse|5 acres|Hot Tub| Parkway Access
Summary:
Welcome to your serene escape in the Blue Ridge Mountains! This beautifully updated 4-bedroom farmhouse sits on five private acres, just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and downtown Roanoke. Enjoy the charm of a historic home paired with modern comforts.
Wake up to mountain views, sip your morning coffee on the porch, and relax under the stars in the private hot tub. It’s the perfect retreat for those seeking peace, nature, and a touch of history in Virginia’s scenic highlands.
The Space:
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!
Guest Access:
Guests have use of the entire house.
Other Things to Note:
Events are allowed, please contact us for details before booking.
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.
Interaction with Guests:
We keep it easy and provide 24-hour contact-less check in with keyless entry. We live in Roanoke so we're a short drive away if needed.
