Beautiful cottage in an awesome location.

We came into town for a large volleyball tournament held at several locations in Roanoke. The cottage was wonderful and centrally located. There was plenty of room for our party to spread out. The beds were comfortable, which led to a great nights sleep. The owners were very helpful. I really have no complaints, it was perfect for our needs.

Welcoming cozy cottage with fabulous hospitality

Our family stayed during our son’s VT graduation weekend. The hospitality which included fresh baked bread, honey from the hives, and homemade goat milk soap was truly amazing. We loved the animals and beautiful grounds. All enhanced our special weekend to make it that much better. We plan to return to Bent Tree in the future.

Relaxing getaway with little ones

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. The accommodations were whimsical and beds were cozy. We loved being greeted by the animals each morning when we left, running around the yards, and playing in the tennis court. My children didn't want to leave! Everything that we needed to vacation with kids was provided, including books, toys, pack and play, & highchair. The owners were also great about checking on how we were doing throughout our stay.

Fantastic weekend!!

What a great girl’s weekend! Andre and Sonya are amazing hosts. The cottage was adorable, just as advertised, and well equipped. We enjoyed our daily chats with Andre and Sonya. They were so informative about the area and offered suggestions for food/activities. It was nice to be able to visit with the goats, and Sonya’s goat’s milk soap is a must have. We will definitely be back again!!

Excellent hospitality and top notch

We came to Roanoke/Salem for the Interstate Softball Tournament. We decided to rent a house vs. staying at a noisy hotel filled with ball players. We wanted to have a getaway that was relaxing. We were not disappointed. We were treated with fresh homemade bread and honey from their farm. They were very hospitable and a blessing to us during our stay. We would recommend their rental to all our friends!

Very cozy cottage

We enjoyed our stay and time in Roanoke. Sonya is a great host and was very responsive to the couple things we asked her about. She showed us around at check-in for safety items, locations of anything we might need, etc. She recommended eating at Montano's, and it was a great meal! The goats and miniature horses are very cute. We used the hot-tub. It's very nice, but it's at the main house where the hosts live, so they asked us to let them know when we wanted to use it. Not a problem to do that, just stating the process.

G E M Wonderful property inside and out

Very tranquil - tuck away just enough. Our host greeted us even we arrived quit late at 9PM. We were received with homemade bread and jam. The building property inside, plenty of room for the 4 of us. Separate from the main house. Inside is perfectly air conditioned. The side porch is a great place for morning and evening chill time. Outside, taking walks or runs are ideal. Interaction with ponies, goats and chickens of course are optional. If you are concern about farm smell, don't be. The animals are very clean and the property is extremely well managed. Lots of charm - let you experience this G E M on your own :D I would come back, CERTAINLY.

The Perfect Retreat!

The Bent Tree Cottage was the absolute perfect retreat for my niece and I to spend a bonding weekend together. She drove from TN and I drove from MD, meeting half-way at Sonya and Andre's cottage. From the very moment we each pulled up the long driveway we were in love! The property is gorgeous, the farm animals are adorable, and the hosts are incredibly attentive. The cottage is very tastefully decorated, comfortable and has all the amenities you could possibly think of - there was even a pizza cutter available for us! :) There wasn't a single thing we needed that wasn't available for us. We really enjoyed walks around the farm, petting the animals and eating fresh apples, figs, and grapes right off the vine! Oh, and the fresh baked bread and honey from the hives right there on the farm were such a nice treat! YUM! The fire pit was really cozy too. I look forward to returning for some more retreats with the girls and even a romantic retreat with my fiance. Thank you so much for everything, Sonya and Andre!

Slice of heaven in Roanoke

We had such a fabulous time staying at Sonya’s and Andre’s place! We were looking for a relaxing place to unwind and we found it. It felt like we were away, but we were close to everything. It was an easy trip into downtown and to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We especially enjoyed visiting with the animals each day and picking grapes and pears to snack on! They thought of everything - from a greeting including fresh bread and fig preserves to flashlights on all nightstands. The personal touches made such a difference! Sonya and Andre are as available as their guests would like. I would recommend chatting with them as they are both extremely personable, but if you prefer not to interact, I feel certain they honor that. I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Roanoke. We may make another trip just to stay at their place again!

Wow! A wonderful retreat, super close to town

Having traveled extensively, our family has experienced many accommodations and situations the world over, and this honestly might just take the cake! So many stays these days are not hosted, and it is super special to be welcomed by real humans. Sonya and André are incredibly gracious hosts and made our visit cozy and fun. The steaming hot, freshly-baked bread and the fresh, homemade preserves for it were such a kind touch. They are a lovely family, the farm is incredibly peaceful and beautiful, and the cottage is exceptionally well designed and outfitted. The animals who live there on the farm make it feel calm and welcoming, and this is a great place to actually spend time rather than just pop in to sleep at night. Speaking of sleep, the beds are very comfortable and restful. Our family was comfortable and wanted to stay longer. We are already scheming our next visit there! :)

Lovely farm stay feels like home

Sonyas place was just lovely; clean, well-cared for, filled with beautiful things. The grounds of their estate are manicured enough for your bare feet, and the animals are so sweet and friendly. Highly recommend this stay.

Wonderful Experience & Great Hospitality

We all really enjoyed our stay! This was our first experience with a vrbo and it was simply the best. From the homemade bread, homemade jam, and soaps made from their goats milk, we were just totally blown away. We were also taken back by the kindness that was extended to our small grandchildren with respect to feeding the miniature ponies and the goats; those smiles were priceless. The cottage was equipped with everything you could possibly need, and more. Thank you so much for your hospitality....hoping we get the opportunity to stay again in the future.

Perfect for a getaway!!

This was the perfect site for our sisters getaway- 4 40-something year old sisters had a blast relaxing, enjoying the baby goats, and Sonia and Andre themselves were a pleasure to interact with! They have thought of everything you might need so that when you arrive, you can truly relax. Everything was safe, clean and well provided. Would highly recommend!

Loved It Here!!

My friends and I had the BEST time here! We have already decided we will meet back up here in the future. There is so much to do that we figured we wouldn't even have to leave the property if we didn't want to. We actually ended up forgetting about all the outside games they had there, and we just sat around talking for hours. We also got to pet the mini horses, play with the goats, etc. We had such a fabulous time. Next time we are definitely staying longer as this trip was too short. I'm rather picky when it comes to places, but everything was clean and welcoming for us. Sonya and her husband were fabulous and I loved that they lived right on the property. Sonya baked us bread and they gave us some honey from their beehives. Such wonderful hosts. Thanks for everything!

Awesome!

What a wonderful property and unusual experience! This is a small, working farm that has miniature horses, goats, chickens, grape vines, fig trees, and more. The house is charming, very clean, and easily fit our family of 5 (including a 3 year old). The hosts, Sonya and Andre are very nice, helpful and great communicators. Sonya made sure we had everything we needed, which included a welcome gift of freshly baked bread and honey from their own bees. Andre took our 3 year old for a ride on the John Deere Gator! When we return to this area this is where we will stay!
