Quiet Woodland Retreat, only 15 minutes from Blacksburg!
This cozy, comfortable cabin, the Creek House, is the perfect home base getaway for your trip to Blacksburg. The 12 acre property backs up to the Jefferson National Forest and includes beautiful mossy trails for hiking, and abundant opportunities to see wildlife. A large screened in porch with rocking chairs and tables for meals, decks overlooking the seasonal creek, a great fire pit, and special places to rest and relax make the Creek House a heavenly respite from football madness or graduation crowds. Parents can give their kids a woodland adventure away from screens, or their Virginia Tech student a break from stressful campus life. Those longing for quiet and privacy in a beautiful mountain setting will find it ideal. And all only 15 minutes away from North Main Street in Blacksburg! Guests will find a well equipped kitchen with range, refrigerator, and microwave for stay at home meals, coffee maker, blender, toaster, and electric kettle. There are four comfortable bedrooms - one with queen, one with full, one with twin, and one with full and twin beds, and two bathrooms - one with tub and one with shower. Sheets and towels are provided. A tv monitor and blue ray DVD player are featured in the large living room for movie watching, however, over the air tv broadcasts, and high speed internet are not available in this rural setting. Cell reception can be spotty with some carriers - text messaging usually works well. Vintage toys, games, puzzles, and lots of books are available for guests to enjoy. A wall mounted heat pump provides heat and air conditioning; additional fans and baseboard heat are available in each bedroom. Owners live right next door and are available if needed. Once you experience a restorative stay at the Creek House, you will want to return again and again. If you are interested in renting the Creek House on days that are currently blocked, please contact the owners.

About the host
Hosted by Cynthia Roberts Pitonyak
David and Cyndi are retired now after long careers in the field of disability supports and education. They have lived right next to this property for over 40 years. David has created all the beautiful hiking trails you will see. The Creek House is truly a special place, and we are delighted to share it with others who will enjoy it as much as our family does!
Why they chose this property
Nestled against the Jefferson National Forest, the Creek House provides quiet and privacy in a truly beautiful woodland setting. All sorts of animals and birds share these woods. In the spring, the woods are full of mountain laurel, rhododendron, dogwood, redbuds, and flame azaleas. The setting feels truly remote, but the road on which the property is located goes straight to Main Street in Blacksburg - only a 15 minute drive. David and Cyndi have a garden on the property.
What makes this property unique
In addition to beauty and quiet, mossy hiking trails created by David weave through the property, along the creek, and up into the National Forest. The huge screen porch is another very special feature, a delightful place for a morning cup of coffee, a chat among friends, or a meal outside. When the creek is high, the sound is so relaxing and sitting out on the decks watching the water is lovely. There is a large open field in front of the house, and cots are available on request for star gazing. All of this such a short distance from Blacksburg!
