Glamping, Goats & Pool Mountainside NEAR Va Tech, RU, AT & I81, pet friendly
The Roam Inn delivers Boho Glamping & Farm-Fun adventures at Big Cedars Farm. This camper travelled the Oregon Trail...yep, toured it, AND was featured on a blog...before she was set here-- nestled on the plateau we call Billy Goat Bluff. A "Tiny House" original, your memorable stay includes: friendly animal interactions, morning sunrises from our updated 1959 Dalton "Canned Ham," breathtaking views from the outdoor kitchen, electricity, water and even a hot shower at the hobbit-styled privy. Just 20 min from the AT, 5 miles from downtown Blacksburg and as short drive thru the historic Ellett Valley farmland from Christiansburg and Radford.
A memorable stay awaits at this one-of-a-kinds glamping escape in a 1959 Dalton Canned Ham Camper. Watch your head... it's not for tall people without a bit of ducking-- but it is the perfect spot to get away and experience nature without all the hassles of traditional camping.
The Roam Inn is one of 3 offerings we feature at Big Cedars Farm.
The land we call Big Cedars farm has been owned by my family since the 1940's. At one point my grandfather actually owned the entire mountain. We are just minutes from town located in historically protected region of Ellett Valley and just minutes from downtown Blacksburg and Virginia Tech. It's the perfect spot to be "near town" yet embrace nature and the surrounding valley mountains
Located on back-side of Blacksburg Mountain, along Mossyspring Creek overlooking Paris Mountain, this 5 acres farm features opportunities for private events, memorable hospitality experiences, stunning views, a relaxing retreat and farm adventures abound.
Each hospitality space on the farm is different...
The RoamINN is cute and quaint-- great for those who like to be cozy.
For more traditional accommodations try The Wandering Goat Lodge. The lodge sleeps 6 and can accommodate more upon request in the 1,740 sq ft PRIVATE access 2 bedroom, 1 bath + Sleeper sofa lower apartment. There is plenty of space for air mattresses and room to entertain inside around the bar and full kitchen.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi.
