Check in was a breeze and the property was perfect for me, my brother and friends visit with our nephew at Va Tech. The place was super clean and comfortable. The 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths were all very nice. Jennifer was a great hostess. We look forward to staying there again

VT Graduation House
We stayed at this home for our child's graduation from Virginia Tech in 2025. The house was a great location in Radford close to many restaurants and Radford University. It was an easy 20-25 minute drive to Blacksburg. With three bedrooms and three and a half baths, it was a perfect size for all of the relatives we had with us. The kitchen had everything we needed. The family room and kitchen had seating for all of us. This was an economical and comfortable alternative to more expensive hotels in Blacksburg.

New River Gem
I was lucky to find this gem when my parents decided to join us for our daughter’s graduation from VT. This was a wonderful home, it is new and well appointed. Our party found the home very comfortable and it met all our needs for our celebration. It was easily accessible to VT with a fair price point. The host was very communicative and answered all our questions just an overall wonderful experience! Thank you for being part of our graduation celebration, highly recommended

Dog friendly home near Va Tech
Very clean and new. It was super quiet! We appreciated it being dog friendly for our little poodle. I would have given it all 5 stars but we found the lock/unlock system that uses a cell phone stressful.
It was a great find though and thanks to the owners.
