We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was beautiful, comfortable, very clean, and the owners provided everything we needed and more. We were in town for family weekend at Roanoke College and the location was perfect. We would love to stay here again next time we are in town.

I absolutely loved the home. It was beautifully decorated and very well stocked for any issue. Our only issue were the beds. They were very uncomfortable. Otherwise, it was a dream vacation.

Star City Gem near Trailhead
We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed to cook our meals. The back screened porch was an extra gathering area to hang out and talk about the highlights of plays after we got in from our softball tournament. This area was also equipped with a big screened TV. It was really nice. The house was very clean and well decorated. We will definitely consider staying again

Amazing Retreat
This Vrbo rental was a true gem! We were incredibly impressed by the beautiful, spacious rooms and awesome master suite. The lovely grounds and outdoor space added to the charm and the location was perfect. One of us did not have hot water when it was needed but the host responded immediately and resolved the issue. A fantastic stay overall.
