Peaceful stay
This was our second stay at the cow house with our sheltie, Bear. I love that it is in the country, but only about 15 min from Blacksburg. We love to watch the cows walk through and drink from the river that runs just by the house. Beautiful views, sweet smells of the countryside, and wonderful accommodations. We will be back!

Beautiful and Relaxing!
Steele Cottage never disappoints! It was beautiful up there and the weather was gorgeous! We took a little walk up the mountain, ran into one of the neighbors and we talked about the land, the pipeline and the history of the cemetery we happened upon. The cottage is always cozy and clean. And, the Hokies won! Great visit!

Peaceful and cozy
Four adults and 3 teens stayed a couple nights at this cozy and peaceful home. Timely communications with host, well-stocked kitchen and bedrooms, clean furnishings, and plenty of elbow room both inside and (most definitely) outside. Enjoyed the quiet and scenic countryside yet only 15 minutes from Blacksburg - definitely would consider staying here again during our next visit.

Cozy Country Cottage
This was a great place to stay as we dropped off our Virginia Tech student for the start of the school year. Really close to town (20min) but felt like a totally different world, surrounded by a babbling brook, grazing cattle, and a farmer making hay bales. It was relaxing and wonderful. Perfect location to host a little BBQ for VT students, take advantage of the great outdoor surroundings, play some cornhole, drink good beverages and just enjoy the country life. The house is rustic, and in the middle of a cell dead zone, but that’s part of the charm. It comfortably sleeps 6-8 people and has a great fenced in backyard for a dog (which we took advantage of). We loved reading about Mr. and Mrs. Steele who built the house and farm and raised a large family in the process. Great American story! If you are looking for a true “out in the country” experience, and need to be close to VT, we definitely recommend this house.
