We were visiting our grandson in Daleville. The VRBO provided us with a very enjoyable stay. The only thing that we would suggest is adding grab bars to the shower. We are 70, and the tub is difficult to get in and out of.

Stayed in Salem right outside of Ranoke for the USA finals National Mnt Biking races for 2025. Location was quiet, clean, modern, nice small cottage set up for family of 4. Good sized front yard area for yard games. Beautiful rose bushes on side of house that had lots of birds and bees visit. Close enough to hiking or biking trails near by via short drive and just far enough away from city to have a quite outside of Ranoke city area.It was too hot for us to use the bonfire but did enjoy the front large covered porch with rocking chairs in early mornings and evenings. Even sat out on porch while it rained. Liked that there was on site washer and dryer to use for dirty clothes post muddy biking. Outdoor water hose available to wash off the bicycles post ride as well. Definitely would stay there again.

Great stay

Had a great stay in Roanoke. It’s minutes away from the Mcafee Knob trailhead and 20 mins from Roanoke, VA. The property was great, chrck-in process was pretty smooth, and ample space to park 2 cars. There is also a firepit and we were graciously provided with firewood and some smores which we enjoyed after a day hike. I would definitely book again if I am back in this area.

Great property and location

We loved the cottage. A great place and accommodations that we would return to. 2 mile drive to McAfee parking lot and 20 minutes to Roanoke. Decor and vibe is calming. It’s really clean, and well supplied.

Very nice property and close to all of our daily excursion. For the 3 rating on cleanness the outdoor furniture very dirty. Needed a good cleaning before able to use. The front and back. Also, all of the guests were the age of 65 and up and some grab rail in the shower would be nice and a mat for the tub. Please consider better quality of toilet paper.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Extremely clean, perfect location, Loved the fire pit! We ate at the new place 3miles down the road called Hanging Rock Tavern, highly suggest them! And hiked McAfee Knob, which every single step was worth the view at the top. Would absolutely stay again

Great Stay for Roanoke Graduation

The cabin was a great location for a graduation at Roanoke College. The fully stocked kitchen helped us have meals at the cabin instead of eating out. Everything was as advertised! We plan to come back again!

Heaven at the Foot of the Mountain

This was the perfect location to hike Virginia's Triple Crown. We were also very close to Carvin's Cove and Roanoke. Everything was updated and very clean. Great atmosphere too! We had a campfire almost every night with the wood that was provided to us. Sat in the rocking chairs on the front porch. Would stay here again! Highly recommend. Youtubers- Our Next Trail

Beautifully updated home with modern amenities, very nicely decorated and well stocked.

The property was beautiful with an amazing back patio and fire pit (although we didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit) it is something we will use next time. Very nicely decorated with new clean furnishings and the s’mores were a nice touch. This is a bit off the beaten path at first but then you get to enjoy the beauty of the birds singing in the mornings. There is also an amazing breakfast place just in town of Salem called Salem diner that serves amazing breakfast, recommend the eggs and biscuits with gravy. I’ve eaten at a lot of places in all my travels and probably the best biscuits and gravy I can remember. We enjoyed our stay and will book again.

Great get away!

This cozy cottage was a great get away! Close to expressway for getting around but still plenty of distance for quite time with a wooded tree line in the back and an attractive front porch for morning coffee. We were 2 adults + 2 teens for a softball tournament. Don’t rely on the couch for sleeping, it would be better to bring an air mattress. Definitely would stay again!!!
