They have anything and everything you might need for your stay. Saw a deer and groundhog there. Grounds were beautifully kept. Would stay again. ##### Brenda Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer T. 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful cottage retreat for late summer We had a wonderful stay here for a few days during the week that we were moving our daughter into college at VT. The cottage feels remote but is less than 10 minutes to grocery shopping and restaurants in Daleville, 20 minutes to downtown Roanoke, and 45 minutes to Blacksburg. We loved the garden and gazebo area. Kitchen and baths were nice, bedrooms were comfortable, and AC/temperature control worked well. The Wifi is a bit slow for work purposes but worked fine for video streaming. There is a trail from the cottage to the AT, but it needs some clearing as we could not get past a fallen tree and other brush toward the end. Overall, I highly recommend staying here! ##### Jennifer T.

If I could give more stars I would! This has got to be one of the COOLEST places we've ever stayed. Very nicely appointed. Kitchen has all you need. Its true! You can pick right from the garden and fruit trees. We had eggplant, tomatoes and rosemary from the garden. Pears and figs from the trees. We hiked along the Appalachian Trail! The deer meander through the property all day. They love the Asian pears falling from the tree right now. In the evenings we would sit on the back porch and the deer would just hang out. We saw lightening bugs! Haven't seen them in years. We would recommend this place to everyone who loves a stay in the country but its close to stores etc. Husband very impressed that the gas grill had adequate gas and worked properly for two meals. ##### Lisa G.

Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Judy B. 29 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### The Cottage Once you get to the property, the grounds are beautiful, pet friendly (dogs only). It is a very peaceful setting and the cottage is ideal for relaxation . Ants were bothersome but it did not deter our activities. I would consider returning again. ##### Judy B.
