Our first time doing Airbnb and we had a great time. It was nice and clean. Enjoyed the view of the river. It just rain Friday and Saturday and we couldn't go into the river. But there's always next year. :) Thanks again!

The pictures of the river online looked amazing, and the actual location did not disappoint! The BEST spot on the river, nice shallow entry perfect for kids. Home was nicely remodeled and clean. You cannot beat the bang for your buck at this place. We will definitely be back!

My son and I stayed at Williams cabin on the river and absolutely loved it. We had such a wonderful time waking up in the morning to the sounds of the river and the trains. Quaint cabin with elevated views of the mountains. The large deck overlooking the river is where we ate all of our meals. William communicated with me and gave me all the details we needed for our stay. We are already planning another stay here for next year!

The smallmouth were biting on the river, wading out and fishing was a great pleasure. 30 Metals steps down to river with a rough concrete landing were fine for me, but my wife was not joining me on the riverbank. Make sure you arrive early enough in the summer to air out the cabin and eliminate some of the heat of the day before night falls. The fans worked great to bring a cooling breeze through. A great location with beautiful views. Lovely deck with a built in bottle opener. Fridge worked great and the water tasted good. A great fishing camp on a beautiful river. I would come back for a weekend of fishing and floating with the guys.

Good place to stay on the river. Be sure to bring towels and sheets.

This cabin is a wonderful retreat away from all of the hustle and bustle. A great location on the river with beautiful views and plenty of space for rest and relaxation. William has been an amazing host and quick to respond with any questions I had.

Great place on a great stretch of river, close to cascades, lots of fun.

Incredible spot on the river! The house was small but perfect for a group of 4! The land was great for campfires and playing with the dog! Steps led to the New River and we spent our day lounging in the river on tubes! It was a very peaceful spot! Only thing to note, there are two train tracks in the nearby vicinity, but it didn't bother us at all! If we return to Virginia we will definitely be back! Our thru hiker enjoyed his break from the trail!

Great place for a private getaway in the mountains/ on the river.

Lovely view of river. Very close to where we were working. Great for a family getaway.

Great space! The mountains were beautiful, the spot was easy to find, park, and everything was very clean. I recommend this to anyone passing through or staying in the area 5/5.

Right off the highway, not far from everything, very comfortable

Adriana was such a great host. Very fast communication and was flexible with our schedule. Her house was located about 30 mins from Virginia Tech. The house was so beautiful and clean. Definitely recommend!

The house was beautiful and perfect location to our wedding venue. Adriana was extremely helpful as well!

Nuestra familia vino de tres estados diferentes para asistir a un funeral. Esta era una casa perfecta para nosotros para usar como un lugar de reunión, lo que nos permite un espacio común para compartir y habitaciones privadas. El mobiliario es moderno y hasta la fecha los aparatos. Estaba limpio. Las camas eran cómodas. Esperamos volver para una ocasión más feliz pronto.

Adriana was great to work with. Place was roomy, comfortable, clean, as pictured and described. Short drive out to Va Tech and perfect for a day hike to Cascade Falls. A beautiful getaway. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was beautiful and well equipped. It was more than we could ask for and was more than adequate for our family's needs. Communication was easy and the host was quick to respond. She was delightful to work with and we would definitely rent the property again in the future!

Adriana is a super host; very responsive and thoughtful. Her spacious house can easily accommodate 7 people, and well-equipped with every thing you will need. Will definitely go back to this place.

Mr Hunter's cottage was an absolute delight. The house itself is the perfect blend of truly authentic olde world charm with just enough of the right modern conveniences, such as wifi, netflix, coffee maker, microwave, fully equipped kitchen, beautifully renovated bathroom, modern excellent quality clean linens and bedding (important!!!) and loads of good pillows so you can sit up comfortably in bed. The bed in the green suite is much firmer than the one in the blue suite, so if you have a bad neck/back/hip as I do you might want to go for the green suite. The bed in that room is really amazing - epic old wooden thing that made me feel like I was aboard a grand old ship :) There were heaps of different spaces to hang out in, both inside the cottage and around the porch. I interacted with staff from the restaurant as they went about their work, and they were delightful to meet. I had dinner a few times at the restaurant, some times with friends or by myself. My friends who are faculty at Tech and Duke and very worldly were super impressed with the atmosphere, service, food and wine list. The times when I dined at the bar by myself I had a great time interacting with the staff as it feels like a family atmosphere even though it is very professional. Aside from the cottage being super clean and comfortable, the best thing was being able to walk straight down to the river to paddle by the rapids, or walk a little further to a good swimming hole spot. When I found interesting old things (glass electrical insulators, old bits of crockery, bones) Shaena enjoyed seeing my finds as she delights in the history of the area. Every morning I woke to the sound of birds, clean air and blue skies. It was a beautiful place from which to work on my book and get stuck into nature to counteract the academic brain work and typing. If you have a car it's very easy to get from the cottage to Pembroke or Blacksburg via the 460 for services and farmer's markets etc (and the big Kroger on S Main in Blacksburg is excellent), and to all sorts of hikes and nature to explore. I love the Cascades!!! I noticed in some other reviews people complained about the smell of the dumpster out the back of the restaurant. I only noticed it on a couple of the warmer days and on those days if I wanted to sit outside I just went to the other side of the cottage, so I really didnt find it a problem at all. In fact the dumpster attracts black vultures and their antics were rather entertaining. I would certainly recommend this destination for anyone looking to nestle into the magic of Appalachia while having access to the "necessary" mod cons. thank you Shaena!

Shaena is a great host and we loved staying in her home. We arrived at 7pm and arranged dinner for 7:30pm at her restaurant next door called the Palisades. The home was clean, comfortable and quite. I love the sound of trains and horns and hearing the train come through made me feel like home. Earplugs are included for anyone not wanting to hear the occasional train. I would recommend staying at Shaena's place especially if dining at the Palisades restaurant which is excellent. Also if you plan on visiting Virginia Tech or hiking Cascade Falls which we did, it perfectly located.

Shaena's place is a beautiful cottage in a picturesque area of Virginia. There's plenty of outdoors activities nearby, hike to the Cascades waterfall and take a swim, or canoe/kayak down the New River. Shaena was a great host. She kept in touch about our arrival time and everything was setup when we got there. If you have the chance, make sure to get dinner at Shaena's restaurant next door- the Palisades. Everything we had there was tremendous.

Nice location inbetween hiking trails and Blacksburg. The place was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend going to the Palisades restaurant next door - really good! The only downside is that the train can be quite loud at night, but there are earplugs provided.

Kind hostess, beautiful location, and well kept lodging.

Great location for a getaway river trip. Food is wonderful at the palasaides restaurant. Trains go by the cottage several times at night and early morning. Host is thoughtful to leave earplugs by bedside table to help with the noise. The cottage is lovely, comfortable and cozy.

We really enjoyed our stay. Shaena was wonderful and welcoming - and was very flexible with us. It was lovely to have a fantastic meal at the Palisades Restaurant and then just walk next-door to the cottage and settle in. The interior of the cottage was 100% rustic charm and comfort. My only complaint is that the restaurant's dumpster next door was left open over night and throughout the next day, and that combined with the heat caused a powerful rotting meat smell to permeate the area - which made sitting outside on the lovely porch very unappealing.

We had a very wonderful stay here. The house is charming and comfortable and dinner and brunch at Shaena's restaurant (The Pallisades) was incredible. Came for my birthday and would do it all over again exactly the same way, and hopefully will sometime soon! Thanks for everything Shaena!

We had a great stay. Shaena was very welcoming and her restaurant next door has incredible food. The house is old with some minor leaks (I would guess it probably doesn't normally leak, but it just happened to be raining the entire weekend we were there). The bathrooms are new additions to the house and were nice and clean. A train does run right next to the house several times a night, so Shaena provides ear plugs for everyone who stays. With the earplugs in I slept fine. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I would stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience and one of our best so far with AirBnB. Shaena was so responsive, flexible, and friendly. The house is beautiful and we had a fantastic brunch the next morning at The Palisades. We are already planning our next stay. Would highly recommend for Virginia Tech alumni or visitors who want to explore a little out of Blacksburg.

If you are looking for a romantic getaway, this is a must go place. Starting from the experience at the Inn to everything that the town offers to relax and enjoy a weekend stress free. About the Inn- so beautiful, very clean and the views are amazing. The host Jeanne and her team does a great job of maintaining such a gorgeous place and also gave us some great suggestions around the town. We totally loved our stay. Thank you for being an amazing host.

Lisa's guest house provided the perfect place for our family to meet up prior to the kickoff of the college football season at Virginia Tech. We're looking for staying again in the future. Communication throughout our rental was perfect ... a flawless transaction!

Very comfortable and in a beautiful location. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a place convenient to VA Tech and Blacksburg.

We were very happy with our stay. After a long ride it was so wonderful to sleep in a cozy comfy bed. The kitchen was large enough to cook a big meal for the family. We were close enough to Virginia Tech to catch the game on Friday night. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful. We would stay again. Thanks to our host Lisa!

We were there to visit our Southbound through hikers on the Appalachian Trail and to give them a break from the trail for a weekend. This was the perfect location in a very quiet and peaceful area while convenient to the AT. The hikers gave us a list of criteria they wanted for a cabin that included wi-fi, a bed for each of them and a good TV. Thankfully, we met their expectations. We met Lisa & Ron upon arrival and they were very gracious host offering whatever we needed. We would definitely stay again.

We very much enjoyed our weekend away at Doe Creek. The location was excellent, close to Va Tech so we could spend time with our college student. House was clean and had everything we needed- tv with cable a plus so we could watch football games. Happy to see the washer dryer as well and surprised to see laundry soap and amenities- - nice touch! The hosts were warm and welcoming, and made sure we were comfortable . We will return and hope to bring a bigger group! Thanks for a relaxing weekend!

My family and I stayed at this house for a wedding and it was absolutely perfect for us! The setting is very quiet which was great for us as we had our dogs with us and they enjoy quiet places. The wedding was at Doe Creek Farm which is a mile or less from the house. Some others stayed at the Mountain Lake Lodge which about 2 miles from this house so we were all close for the fun wedding festivities! We arrived to a spotless home away from home. Perfect location if we have to travel to this area again we can only hope this gem is available. BLG

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This is a great location. It's a little bit out of town but only a 20 minute drive back to Blacksburg. It's convenient to the Cascades and Mountain Lake. House is well-kept and perfect for one family with kids. Our kids are already asking to go back.

Thank you Kelley for welcoming me into your home. It was just what I needed after a long day on the bicycle. A hot shower, a comfy bed, a nice view and air conditioning.

Full disclosure- I didn't actually STAY in the cozy camper. I arrived and promptly left to get a hotel room. Chase's preferred method of communication prior to check in was voice calls. So I had no detailed information on how to check in. Even though I had asked him to send me some directional things to me in a message that he had given me verbally over the phone) It was very late when we arrived and it was pouring down rain. The driveway and GPS don't line up perfectly and the roads leading in felt especially treacherous (maybe due to the heavy rain). When we got there the camper was as expected (very small, rustic, nothing fancy) but we had ZERO cell service and NO WIFI. The listing says that there is internet connection so that felt misleading to me. Also note- Verizon is the ONLY carrier that has a signal up there! We did not have verizon and that was a deal breaker for us since we had left our young daughter back home with a family member. There was no way I could be completely cut off from any potential communication with my child. I never would have booked the camper had I known this in advance. We couldn't even get in touch with Chase to let him know that we were having these problems until after we had gotten back in the car and drove for miles to get a signal. At that point it was midnight and we were getting a hotel. Chase tried to provide solutions the next morning but they were not realistic and he was very rude to my husband. I can't say that you shouldn't book this place for yourself because it's a great location and I'm sure it would have been very fun if we were ok with no outside communication.

Chase never disappoints and is always there if you need anything. Thanks for a great weekend.

The host canceled this reservation 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Chase is a gracious host. Very welcoming. His knowledge of the area and willingness to share suggestions on things to do and see in the area were very helpful. A great spot on the river. A quiet getaway. Even the trains were fun to watch. One had 177 cars! Longest we have seen to date. Chase makes this a place to enjoy.

Beautiful spot on the river. Camper was nicer than expected with plenty of hot water for the shower! Great location for our informal college reunion. There will be trains coming by on both sides of the river, but I considered it a minor inconvenience while sleeping and a bonus when awake (we all like trains). Would definitely rent again. Chase is a great host.

Superb. Just wonderful. Our host, Chase, greeted us with stories, a hand-drawn map of the area, and Cocoa-- that is, his super cute toy poodle. In addition to a cozy camper, complete with indoor and outdoor shower, blender, toaster, gas stove, fridge, freezer, headlamps....the list goes on...the property itself rests a hundred yards from a beautiful river. Chase and cocoa led us to a storage unit, within which were several inner tubes, life-jackets, and kindling for fires. I would absolutely recommend this property to any adventurous travelers looking to escape to the mountains for some time (while we were there, we finished an album). The only con-- train noise! Depending on your sensitivity and/or proclivities, this could be quite irritating, or... but another part of the experience.

This location is awesome! Right next to The New River. My sons fished in the river and we floated the rapids about 15 times. Super fun! Chase is a great host and was there to greet us even though it was 10pm when we arrived. He let us borrow his floating tubes, and gave us suggestions on where to float the river. The only down side would be the trains. Chase gave us earplugs in case we needed them. I used them every night and slept fine. My husband and kids didn't use them and also slept just fine. So overall great time.

Lee was an excellent host, who made sure that we had everything that we could possibly need. The location was beautiful, with the New River literally in the back yard. My son spent the entire time fishing in the river, while my husband and I cooked out, relaxed, and enjoyed the view. We look forward to staying again!

Thank you for the opportunity to have a great fishing weekend getaway!

Renting Honey Hill Cottage was my first experience through Airbnb and it was of first class. The communications with Melissa and Scott was excellent. The house was beautiful, clean, open outside area and spectacular view and so private. Filled with amenities which made which made are stay very comfortable. Even if we had brought our own coffee, detergent etc it felt so caring to find that they offered such in the house. Our first impression was that we hit jack pot and that impression lasted our whole stay. It was hard to leave. If i go back to that part of Virginia I would rent it again. Thanks Melissa and Scott.

We really enjoyed staying at the cottage. During our stay, we saw wild deer, which was fun, too. I also loved how convenient it was to get there. I highly recommend staying here.

The place is extremely clean and very quiet. The house itself was gorgeous on the inside (as well as the outside) and spacious. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets and towels smelled fresh and clean. I was very impressed overall and would recommend to anyone who wants a great stay right outside of Blacksburg!

The listing descriptions was very accurate, also, the back has a great overlook deck built for a view of the big creek below. Extremely convenient to Blacksburg via highway 460 in a quiet neighborhood. Alec recommended a restaurant in near by Eggleston and it was great. We will return!

Alec was pleasant and welcoming. The place was exactly as advertised - clean and comfortable. A great location convenient to the VA Tech area. Nice!

This quiet hideaway is just what I needed to stay close to family in Blacksburg but a short drive away from student life. The house is surrounded by quiet lanes and walks to historic covered bridges and is 5 minutes drive to the Poverty Creek hiking network. A great place to be close to nature and the town!

I had a wonderful stay. They were both very nice and if I ever need to stay in the area again I would stay with them if possible.

My stay was very nice. Met Alec upon arrival and had a friendly conversation. He showed me where everything was. It was as described in the advertisement. All spaces were very clean. The location was 10 miles from VT and access was extremely easy. On the first night we asked for a restaurant recommendation. The place Alec suggested hit the nail on the head. Will definitely be looking to stay there again in the future.

Alec was a great host and responded quickly! The home was clean and very comfortable -- would highly recommend!!

Alec has a lovely home and was a very accommodating host! The house is cosy and very affordable. Thanks Alec

We so enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday at Badgers Run. This is a great home for getting away from it all. The pictures do not do it justice! It is spacious with wonderful views and convenient to Blacksburg and VT. The animals are an added bonus: goats, chickens and Toby the most lovable house kitty.

The house and the view were amazing! We really enjoyed our stay there. The house is off the beaten path enabling you to really take in the scenery. This was our first time using Airbnb and really did not know what to expect. The hosts were very kind and helpful. We could not have asked for a better experience.

The house is lovely and the views/location are lovely. The driveway defeated us so we had to hike up the last steep hill but that wasn't too bad. Julie's house sitter was terrific and helped transport our stuff up the last stretch of the drive. Definitely consider having 4 wheel drive if you stay here. My daughter and I had a ball looking after the goats and hens. Be prepared for the rooster to wake you up before sunrise with his crowing! We thought that was great but others might not like such an early alarm clock. The cat is a sweetie. Our dog had a ball running around. The satellite internet/tv struggled to stream on cloudy days but we weren't there to watch tv so it didn't really bother us. A very memorable experience and Julie is very helpful.
