Beautiful Property

This was a fantastic place to stay while we visited Virginia Tech with my teen daughter. The best part about it was the view of the river (we enjoyed the hot tub!), and our puppy enjoyed taking walks along the river. The house was just as described, very comfortable, and had everything we needed, included for our dog. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Family Weekend

Stayed here for our son's New Cadet Parade weekend at VA Tech. Great location and so relaxing! The views are amazing! It was perfect for a quiet weekend of relaxation. The hot tub was clean and well-maintained. The beds were very comfortable. It had everything that we needed and the hosts were very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

The view is amazing! We loved using the brand new hot tub and walking down to the river for fishing (it is a slightly strenuous walk to get there--no problem at all for us, but wouldn't be good for someone with mobility issues). The appliances are also new, and the house was stocked with detergent, shampoo/conditioner, hand soap, etc.--there was even a bottle of wine to welcome us! We cannot wait to return after the renovations noted in the guest manual are complete!

Sound of train, too rustic and uncomfortable bed

The trains passing by and lasting over 10 minutes at a time is not my idea of relaxing. Place was too rustic for my taste. There is no shower in the master bedroom but the outside shower saved the day and it is great. The foam bed was not ideal for my backache. It would be a good idea to have instruction for the thermostat. It is not the most common type.

Great weekend getaway

This was a great place to stay. Great view of the river on the great deck. The house was perfect for the family. I would definitely like to rent for another time. We will be coming down in the fall to go to Va Tech football games and will try to rent again.

We found the best of VRBO!!

We had an amazing time! We fell in love with the coziness and the views! The train sounds took me back to our childhood days when we would often hear those going by our house. Such a fond memory! We already have plans to return after the renovation in late spring/early summer.I lived in Montgomery County for almost 8 years while I worked in Pulaski County. It isn't a far drive from home but it sure feels like you're miles away from the demands of every day life. The cabin was very refreshing and we felt right at home. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Comfortable Cabin Stay

The property was as described and met our needs well. We stayed over the Christmas holiday, but it seems like it would be even nicer in the summer or fall. The views were beautiful. It is private. The porch, hot tub, and outdoor dining furniture make it a nice location for warmer months.

Left after two days

The owner's romantic description of a "rail line on the hill" is a bit of an understatement and was NOT in the property description when I rented the cabin. To be clear and forewarned, the “hill” is a driveway that runs parallel to the freight line tracks. The cabin sits roughly 40 yards from a very active line. This is offered as a more accurate line for the property description; “Looking for a truly authentic train-spotting experience? This cabin offers front-row seats to a 24/7 freight train show. Enjoy the soothing sounds of screeching metal and ear-splitting horns.” I rented the place for a week, and stayed just two days due to the noise being ridiculously loud. Ear plugs had no effect. It’s that loud. To those interested, the owner refused even a partial refund although being located on a rail line was not advertised in the property description that they provided to VRBO.

Cozy Getaway!

Cozy Cabin was a great getaway for a few days. The views, sound of the river, and Fall colors were just what we needed to decompress. We loved hearing the trains, eating at The Palisades, visiting our son, and seeing sights in the Blacksburg area. The deck and hot tub were where we spent most of our time. Cabin had plenty of paper supplies and most anything you need for your stay. We used some things and left some things that could be used by others. Would love to come back when we can tube and play in the river water.

Cozy Cabin

My family & I stayed for a couple of days and to be close to VA Tech. The property was exactly as described. It was cozy and homey... Perfect for our family! We loved sitting on the deck and looking at the beautiful view. We especially enjoyed the hot tub after a long day! The house was full of everything we needed for our trip. The owners were welcoming and easy to reach. We enjoyed their recommendations for dinner (in the house book). We loved the cozy cabin as we enjoyed the closeness we felt being together! We would love to visit again!

Cute little cozy cabin on the hillside overlooking the river. Sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. Deck was great for sitting and eating outside. Hot tub was perfect. Beds were very comfortable and the cabin was well stocked. It was summertime so we didn’t get to use the fire pit but it looked perfect as well.

Beautiful mountain and river views

I have stayed at the cabin many times in years past, prior to renovations. I have enjoyed seeing it's transformation over the years. I have stayed there alone, with family and friends. Everyone loves it. The cabin will always be my favorite place to visit every year hopefully for many years to come.
