We spent one night for a last minute sports tournament in the area. Michelle was very easy to communicate with through the whole process. The home being residential was clean, quiet and met our needs. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog and she loved the park across the street. Michelle provided a special blanket for her which she loved curling up with.

A getaway with family and friends

We really enjoyed our stay at Missy's home. It was a great base for events in Roanoke and for hiking and biking in the area, with very easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. A very quiet and peaceful environment in a lovely and comfortable home.

Such a perfect “stop for the night” location

My husband and 3 kids were traveling for a full family trip. To shorten our drive for the kids, we booked this place and missy had all details ready to go on check in day! The hot tub was perfect for my kids and the fire pit was perfect for my husband and I! Missy’s cozy house really allowed my family to wind down before the next long drive. Thank you very much for the fond memories my family made:)

Wonderful family Thanksgiving getaway

We hosted our 2022 family Thanksgiving at this home, and we were so happy with our stay and the location! Missy (the host) made sure everything was perfect for our stay and we had excellent communication during our stay - she is super responsive. Beds were very comfortable, ample linens, kitchen supplies, and sitting room for our party. We loved sitting around the firepit in the backyard and the front porch to watch the sunsets. It was truly a wonderful country escape. Thanks for being a gracious host, Missy, and would highly recommend!

Quick overnight trip

Missy was nice and easy to communicate with but the house seemed like people currently lived in it. There were clothes in the closest and opened food in the refrigerator. It seemed clean but there was trash/take out containers under some of the furniture.

Hi there. Please forgive me but you never checked into the property. I know you said you were traveling and visiting a lot of homes so we can understand a mistake in reviewing but I will call VRBO to let them know.

Nice Little House

This is a nice, little house. It says it has two queen beds and that one is a sofa sleeper, but we pulled the cushions off the couch and it was not. Thankfully, my sister is not picky and happily slept on the couch. It also said there was a game room, but there wasn't. There were games on the coffee table, which was nice, but it should not be listed as a game room. The hot tub was an inflatable one. I did not realize this when I booked it. It would not have fit all of us, and it had ants in it, which I am allergic to, so we did not get to test it out. Bummer. It was, however, clean, and that is my biggest concern when traveling. An added bonus was the two friendly cats on the property, which made our stay better. We all enjoyed petting them. Missy was very nice and extremely quick to respond to any text messages.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your stay with us! We apologize for any confusion regarding the second queen bed - we did update our listing to reflect the removal of the second queen bed, and we appreciate your flexibility. Regarding the hot tub, we understand your surprise about it being inflatable, and we appreciate your clarification that you didn't pay to use it. We're glad to hear the property was clean and that our neighborhood outdoor furry friends brought you joy. We'll take your feedback into consideration for future updates to our listing. Thanks again for your stay, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Charming place

The outside of the house is quaint with lots of spaces to enjoy family time, from sitting on the front swing to a great screened in porch to eat or play games. Enjoyed the quick trip!

Beautiful Getaway!

We only wish we were able to stay longer than a weekend! The house is situated up small hill in the mountains - you're away from it all... but not... Roanoke is minutes away! If you're looking for hiking, breweries, wineries, peace, quiet, and relaxation: this is it! Missy is a fantastic hostess and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay!
