Wonderful Stay
The home was beautiful, clean and cozy. Would definitely stay here again.
10/10. The place was so beautiful, clean and authentic. Outside was really fun as its in the Wasena section of shops, restaurants and of course the community park along the Riverwalk. It was such a feel good place.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We are thrilled to hear you found the space beautiful, clean, and authentic. Wasena truly has such a special energy, and being steps from the shops, restaurants, and the Riverwalk along the park makes it a unique experience.
It means a lot to know the home felt like a feel good place for you. We would absolutely love to host you again anytime you are back in the area.
House was perfect for us, we enjoyed playing cards and games at the dining room table, and we loved the location. We could walk to dinner and the greenway, very nice.
My friend and I were in Roanoke to visit nearby Rosie’s Gaming Emporium and see my son’s band, Ready, Set, Radio play. The property was immaculate and only 15 minutes from Rosie’s. We enjoyed our overnight stay immensely!
My family and I had a great stay at the Winona House. The inside is very nicely renovated, and had well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Love the wood finishes and floors. Great proximity to Roanoke River greenway and Wasena neighborhood cafe and restaurants.
Our family stayed in the Parkway suite for 1 night as a pit stop on a roadtrip. The place was great! We enjoyed the stylish decor and ability to walk to the local park, store, and restaurants. I also appreciated the proactive, professional checkin and checkout process - everything was detailed and thorough. Would definitely stay here again!
The house was perfect and historic. A new bridge is being constructed across the street - and once that is finished the access to downtown will be that much quicker. Loved the tiny bakery right behind the house.
The property was beautiful and well appointed The only thing I could suggest would be to put a handicap bar in the shower my elderly mom could take the stairs but the shower was slippery Best city Verbo I’ve stayed
Even better in person than the listing! Super clean, updated, spacious and well equipped! We didn’t have time to walk around much but we did have a wonderful lunch at Bloom (small restaurant just behind the house).
Wow, so clean and everything worked. We will come back for sure. They kept the charm of an older home and updated it so nicely! Guarantee you won’t be disappointed!!
This tastefully restored Craftsman home has all the conveniences, from a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and shining bathrooms. Two of my favorite things from a previous visit to Roanoke, RND coffee shop and the impressive greenway along the river, are right outside the door. Responsive host. Highly recommended!
The property was well kept and comfortable for our family with two full bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The layout was great to allow privacy and peace for everyone. It was nice that there was a washer and dryer available, although we did not use it for our short stay. Thank you.
Lots of room for 4 of us. So many details covered from the filtered water to the cocktail perfect ice cubes. Bagged snacks and granola bars provided plus everything needed for morning coffee. Short walk to the tap room. Comfy furniture with lovely touches such as plants in each room, hand soap, lotion and tissues, and Fall pumpkins decorating the porch.
This house has been beautifully restored! It was an absolute delight to stay in over Labor Day weekend. There is a restaurant, Bloom, right around the corner as well as a coffee shop, Roasters Next Door, across the street. The best part was definitely the mattress! We would definitely return.
We loved our stay and would highly recommend for anyone visiting Roanoke. It was very spacious, spotless, well-appointed, and tastefully decorated. We will definitely stay here again!
This property's presentation in person far exceeded our expectations. It was beautifully preserved while being updated in all the right places. They property went above and beyond with small surprises in the kitchen that made the stay super smooth. Would recommend staying here.
