About this property

Historic Pre-Civil War Log Farmhouse in the Country with Creek access.

Welcome to the Inn at Maggodee Creek! We're so happy to host
you! The Log Cabin part of our house is dated back to before the Civil
War. The other half was added around the turn of the 19th century
and still has a lot of its original charm. This is my husband's
childhood home that we inherited in 2022. We have lovingly updated
it since that time.

The large front porch is so inviting, for early morning tea or coffee basking in the sun.
A perfect place to sit in your pajamas and enjoy the scenery. The cows grazing nearby or the creek meandering through the property or the train rolling by.

The back porch/patio is another wonderful place to sit and enjoy the evening sun with a close-up view of the cows and the rolling hills.

Just out the front door and a little walk down to Maggodee Creek, a bench and a picnic table await you. Be sure to bring your bathing suit to swim or wade in the creek. A set of stairs will lead you down, or you can climb down the bank—your choice.

Back at the house...Sitting in the log room puts you back in the Pre-Civil War era. The rough cut logs and intricate detail into each one placed. What they used to hold it all together and insulate it is displayed throughout the house....horse hair, red mud, rocks, sticks, and bricks. Make sure you look at the ceiling in the log room. Look for, "C H Wright Boone Mill VA" and look for the many "C"'s & "Wright"'s on the ceiling. At the turn of the century, C H Wright ordered the lumber and flooring on pallets and had them shipped by train to the Boones Mill Train Depot. The shipper wrote his name and the town to where the lumber would be shipped. We discovered this when we were uncovering the walls and the ceiling. C H Wright thought no one would ever see them again. Little did he know!

Now, we hope that you can enjoy some time in this wonderful getaway. Make yourself at home!

In the area for a family celebration and found this place on VRBO. Loved the potential to stay in an historic property, but with all the amenities. Loved the log cabin vibe, the cows (no smell at all) and watching the ground hogs graze. Rhonda was a great host, made it all so easy.

The host was so helpful and responsive, true hospitality. This is a beautiful home, We had plenty of space to sleep and spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal, and thankfully there were many hands to wash the dishes. The outside space was inviting and easy to spend time in. Even in the rain, it was a great place for a family.

Visit with family

The house was the perfect size for all 6 people in our party. It was clean and very accommodating, and the host was AWESOME! It was definitely in the perfect location for us to be able to visit all of our family, whom we hadn’t seen in years. We would definitely stay again if we ever decide to come back to visit.

From the moment we arrived we felt pampered. The hosts thought of everything and then some. The house was decked out for the Christmas holiday with precious decorations tucked here and there. There were plenty of supplies on hand for everyone in our family. The added bonus of hand knitted cloths and beautiful hand crocheted snowflakes were the icing on the cake. We added an extra night just to take in all the house had to offer. What a gem.
We arrived late and woke up to about 5 inches of snow! It was a winter wonderland.
We had a last minute addition to our trip and he made himself right at home. They even had a dog bed and pans for food and water.

Perfection!

This was the perfect place for our family to re-connect and unwind. The hosts thought of everything that guests might need. The home and surrounding property were stunning. We all spend ours sitting on the front porch reminiscing. Our family has already booked another stay here, and cannot wait to return!

This property was an incredible find. We loved everything about it, it was everything we were hoping for and more. The grounds are absolutely beautiful! Our puppy loved roaming around and visiting the cows. We had everything we needed and then some, with very special and thoughtful touches. The rooms are enormous and the decorating so warm and inviting. Everything was spotless. We have stayed in several older homes but this was the first one that had such good vibes, like it has seen happy times. We thank you so much for sharing your home with us and we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely Property!!

High school friends gathered at this lovely historic farmhouse for time together. Everything we needed was provided and the super-clean house in a beautiful rural setting was the perfect spot to reminisce and share a delightful time together. The hostess was most accommodating and communication was a breeze. Highly recommended as a “home away from home”

A Perfect July 4th Getaway—Home Is Exceptional!

We absolutely enjoyed spending the Fourth of July in Rhonda’s lovely home. From the moment we arrived, it was clear she’s the epitome of the perfect host—always friendly, responsive, and ready to help. When I ran into a few hiccups on my end, Rhonda went above and beyond, making the process stress‑free.The property itself is a true gem. We spent time beside the babbling creek, watching cows graze in the pasture and deer wandering through the property. My 13‑year‑old grandson was fascinated by the history of the Inn and couldn’t get enough of the antiques throughout the house and on the property.We truly enjoyed of our stay and can’t wait to return in the fall. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax, reconnect with nature, and enjoy outstanding hospitality!

Incredible Property and Even Better Hosts!

We visited Franklin County for a family reunion and were delighted withthis historic VRBO property. It exceeded all our expectations and made our gathering truly special. The cozy and well-stocked house comfortably accommodated 6 adults, two children, and our dog. It was spotlessly clean, and the spacious living areas were perfect for quality family time. The real highlight was the incredible countryside views. Waking up to stunning sunrises over the Blue Ridge mountains was a magical experience. The kids had a blast playing in the nearby creek, adding to the fun. The property's location was ideal, with easy access to Roanoke, Rocky Mount, and Smith Mountain Lake. It allowed us to explore the area and reconnect with our roots, as our family had moved away over the last decade. In summary, our stay at this historic house was fantastic. It provided a comfortable and cozy base for our family reunion, with incredible views and nearby attractions to enhance our experience. If you're looking for a perfect getaway in the Roanoke area, don't hesitate to book this VRBO property. We're already dreaming of returning in the future!
