DESCRIPTION OF SETTING AND SPACE
A bit of magic with trees and wildlife on acre of land invite you to pause in time. Enough privacy and space for indoor and outdoor rejuvenation. Very quiet. Inside the city; yet minutes from dining, downtown, 20 miles of greenway, hiking, bicycling, parks, world-class trails in Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia. Appalachian Trail close by. Roanoke is an outdoor enthusiast dream with many outdoor opportunities within a short drive.
Located on quiet wooded land with quaint outdoor spaces. Restorative with airy windows to help you feel like you are almost living outside and bedroom black out blinds for sleeping. Guests report that photos do not do this place justice. There is a resident cat, Callie, who is quite independent and does love to be brushed. She is an indoor-outdoor cat, who does not have access to the bedroom areas and has her own cat door to come and go.
This place is unique and special because of outdoor area, comfy beds, light, airy rooms and casual, inviting ambience that feels like coming home to reconnect and rejuvenate.
The setting is ideal for business professionals, as a base for extended vacations or an outdoor enthusiast in the Blue Ridge Mountains, while shopping for a home, for a student working on thesis, a grandparent visiting adult children and grandchildren, while searching for a new home, to write that book or create the piece of art you have promised yourself or as a place of retreat and renewal. The property and neighborhood is quiet for reflection, studying, preparing for business meetings, private phone calls, etc.
All mattresses are Tempur-Pedic with lots of pillows to match your taste and fit.
The house is my home and is lived in; as with any home, it has quirks and sometimes needs maintenance or experiences a bit of temporary change. Please bear with me if that is the case while you are visiting. Unless I am traveling, I will be in and out around the property, in art studio and sunroom during the daytime and occasionally at night while you are staying here.
There is a library of books, puzzles, games to borrow, if you choose. Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV are available.
You can use my outdoor spaces and a little path in the woods for outdoor enjoyment of birds and nature! You can walk to Garst Mill Park where there is a creek, paved path, Pickleball Courts. There is easy access to the Greenway, Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail as well as Rt 419, Rt 581 and Interstate 81.
Airport is 8 miles. Hospitals are from 2 to 6 miles away.
There is room for storing a bicycle or kayak.
Parking is in private driveway and on a designated area to the right just after you turn into the driveway.
