This is our 2nd trip to the Happy Place. It is very clean and quiet. Paul & Colleen are great hosts. We enjoyed the fresh eggs and breakfast muffins. We will be coming back!
We were very happy with our stay! The communication was clear and helpful and the place felt like home for the weekend. Our girls loved the chickens! We will hopefully come back for the next swim meet!
We had a wonderful weekend at the cottage. The weather was beautiful Paul and Colleen were wonderful hosts. The cottage is beautiful, decks were wonderful. Had a great family dinner on the deck. Close enough to VT without all the crowds.
This little cottage is comfortable and has everything you need during your stay. Paul and Colleen were great hosts and were very responsive. The cottage is decorated very nicely and was a great place to stay while moving in my daughter at VT. The cottage is very close to 460 and was easy to get to. The property was also quiet and beautiful.
The house was perfect for us and Colleen is so sweet and thoughtful! The coffee cake, eggs, and hand written note made the stay even more special. We will book more dates in advance so we can attend games next year and only want to stay here! It was a great experience!
This is a great place to stay. We really enjoyed being so close to family! Nice and clean space. Very kind owners. The only thing I didnât realize ahead of time is that the a/c is a single window unit which requires the bedroom doors to remain open at night. Heat throughout the home means this is really only a factor in the warmer months and honestly, it wasnât a huge negative since it was only the two of us. We would definitely come back!
This is our second time staying here for a swim meet. We love this little guest house, it is perfect for our family of 4. It is about a 5-6 minute drive to the Christiansburg Aquatic Center. Colleen and Paul are very accomodating and have fresh eggs and baked bread on the counter for you when you arrive!! The house is very clean and smells great. Love the mattress in the master and we always sleep great!! As long as this isn't booked, this is always my first choice VRBO for swim meets!!!!
4 adults fit comfortably. Very clean, neat, and tidy. Lovely decor. Yummy banana bread and eggs from their free range hens. Prompt replies to all our inquiries. Excellent situation - near town but on large semirural property. Deck outside with table and chairs. Might become our habitual pad when we visit our college student son in Blacksburg.
This was the perfect property for our recent trip to Virginia Tech for our daughterâs graduation. It is easily accessible from 460, making it a great choice for Tech activities. Everything was as advertised with an added surprise gift of freshly baked coffee cake and a lovely hand-illustrated welcome note! Paul and Colleen provided excellent directions and were prompt with communication.
Unfortunately, we found this gem on our last visit to Blacksburg. If we ever find ourselves coming back I would most definitely stay here. Thank you!
Paul and Colleen are fantastic. The cottage looks just like the pictures. They left fresh eggs from their chickens, and homemade cinnamon muffins that were delicious! The towels and linens are very nice quality. The bed is a foam mattress and probably a 9 on the softness scale, with 10 being the softest. Colleen, thank you for telling us the little places to check out in the area! It was a great stay, even though we cut it a bit short.
The property was adorable and the house very cozy. The only thing is the refrigerator was SUPER TINY. We had 4 coolers of food due to a graduation party and there was no room. The hotel refrigerator held way more food than the house. That would be something helpful to know since the house can fit 5 people. Other than that, I would highly recommend this location!
Easy access to shopping and grocery store. Comfortable surroundings. Beautiful nature and lots of birdsong. The chickens free ranging on the property is a plus. Love it! Highly recommend for small group of adults and maybe school age children. We were three adults. The bunk bed is a bit tricky on the top bunk for an adult. The queen bed is very comfortable.
We stayed at this cottage for my sons State swim meet at the aquatic center in Christiansburg. It was only 3 minutes away and couldn't have been better. The house was perfect. We weren't there much due to swimming, the fridge was perfect for us, but if you need to have a regular size fridge, this cottage has a mini fridge. The Cinnamon muffins and personalized card were also amazing. I only wish we had found this place sooner, as my son is moving up and we don't swim there anymore, but if that changes I definitly will be renting again.
Host was friendly and easy to work with. The cottage was accurately depicted and very nicely done. It was a perfect place for my friends and I to stay while in town for an event. Would absolutely enjoy staying here again for future visits.
This was our second time renting here and it was great again. Easy access and check in/out. Very clean, fits our family well. My kids love the bunk beds (they are 10& 8). It is a great location to Christiansburg Aquatic Center.
It was wonderful to return to Paul and Colleenâs place. Itâs a great home base for us as we see family and friends. We appreciated all the homey touches and comfortable amenities. We will definitely stay again!
Thank you!! Kathy and Ernie
Close to all modern amenities and located in town, we sit 30' above Depot St, making our property rural and country-like. You'll get to enjoy farm fresh eggs during your stay from our very pwn chickens. We've tried to think of everything, but would love to hear suggestions about your experience with us!
