Lovely ranch home tucked back in the woods with the closest residential proximity to mountain biking and hiking trails you can get! You will have this entire home to spend relaxing and exploring Carvins Cover Nature Preserve, the Appalachian Trail, McAfee Knob, Dragons Tooth and many other iconic Virginia trails Anaâs outdoor destinations. Less than 20 minutes to downtown Roanoke and 50 minutes to Virginia Tech means that you can have the best of everything in the New River and Roanoke Valley.
In town for a Senior Softball tourney in Roanoke and Salem. Turned out to be a great place to unwind after long days in the heat. Would stay here again.
Our all seniors family stayed a long weekend to attend a family reunion in Salem. It was a great place for us. Quiet, beautiful, lots of deer, hiking trails, all in proximity to where mom grew up. Host Emily was great and place was awesome!!
the place was awesome
Emily is a wonderful host, answering lots of questions before our stay. The home was clean and well provisioned, in a wonderful neighborhood. A wide variety of hiking trails are less than a 5 minute walk from the front door. Plan on unplugging and enjoying nature, including the visiting deer families.
We had an amazing 3 night stay. Our plan was to ride Carvins Cove each day and we couldn't have picked a better base camp for our adventures. The house is very comfortable with everything you need in terms of cooking and relaxing. The proximity to Carvins Cove is perfect for all things outdoors.
Excellent location, quiet and private. Exactly what we were looking for. Even found hiking trails right out of the backyard. Didnât want to leave. House had plenty of room. Kitchen was fully equipped. Spent lots of time on the patio out back!
House was just as described on the listing. Very clean and cute. Great way to disconnect with limited access to the phone!
My family loved the quiet and close location to Carvins Cove. Great hiking trails and probably the most deer I have seen at one time in the field in front of the house at dusk - easily 30+
My family and I loved our stay!
Great house to stay at if your looking for some outdoor adventures. Amazing hiking and mountian biking trails all within very close proximity to the house. As noted: cell service is pretty much nonexistent, there is sometimes enough of wifi signal to send messages as needed. Would highly recommend for any outdoor enthusiasts.
My wife & I spent a week at this property to hike in Carvins Cove & the surrounding mountains. We loved the quiet, secluded location with hiking (& mountain biking / horse) trails right at the end of the driveway. Access points to the AT, grocery stores, restaurants & downtown Roanoke are all nearby. While this is an older home, it is comfortably furnished & everything worked well. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The owner (Emily) was very helpful & always responsive to our inquires. Cell service is spotty, but the Wi-Fi worked well. It would have been nice to have a functional fireplace for our winter visit, but other than that, the house was perfect for us.
We were a group of 60+ year old men and women. The guys were hiking on the trails in the area and the ladies were hanging out. The house was spacious enough for all of us. The natural beauty of the area was very nice. There were many deer and birds and a few lizards to watch. We got lucky with the weather, every day was beautiful. They have games to play and some books if we did have a rainy day. No TV and minimal phone service so if than matters to you, maybe look elsewhere. We loved it. defiantly recommend it .
This property was great for my family, with plenty of room to spread out inside, as well as a lovely back porch with built in seating. My husband and I went out each morning with our coffee and admired the deer. I strongly caution anyone driving in the neghborhood to keep it to a slow crawl because the beautiful deer are everywhere. The house has a warm vibe and beautiful artwork, as well as everything you might need in the kitchen.
Great space for our group to rideâŠtrail entrance is right next to house! We had good WiFi on our weekend. Weâd stay here again for sure on another Roanoke trip.
