The Wandering Goat Lodge located on Big Cedars Farm currently offers a 17,400 sq ft PRIVATE access lower apartment featuring stunning views, a relaxing retreat and farm adventures abound. BONUS- we are multi-pet friendly and also have FIBER Internet! :) Located 5 miles from Blacksburg, Virginia and 11 miles from Christiansburg Aquatic Center... Ellett Valley is a quaint, rural "Sunday-Drive" destination outside of town with generations of Farm-living, historic homesteads, stunning views and close access to the Appalachian Trail iconic hikes-- all in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are near the town of Blacksburg -- but just far enough to decompress and embrace breath-taking natural beauty. Seasonally & daily we encourage you to visit and take a walk, pet the animals and immerse yourself within the property's quiet spaces. This is a predominately family-owned valley and our farm is no exception. With a deep heritage of looking out for one another, it will probably be one of the safest places you ever stay -- and definitely one of the most beautiful. Located along Mossy Spring Creek and overlooking Paris Mountain, The Wandering Goat Lodge at Big Cedars Farm is just 10 minutes from downtown Blacksburg & VA TECH Campus. The WGL space sleeps 6 people and can accommodate more upon request. Bring your dogs and we even have a pen for them outside if you like. IF you have more guests, try our RETRO camper --the ROAM Inn- as an additional booking. We are told our farm is the perfect spot to be "near town" yet embrace all of nature and the beauty of the surrounding mountains. In the summer, young and old alike will enjoy the creek and in the cooler months, you can cozy up to our amazing bonfire--which offers a perfect backdrop for some memorable family photos. Try it, we believe you will love it and want to return. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Limo/town car service - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: OUTSIDE only & dispose of properly. 420 ok. ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a river ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycle parking - Bicycles - Boat - Farming classes - Foosball table - Golf - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Table tennis - Tennis - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Bicycles - Composting - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Electric car charging station - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Farming classes - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Recycling - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 17,400 square feet - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91360000/91354600/91354540/2715133e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountain Creek Lodge located within 20 minutes of Virginia Tech Blacksburg - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 27 reviews CA $314 CA $525 total includes taxes & fees Oct 19 - Oct 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=91354540&PinnedHotelID=91354540&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104320000/104315200/104315168/7b42c9c7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Bird House - Brand new, 3.5 miles from VT, Privacy, Tile Shower, King bed.
