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 ![House (4 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93210000/93200700/93200693/a41d1d4a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Christiansburg Home \~ 12 Mi to Virginia Tech!

It was a beautiful spot and an easy drive to and from the campus. The week we arrived two baby goats were born and they were already jumping around by the end of the week. We had a great time with the goats and donkeys and enjoyed feeding them snacks every evening. The view of the mountains is beautiful and there was always animal activity going on, including wild deer that wandered up to the lodge. We definitely plan to return! ##### Christine C.

My stay at the mountain retreat was nothing short of enchanting. The property was clean, with every thing you need to be comfortable, creating a welcoming and serene environment. The breathtaking mountain views were a constant delight, providing a picturesque backdrop that seemed to change with the light of day. Friendly animals in the property, adding a touch of charm and warmth to the experience as they happily interacted with us and our dogs. The little beach on the premises was a hidden gem, offering a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the natural surroundings. ##### Enrique O.

Stayed while moving son into Tech. Warren, Sylvia and all the critters were wonderful. Our time there allowed us to catch our breath and take a pause before moving day, making memories we’ll always cherish! Their location is so beautiful! The absolute best place we’ve stayed in all of our years using VRBO. Can’t recommend highly enough! We even bought t-shirts! ##### Jeanne F.

There were any number of restaurants in the cute town. Va Tech has grown so much. The sky was so clear we were able to see satellites and stars in abundance. During the rainy day we visited Dixie caverns, lovely. We want to come back in the Fall for Autumn colors because the views of the mountains are spectacular. Communication with Warren was great. ##### Tracey E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth D.

It is a single level ground floor unit that is attached to the host's house. Guests enjoy a spacious indoor space as well as a lovely outdoor patio overlooking a working farm and stunning scenery. We could see that it would make a great spot for Tech fans to watch and celebrate games on the tv. The host is welcoming and has done an excellent job of meeting his guests' needs with a spotless, comfortable space inside as well as access to multiple activities on the farm. While these may cost a little, they seem like a fun way to expand a vacation. So if you're in need of the fresh air and beauty of a mountain town or you just visiting Blacksburg for another reason we would certainly recommend this comfy spot. ##### Elizabeth D.

The owners were super communicative about some upcoming work they had going on at the property, offering to adjust the schedule if it would interfere with our holiday (it didn't). We really enjoyed getting to go out and feed the goats! ##### Stacie Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We enjoyed our stay.
