Hidden gem

Perfect for place for us and priced reasonably. Owner was responsive and helpful, keyless check in made it easy, location was convenient, house was charming and pool table was an excellent addition. We live in a different state but have a daughter that has relocated to the area and we will try to use this home for all our future visits and stays in the area.

Cute Old Home

It was really cute even though it’s slanted. Definitely has that old home character. With it being an older home, things like tripping a breaker when the stove is on, washer running and space heaters on, happens. The service guy was great. We enjoyed it.

Comfortable and Clean

This was a great space for my sons and me to use as home base for a holiday family visit. Close to downtown, supermarkets, and a view of the Star from the side yard. The pool table is a great plus if you have teens!!

Great place to stay for a long weekend

My Dad and I stayed here overnight after a Virginia Tech football game and had a great experience! Very clean and had everything that we needed for a quick overnight stay. We plan on going back for future games, as it would easily accommodate my wife and kids as well. Jim, the host, was on point in responding to any questions I had for him too! Overall, great experience with no complaints

Strongman weekend

House worked very well for us. It is clean and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. It is an easy walk to the park where the competition was held and to many excellent restaurants and shops. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Floors of the house are slanted as stated many places.

Nice place

We came in for the marathon and just needed a place to stay.it was walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. Furniture was kinda cheap and the pool table was useless. But excellent for what we needed.

Slight Slant

The property does have a slight slant on the first floor which can be fun after a few adult beverages. The house was clean and provided all the things i needed. The host communicated the door number the morning off as promised. The only complaint i would have is the pool table is too big for that room and the dart board is missing the darts. I would rent this house again next time I'm in Roanoke.

A Slanted Stay

The owner or property manager never sent any check in or check out information. We were waiting outside the property for an hour after check in time. The entire house is slight slanted, leaning to the left. The furniture appears nice, however, much of it is barely holding together. The coffee table in the living room has a sheared leg. The kitchen table is wobbly and missing certain fasteners to keep it from doing so. Some of the couch pillows were ripped. The shower temperature control fixture is installed backwards. There is also only one entrance/exit to the whole house, which is inherently unsafe. It is a convenient 5-10 minute walk to most things downtown. Its location is the most appealing part of it. The beds are very comfortable and the AC is pleasant. The kitchen comes equipped and it is also very nice. Spacious fridge and nice TVs. The pool table is fun, but again, with the whole house slanted, it does not function normally.

Some Improvements Needed

House is located in an old neighborhood that is very much in transition. This house is decently remodeled, but you can tell some corners were cut. Some efforts have been made to make it guest-friendly, but some improvements would go a long way. Such as hangers in the closet, more space to put your things, provide a shovel and ice melt during the winter. We got 2" of snow during our stay with no way to clear the steps and sidewalk to our car. It got quite slippery. I was excited about the pool table, but the room is not quite big enough causing it to be quite difficult to get a good shot on three different sides of the table. Unfortunately, during our stay there was issues with the furnace. The temp inside the house kept going down and we had difficulties connecting with the host in a timely manner. The phone number he provided was incorrect so finally had to contact VRBO to get his number. Once he did get in touch with us, he offered to put us up in a hotel which was greatly appreciated, it just took a while to hear from him.

Loved it

We loved the house. It’s near downtown so close to everything. Great coffee selection to use with the Keurig. We use to live a few streets over in the same neighborhood, so it was nice to be back in our old stomping grounds. Great price for what you get!
