About this house rental


AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL & WONDERFULLY PEACEFUL MOUNTAIN RETREAT FOR FAMILY & MULTI-GENERATIONAL STAYS, RELAXING GETAWAYS, ALUMNI REUNIONS, VISITING & INCOMING PROFESSORS & PROFESSIONALS WITH FAMILIES. (NOT SUITABLE OR AVAILABLE FOR WORKING CREWS OR GROUPS.)

VIRGINIA TECH, BLACKSBURG: A SCENIC 15-MILE (25 MINUTE) DRIVE

On 268 spectacular acres of open fields, park-like woods & bubbling creeks, between the Blue Ridge & Allegheny Mountains, at the head of Clover Hollow, wrapped around by mountain ridges, Jefferson Nat'l Forest & the Appalachian Trail.

You will love being at Blackberry Morning Retreat! Feel the "Ahhhh" as you fully relax in our welcoming, comfortable 4-bedroom, 3-bath, fully-furnished & well-equipped, cedar, fieldstone & glass contemporary home and look out over the stunning views.

A perfect place to gather family & friends for Virginia Tech, VA/MD Vet Med, & VCOM, attending sporting events, class reunions, moving your student in, visiting and graduation.

Or to gather for birthday & wedding celebrations, family and alumni reunions, bride or groom's retreats, and honeymoons.

Yet why wait for a special occasion? Just come and enjoy a wonderfully relaxing & refreshing vacation with family and friends!

Experience stilled time surrounded by the peaceful solitude of nature from the great room with its glass walls, Listen to the creek flowing & the birds singing and the breeze blowing. The spectacular views of beautiful surrounding mountains & rolling valley are breath-taking. The sunsets down the valley & the brilliant once in a lifetime views of the stars in the night-sky are awe-inspiring.

You can hike anywhere on the land & there are spectacular views from every vantage point. Picnic on the meadows & explore the creeks & park-like woods.

Experience awesome outdoor adventures nearby including the Appalachian Trail that adjoins our property. We are very fortunate to have the beautiful Kelly Knob AT hike right in our backyard. If you brave the initial steep half-mile, you are rewarded with a lovely rolling hike in woods capped off with a spectacular view of the New River Valley. If you are feeling hearty you can start the hike without any driving straight from the farm house.

See Giles County, VA.

PLEASE NOTE! We have a lovely couple residing in the basement studio apartment. I have found Tyla & Anthony to be exceptional young people - responsible, considerate and friendly.

The apartment has a separate outside entrance and they will be very respectful of your presence in the house and your right to privacy and a quiet and non-intrusive Retreat stay.

But they will be happy to chat with you about the area or answer questions you might have or help you out in any way that he can while you're there, if you wish.

The house was really well-laid out, and sooooo comfortable. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions. It was perfect for our group of 8. The 3 separate bathrooms is a huge bonus. Property is beautiful.

We truly enjoyed our stay here! Eleven years ago, our family stayed here when my niece graduated from VT…we booked it again because our daughter graduated from VT! This home was spacious and accommodated us comfortably! We cooked our meals, sat on the patio, enjoyed the view, played games, and even hiked part of the AT while staying here. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the short drive to campus was of no inconvenience to us at all.
