Cozy, riverfront house - 15 minutes from Virginia Tech

Great stay with Jake. He let us know we could check in early if we wanted and he had the driveway plowed after (the first wave of) the winter storm. He brought us 2 packs of wood for the fireplace after I said we'd like to use it. He was very laid back and made checkout very easy. He accommodated us easily when I asked him if it would be a problem for us to stay less than 45 minutes after the listed checkout time. We enjoyed the couches and the place had everything we needed. My wife really enjoyed the view and warming herself by the fire. I will convey that, though not a deal-breaker, we noticed a string smell of sulfur when we turned on the shower. Jake says that's what the ground water in that area smells like and I still drank the water there, but some might want to know this in advance.

We had a great stay and the Host was very accommodating. The home was recently remodeled and the scenery was breath taking. Absolutely loved the fact we could bring our fur babies with us!! We would love to come back when it is warmer so we could do some tubing!

Jake (Host) was very responsive and friendly throughout our stay. The property is tucked away in a stunning, private rural setting—beside a rivermountains (and train tracks). We had no cell service with our provider and were grateful for the guest wifi. The house was clean, furnished, and the kitchen was well equipped. The place worked well for my wife and 3 dogs. The dogs loved the huge front and backyard. The plumping appears to be well water and has a sulfur smell, we brought bottle of waters to help. We enjoyed our visit and appreciate the accommodations.

No WiFi at all, no phone signal. Hard to communicate if you have students at VT. Closest restaurant/gas/wifi signal is about 10 minutes driving. Water is well and it smells like sulfur, we had to brush our teeth with bottle of waters. Beautiful river and mountain view. Open backyard.
