Other fun stuff:
Why is Roanoke called Star City? Roanoke, Virginia, earned the nickname "Star City of the South" due to the iconic Mill Mountain Star. The star, built in 1949, is a large illuminated structure on Mill Mountain, intended as a seasonal Christmas decoration, but it became so popular that it's illuminated every night. The star is now a symbol of the city and a major tourist attraction, contributing to Roanoke's distinctive identity. Please make time to visit the star on your visit! Its a 10 minute drive or a 1.7 mile hike up Star Trail.

This rental was everything my family needed! We were traveling to visit my brother who lives in the area who was running the local marathon. We planned to have some of our group stay with my brother, and part with me at this rental. Because we all travelled in at different times, my family needed a place to relax and camp out while my brother rested before his rate, and while I was still en route. I communicated to Shawn and Nikki with the update and they were super flexible, even though I didn't anticipate my family stopping by the rental and greeting me upon arrival. It worked out so well and the communication was great. The location is convenient, walkable to downtown in about 20ish minutes, and private. I will note that it wasn't totally clear to me that there was a murphy bed in the second bedroom, which was absolutely no issue at all, but I did learn that upon arrival, it seemed. Also, there were tons of remote controllers for lights and fans, and not all worked. This, again, is not really a big deal for us but noting that it was a little confusing. Overall, the stay was fantastic. I would love to stay again or recommend to anyone who is visiting to stay here. Thanks, Shawn & Nikki!

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed. The host was very communicative which made our stay even better. We will definitely stay again, our daughter attends Virginia Tech and she is a freshman so we will have plenty of more visits over the next several years.

From the moment we walked into this 100 year-old home, we were blown away by its charm, character, and cleanliness. The space is full of stories. You can just feel the history in the walls! Yet it’s so thoughtfully maintained and beautifully prepared for guests. It was very clean when we arrived, the light really shines through the tall windows and the welcome was truly next level.The host left us a thoughtful gift we’ll definitely use, plus a basket of essentials (like a toothbrush and other items you might forget). It’s such a helpful and generous touch. The bathroom is probably my favorite part — it’s so quaint and full of character, and the tub is surprisingly deep (even my 6’8” husband could enjoy it!). The towels are soft and fluffy, the beds are incredibly comfortable (our kids, ages 3&6, loved the Murphy bed, and the king bed in the next room was perfect for my husband and I), and the furniture is cozy and inviting. The special touches like the changing color lights with a small remote and the “rainbow fire” were the highlights for my 3 year old son! The porch swing is an absolute dream. We have already spent time relaxing there. The kitchen is very functional and quintessential and the washer and dryer are top-notch. Everything here just feels intentional and full of love.The welcome and attention to detail has already been exceptional. It’s such a joy to share this historical, tim
