Family-friendly vacation rentals in Giles County

I had the most wonderful stay at Bliss Cabin, to say the least. From the initial photos of the writing desk and yoga deck, to the curious graveled path winding around the property lined with life and decorative details, I was totally immersed in the love and care that was so palpably present! Kathryn & Luke were absolutely lovely, so helpful, and incredibly accommodating! My recommendations while on the property: build and tend to a fire. Journal at the writing desk while playing Miles Davis. Take an early cold plunge in the river, do a round of Wim Hof breathing, then run up to take a hot shower at their beautiful abode. Chat with Luke, have tea with Kathryn. Do yoga on the deck. Say hello to the frogs. Express your inner musician with their drums and sound bowls. Let your soul free here!

We had such a peaceful and enjoyable stay at the Rock Ridge Ranch. The host was amazingly accomadating and the cabin was a slice of Heaven. The space was cozy and close to restaurants and grocery stores. Look forward to returning in the future.

This is a phenomenal option for a visit to Blacksburg. The unit is well appointed, modern, and very clean. Todd and Radka are very responsive, and proactive with great instructions. Would definitely stay again!

Giulia has a very nice apartment that was clean with plenty of room. Although close to town, there is a remote feel as the house is surrounded by woods - a definite plus for me.

Wonderful, clean, cozy place to stay for the weekend. Quiet and comfortable. Well stocked with everything needed. Looking forward to another stay here in a few weeks!

We absolutely loved it, it’s beautiful, peaceful and serene. Exactly what my husband and I were looking for, we will definitely be back when we go to a VT game or just a quick visit.

Our stay was lovely in this organized and clean space. The scenery was beautiful with multiple places to sit, eat, visit, and enjoy our family getaway. Theresa was extremely responsive and left clear instructions. I would definitely consider this rental again as it is close to Radford, but just far enough away to have a relaxing and peaceful spot to gather.

Anahata was the perfect place for our family reunion! I hope to find another reason to have a gathering here. There are spectacular places to walk and explore out side. Inside and around the house on decks and porches are great gathering spots for small and large groups. Our family of 12 could all sleep comfortably with beautiful private accommodation. Our day visitors of 10 or so people enjoyed the beautiful house and grounds. One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve experienced and I’ve been to a lot. The owners were great communicators and took care of everything!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We hosted a my hokie son and a few of his hokie friends for Easter dinner and this home was perfect for what we needed. The home was spacious, clean and the location to the campus was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Location. Is insane. Can’t get better. Host was amazing. Could not have asked for a better host.

Thank you for hosting us. It’s a nice getaway from city also we have a project around here. It’s nice place to take rest

Cozy, comfortable house with a happy, friendly dog running around outside. Super responsive and friendly hosts. Good WiFi but very low cell phone signal. For runners: the mile long driveway and the road beyond it makes for a lovely morning 5K run.

We had a lovely stay at Ruth’s apartment. It was ready upon arrival and it was easy to locate. While it doesn’t have a full kitchen, there is a full fridge, air fryer, toaster oven and hot plate, so it was very well-appointed for cooking if you so desire. She left some yummy treats and water for us. We would definitely stay again when visiting our son at Virginia Tech, which was an easy 5 minute drive.

Had a great stay at Josef’s place. Great location and walkable to everything in Downtown Blacksburg, as well as the campus. The home is very clean and has everything needed for a weekend trip. Would definitely stay again.

I can't say enough good things about The Wandering Goat Lodge. The apartment is spacious with many comfortable throw blankets (our favorite!), room to cuddle up and watch TV, and my VT student felt right at home with all the VT fan gear! We delighted in feeding the goats and the donkeys, all of whom had over-the-top personalities. This will definitely be our go-to stay for VT visits while our kiddo is at school.

I recently had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The home was incredibly clean and well-kept, making for a comfortable and pleasant experience. The surrounding area was beautiful and peaceful, waking up to the views from the cabin was an amazing experience. Rich was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to help us check in smoothly. They were also very responsive and helpful when we had a few questions during our stay. Overall, it was a great time, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming spot!

We had an incredible stay at Gary & Loretta's cottage Thanksgiving weekend! We were in town for the Tech-UVa game and this place more than exceeded our expectations! Gary met us upon arrival and walked us through the house. The house is beautifully decorated, and they have thought of EVERYthing! We were able to take advantage of hiking their property on the well-maintained and marked trails. We were able to enjoy morning coffee with delicious cinnamon rolls that they provided for us. The beds and furniture were very comfortable, and the 4 of us truly loved the place. We are already planning on events we can go to in the future just so we can return! I was also impressed with the responsiveness to any questions we had and communication was outstanding! If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway, or just want to feel like you are at home, then look no further! Thanks again to both of you!

Joe’s place was exactly as described. The location for visiting our off campus Hokies and doing things around campus was very convenient. The beds were soft and comfortable and there were plenty of towels and dishes for 6 of us. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful, quaint house. Enjoyed the screened porch and yard. Location was convenient for walking to Campus and Main Street. Great stay overall!

Dave was great! Check-in was super easy, the place is very nice, there is plenty to do in the surrounding area, and if you have questions he's very responsive. Would stay again!

Perfect home base for a college student who is in the process of moving between dorm and apartment. Very easy to find and clear instructions. I had a slight issue with the key code to begin with but the host was extremely helpful and I figured out how to use the lock. Very clean not too much noise and the view was really nice after a long day of classes.

This cabin was perfect for our weekend stay. We’ll definitely be back & will have to check out their other properties that are close by.

Charming and secluded cabin with beautiful views! Was comfortable and cozy. Lindsay was so helpful and responsive. We really enjoyed our weekend stay!

Great stay. Close to Virginia Tech stadium like described.
