Luxurious 1-bedroom in Roanoke
Beautifully remodeled house in the sought after Grandin Village area. Walking distance to Grandin Village restaurants and shops, minutes from downtown, and easy ride to the Roanoke River Greenway. This is a very large one bedroom with luxury finishes and very comfy bedding and towels. *** I built this place to be somewhere that I would very much like to stay at a very affordable price. However, please do not book if you are not willing to treat this place like it is your own.*** Thanks!

The Magical Cabin on Back Creek
Magic is the word most people use when they visit this hidden gem. Built in 1939 as a fishing cabin by a gentleman who incorporated box cars as rafters and beams, dates still visible since removing the attic. By far the best place I've ever lived. I decided to share it with others who love to explore, who love listening to the voice of the creek or who come just to sit on the porch high above the creek with a spouse, friend, family, or alone. For the best sleep, open the bedroom window!

Falling Pines Historic Cabin
The original log cabin was built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). These cabins were built after the Blue Ridge Parkway was laid in 1935, which is just down the street. With love and attention our cabin's renovations were complete in 2017. We kept the original log walls to add a rustic feel to the contemporary, crisp clean decor. The cottage overlooks the babbling waters of Back Creek but is just a 5 minute drive to the grocery store, private yet convenient.
