Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Roanoke County

This cabin is truly a hidden gem! Nestled on a mountainside at the end of a private, scenic driveway, it offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of distant mountain ridges. The cabin is incredibly pet-friendly and our dog loved exploring the forest, following deer tracks, and hiking up to the ridgeline behind the cabin. The cleanliness of the home was exceptional—everything was spotless, and it felt like we were the very first guests to ever stay there. We appreciated the tasteful decor, clutter-free atmosphere, and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, which made cooking after a long day of hiking a breeze. On the days we were too tired to cook, we were delighted to find shops and restaurants just a short drive away. Bryan, our host, was fantastic—quick to respond and always available if we had any questions. We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

It is such a cute house!! Really comfortable beds , great outdoor space to sit, tvs in 3 places which was nice and everything was very modern and cared for!!!

Angela’s house was a great place to stop on our road trip with our three dogs. It was clean and spacious and the back yard was fully fenced which was perfect.

Jim’s farmhouse was a cozy, serene, and luxury home away from home. The property and home were amazing. It was clean and high quality. All of the details you could want thought of. The horses were friendly. I wished I could stay for another week (year?) and just read books from the house on one of the porches or in front of a fireplace or fire pit. Our family will definitely be returning!! Thanks again, Jim! :)

Kelli's place was absolutely perfect for our party of four + dog! We were visiting for a wedding with many events throughout the week, frequently coming & going. Location was very convenient to downtown & just off the main road for us. We particularly appreciated that while the place felt homey, it wasn't overly full of decorations covering every surface, making you feel like your belongings are going to get easily lost. It was well equipped to cook at the place & we wanted for nothing! Kelli was extremely kind & accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely stay here again!

What else can we say about Fotheringay? It has been our "home" for ALL of the Virginia Tech football weekends for the past 3 years. We even made it a point to hold a "family thanksgiving dinner" at the house last Friday before the VT vs. UVA football game. The peaceful setting, and the mountains every, fall have been wonderful! Dabney, the owner, and George the onsite host have been out of this world with communication and generous hosting. George has continued to make small improvements to the house in the form of a firepit, zero gravity chairs for star gazing or taking in the fall colors, an outdoor table near the grill to sit and enjoy lunch on nice days, and some of the most comfortable mattresses and sheets we have ever used. George is easy to find, but he is NEVER intrusive, so respectful of your time and ensuring that you enjoy the time. If you like early American history, stay at Fotheringay, and spend time looking at the items in every room. What you find will amaze!

We highly recommend this place! We especially appreciated the very well-stocked kitchen, the super interesting architecture and interior design, the many comfortable seating options, and the gorgeous natural surroundings.

Great Host and peaceful location. We spent comfortable time.

Birgit is a wonderful host and her place is spacious, easy to find, clean, comfortable, and has a beautiful mountain view from the back patio!

Great stay, thank you Neil! Especially grateful for the coffee maker!

Great place and wonderful stay! We decided to stop in Roanoke at the last minute and were able to book this place. The location is fantastic (less than a mile from all the cool, funky stuff in Roanoke), and the place itself looks to be an old high school, with the added bonus of a nano brewery RIGHT ON THE PREMISES (AFOG- look it up)! Check in was seamless, the place looks just like the photos, and it’s super clean (Neil even says in his welcome, not to bother with cleaning because they have a full time cleaning crew). If you’re staying in Roanoke, stay here!!!

Cute place! I wish we had gotten to enjoy it more, as we were only there for a quick stay (late entry and early departure). Would recommend!

Fantastic location- we loved the easy access to such a good brewery! We spent the afternoon at the brewery, then it was a super cheap uber ride to dinner downtown. Great spot! Will use again!

This was my second stay and it was just as great as the first! The space is super clean, cozy, and feels like a home away from home. The brewery next door is a fun bonus, and the area is very walkable with plenty to explore nearby. Always a great experience—I’ll definitely be back again!

Neil’s place was very clean and affordable, was exactly what we were looking for and Neil communicated efficiently and thoroughly!

The apartment is clean, dark, quiet. The brewery in the building worked well for me. The bed was super comfy and the huge TV made it feel like home.

Melba's little cabin is amazing. Don't just stay somewhere nice, stay somewhere unique and wonderful! From the custom details in the house to the adorable animals just across the fence (especially the little pig), this cabin was a heartwarming, peaceful experience we'll never forget. Close to great dining, too and of course Smith Mountain Lake. Thank you, Melba and family. We hope to come back.

The cabin was authentic and very private. There were lots of fish in the pond in front of the cabin and was very cold to have so close to the cabin. My family and I loved our stay here.

Such a special place to stay! The cabin is wonderfully cozy and homey, with windows open we could hear birdsong every morning and gentle rains at night. Kitchen is well suited for lots of cooking, and the array of books and games was impressive. We loved hiking in the surrounding areas, and equally enjoyed being able to rest here in the evenings. Highly recommend :)

Beautiful addition to our trip….very clean and perfect for what we wanted

The Cabin was really nice; very clean and modern, really liked the space. The AC didn't work very well, so it did get a little hot at times, but there are 2 big ceiling fans that worked well to keep it tolerable, that would be my only real complaint though was just temperature. There was a little snafu with the gate being locked at the entrance/exit of the property when we tried to exit, but they responded quickly to get it resolved. Overall it was a very nice cabin, and we really enjoyed our stay; would definitely recommend it.

I booked this for a weekend retreat for my boyfriend's birthday and Rocreek cabin was everything we could have hoped for!! The location was secluded, serine and just LOVELY!!! The small details in the cabin were soooo perfect and just added to the experience. I love that she labeled towels for the furbabies and also had bowls for them. Our favorite part was the waterfall out back!! Having the window open above the bed and being able to listen to that while we slept was soooo relaxing!!! I also got Rhonda to bake a cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it was delicious!! $25 well spent and it was waiting in the fridge when we got there. Loved the area, as there was so much to do and see! Hiking sharp top, which was 15 mins away, was AMAZING. We also enjoyed the D-Day Memorial, which was also within 20 mins. Bedford is sooo quaint and cute!! This property and the area is a must see!!! Thank you both for being such AMAZING hosts.

Libby and Kerry were great hosts. Very flexible and attentive. They treated us their own guests checking on us often to see if we needed anything. The place is historic and we felt like we were living in the 18s. My kids had som much fun with board games and toys in the cabin. They also liked exploring the big field. Definitely coming back.

My husband and I spent the long weekend at the cabin with our dog to celebrate our anniversary. It was everything we could have asked for! Melissa made the three of us feel very welcome. She went above and beyond to prepare the place for our stay including providing dinner and breakfast for our first night and morning. Our dog had a blast running around the gorgeous 150 acres around the property. We got hit with a rain and wind storm and the cabin lost power. Melissa and Phyllis were quick to respond by turning on the generator to ensure the rest of our stay was comfortable. We will definitely be back!
