An amazing place to gather family & friends for Virginia Tech sporting events, graduations, class reunions, moving in your freshman & visiting your upperclassman. Also perfect for your family reunions, bride or groom's retreat, and honeymoons. Or why wait for a special occasion? Just come and enjoy a relaxing & refreshing vacation with family and friends! With awesome outdoor adventures nearby including the Appalachian Trail that adjoins our property. We are very fortunate to have the beautiful Kelly Knob AT hike right in our backyard. If you brave the initial steep half-mile, you are rewarded with a lovely rolling hike in woods capped off with a spectacular view of the New River Valley. If you are feeling hearty you can start the hike without any driving straight from the farm house.

You are going to love being here! It is incredibly beautiful & wonderfully peaceful! Listen to the creek flowing & the birds singing and the breeze blowing. The sunsets down the valley & the brilliant once in a lifetime views of the stars in the night-sky are awe-inspiring. You can hike anywhere on the land & there are spectacular views from every vantage point. Picnic on the meadows & explore the creeks & park-like woods.
While at Blackberry Morning, experience fun outdoor adventures!

PLEASE NOTE that we have a resident in the basement studio apartment. We like to have someone trust-worthy living on the premises since this is our family home and farm and it is very special to us!

Matthew Blair, (26) is a PhD candidate in Environmental Science at VATech. The apartment does have a separate outside entrance and Matt will be very respectful of your presence in the house and your right to privacy and a quiet and non-intrusive Retreat stay. But he will be happy to chat with you about the area or answer questions you might have or help you out in any way that he can while you're there.
I have found Matt to be an exceptional young man - very mature, responsible, considerate and friendly. Please see his photo among the Retreat photos.
