Peaceful stay
This was our second stay at the cow house with our sheltie, Bear. I love that it is in the country, but only about 15 min from Blacksburg. We love to watch the cows walk through and drink from the river that runs just by the house. Beautiful views, sweet smells of the countryside, and wonderful accommodations. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

Host profile image
I grew up in this country cottage and spent many wonderful years in the area. I moved from the area when I married and then my children spent many wonderful years visiting their grandparents on this property. My brothers and I wanted to keep a home place, but still have the property used and enjoyed by others.

Why they chose this property

This is a very special property with many memories and always a place to get a way from it all, but so close to major functions in the local college towns. It also allows a group to stay with their pets with large fenced in back yard, while being the opposite direction of traffic.

What makes this property unique

The beautiful view of the mountains, the peaceful sounds of the Sinking Creek, the coziness of the living room and game room, the large fenced in back yard.
