Great place for family gathering

Very clean and tidy home, needs a few more pots and pans, chairs for the dining table and some heat in the basement, but overall a beautiful home with space for 10. Very enjoyable stay.

Volleyball players tournament stay!

The host, the house, and the location were prefect! We made dinner in the lovely kitchen, we played board games and were 5 mins from the VTech activities.The home was perfect for our visit!! My daughter is very busy with school and we wanted to spend time with her and engage with her more like we do when she is home. This environment was perfect. We will definitely consider renting again for future VTech visits.

Great Stay

We had a very enjoyable stay here! The couches were comfortable, as were the beds. An easy drive to nearby restaurants and breweries, but in a quiet neighborhood. More chairs at the kitchen table or another table with chairs downstairs would be a good addition.

Family roots

Accommodations were perfect for 3 adult generations. Location was central to planned activities. Food options were great and close. Nice and quiet road. House was wonderful for our family. Having main floor bedrooms and bathrooms was needed for 87 year old mother/grandmother. Thank you!!!

Great House for Visiting Blacksburg!

We stayed at Drillfield Dreamin' for graduation weekend. Easy keyless entry, great communication from the owners, clean house, flat backyard, and plenty of space. The basement has a large area to hang out and a fun coffee area with microwave and mini fridge. It is a quiet neighborhood about 10 minutes from the edge of campus. Moon Hollow Brewery is right around the corner. Would stay there again!

Perfect Home Base for a Blacksburg Stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as advertised. It was the perfect size for us: two adult couples, one single, and one mom and child. We enjoyed hanging out in the living room and kitchen as well as having our spaces to move to when needed. Communication with the owners was promptly responded to, and all information about the location was on point It is a quick drive into Blacksburg down town or to VT. Not far from the Cascades waterfall, and right next to a really tasty restaurant and brewery! Great place for a family stay!

Perfect Family home away from home!

We were lucky enough to secure a couple of nights here whilst visiting Virginia Tech. Excellent accommodations! There was more than enough room for everyone and everything was absolutely spotless and very well appointed. We have stayed in many rentals over the years and this was one of the best. The location to Virginia Tech and the town of Blacksburg was an easy 10/15 drive. Communicating with Tim was great, I always received a prompt response. I give this property a 5 star rating! Thank you Tim!

Wonderful spot near town

Our family had a chance to stay here over the Easter weekend and found the house to be exactly what we needed. Plenty of space. Including a great basement suite, complete with a bar, huge couch and TV.  We were looking for a house with easy access for my 93 year old father-in-law and this place definitely has it. Flat walk in from the car port and another master bedroom on the main levelThe kitchen has everything you need as well. Owner has done a really nice job of setting the place up so you feel at home when you arrive. And location is excellent as well. Steps away from the Moon Hollow brew pub and just a short drive back into Blacksburg. This is a great spot and we look forward to renting it again on our next visit backThanks!

Perfect little house

The house was super clean and easy to get into. I have never stayed anywhere that offered laundry soap and dishwasher soap and coffee and creamer as an amenity and that was awesome. The rooms worked perfect for our party of 6. It is super close to campus and a short drive to everything. Communication with the owners was spot on and they are super nice and accommodating. One thing we noticed is most of the electrical outlets are older and cords fall out of them very easily. Will definitely book again next time we have a larger group going to Blacksburg.

Nice house. Nice stay. I think they are getting ripped off by their cleaning/maintenance company because: Outside trash was full even though instructions were posted to take trash out to curb when leaving. Sheets in dryer upon arrival. Refrigerator had spoiled items in it even though the instructions were to discard all items upon departure. Storm door was broken and slammed on my 3 year old granddaughters head.

Hi Jackie, thank you so much for the great review. As we discussed previously, thank you for bringing those items to my attention. My cleaning crew has been informed, although their reputation and significant history with me ensures me your personal experience is an outlier. I’m so sorry you had a problem with the door and I’m glad we could get it fixed the same day you reported it to me. It’s also a great reminder that we should supervise three-year-olds going in and out of doors to the home.

Home Away From Home

We truly enjoyed our stay. The house is on a quiet street and large lot-- we even noticed deer passing through each morning behind the house. It is conveniently located to everything you'd need in the Blacksburg area, and a short drive to Fairlawn and Radford. Since we planned on cooking most meals and doing some holiday baking, I brought a few cooking utensils and an Instant Pot with us. Otherwise, the kitchen was stocked with everything else we needed for a short term rental. The basement adds a great amount of space to spread out or cozy up for a movie. We especially appreciated the playground right outside the kitchen! Adults can sit under the carport or on the firepit patio while the kids play. A vacuum and broom/dustpan were accessible to guests which was nice so we could tidy up as needed. The coat closet and pantry are not accessible to guests but there is counter and cabinet space to store pantry items during your stay.
