Large Home w/ Deck & Grill ~ 9 Mi to Virginia Tech

Reviews

• 5/5

  This home was perfect for our stay of four couples visiting for a Virginia Tech football weekend! House was immaculate, kitchen was incredibly well stocked, beds were comfortable, and host thought of all the special little touches for the weekend, including snacks and toiletries! She even allowed us to check in a little early so that we could enjoy a tailgate prior to the evening football game! Location was incredibly convenient to the stadium - about 20 minutes from door to parking lot.

  The host was very responsive. The house was very accommodating for our group of 6. There was a whole room we didnt touch. The house smelled funny though would recommend some air fresheners or something. The 3 different checkout rules was confusing as well but the host responded back quickly.

  Manager's Response:

  It’s great to hear the home was a comfortable fit for your group and that communication was smooth. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your comments, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We were happy to offer an early check-in at no additional cost to help you settle in comfortably.
  - We do have air fresheners in the home, but since it’s an older property that isn’t used between every stay, we understand it may develop a scent. Our cleaner didn’t notice anything unusual but completed an extra cleaning just to be safe.
  - We’ve provided printed check-out instructions in the home to make things easier—there aren’t multiple sets of rules, just a handy reminder so guests don’t have to search their phones.
  - We’ve recently installed a WiFi-enabled thermostat so we can monitor the temperature remotely and ensure everything is set appropriately after check-out.
  Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

  The exterior access is not senior friendly. It is a difficult trek from the drive to the front door on unstable pavers. The rear entrance, where you find the grill, is downright dangerous with steep steps and a heck of a drop off at the drive. However, once inside, the place was as advertised. The rooms were all well appointed with the visitors' comfort in mind.

• Swim meet excellent location

  5/5

  Quiet community house 1.9 miles from Christiansburg Aquatic Center. EASY to get back and forth quickly and you could even walk or run as there are sidewalks the whole way. It was an easy drive into Blacksburg Virginia Tech to enjoy campus life and dining options. Huckleberry trail close-by and great hiking option too. This is your grandmom's house stocked with lots of supplies for cooking full course meals, thoughtful touches like extra bagged ice in freezer, coffee and some treats. All new/modern appliances. We didn't come across anything she didn't have in the house. Living/TV room furniture very comfortable. Beds very comfortable with pads and down toppers, super soft sheets. Curtains could be thicker, blackout drapes so if sensitive to light from the outdoor security motion sensor floodlight coming in bedroom, bring an eyemask. The bunk beds upstairs are regular length, not long twins so wouldn't suggest older teens staying there unless under 5'8". Showers had great pressure and master shower was huge. Laundry washer and dryer very new. Owner is repairing the entry keypad which was problematic during our stay, but always worked (eventually) after multiple tries (hence the 4 instead of stars for check-in) but did scare us initially. The 3 full baths in the house make for an excellent option for 3 different family parents attending a swim meet and able to get ready simultaneously. There would be room for bringing our kids too if they hadn't been with the team.
