"I hesitate to write this because I want to keep Blacksburg Bed & Breakfast to myself. It is an absolute hidden gem! Perfect for solo travelers, families, or large groups. Spacious houses - yes, houses - offer large, comfortable kitchens, living rooms, and multi-sized rooms. The food is excellent and made to order. At $9.95/person for homemade breakfast, with large portions, it is the best deal in town. Sherie, the cook, will deliver to your room! The GM is fantastic! He gave me a personal tour of the property and answered all of my questions about its history. I love this place! Fills up quickly so don’t wait to book! 10 stars!"
