VT Tour & Spring Break

We had a great stay at this property in Draper during our family spring break trip, which also included a tour of Virginia Tech. The location was perfect—less than an hour drive to campus. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was a great base for both exploring the area and spending quality time together as a family. And the dogs absolutely loved the yard! Overall, a very positive experience—we’d definitely stay here again!

Warm and cozy Christmas!

Our family started our Christmas vacation on the 23rd and stayed until the 26th. Tim’s home is cozy and beautiful. The lake is so pleasing to look at and all of the beautiful trees with wildlife running about. My dog loved the big yard and was exhausted every evening from exercise. Everything we needed to make this trip perfect was there! Will definitely be back!

Mother Nature’s Oasis

Beautiful home with spectacular views. The home has everything to make a stay comfortable with thoughtful touches that make you feel at home. The owner provided a clean, entertaining family experience for my wife, 20 year old daughter, and myself with memories that will last a lifetime. It was a peaceful escape from the chaos of the DC region.

A football game plus a whole lot more

A spacious home in a perfect setting. Thoughtfully furnished for large groups. The setting is serene and peaceful with lots to do in the immediate vicinity. Really enjoyed Draper Mercantile, the new ice cream shoppe and the Spinning Jenny Winery, all within five minutes. Deer everywhere you look in the mornings. Would definitely recommend and book again.

Great stay in Draper, VA

The house was such a treat! We stayed for my son's graduation from VA TECH. It was close enough for an easy commute but far enough that we didn't have to deal with noisy parties. The house is beautiful and had plenty of room for us to gather together or seek out some privacy. Shower in master bedroom was 10 out of 10! The pool table kept people entertained, while the kitchen was a delight to work in.

Fantastic, beautiful house

I rented this house for the weekend of my son's graduation from Radford. All of our family and friends raved about how awesome the house is.. my son said it looks like Kevin Costner's house on Yellowstone. A great plus is that the house is dog friendly, my Chihuahua loved it too. Thanks for being a great host.

Exceeded Expectations

We could not have been happier. After hastily departing from another location due to an infestation of bugs discovered in the bed sheets, we found this location and the owner was happy to oblige a same-day check in. The cabin was spotless, the views were amazing, and we can't wait to go back next year!
