Blue Ridge Bliss - Historic Roanoke Apt Near Carilion & Downtown - Pet Friendly

Easy access to everything from this perfectly located home base. Quaint and cozy two-bedroom apartment in SW Historic district in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Greenway & Blueway Trails, Downtown Roanoke, Carilion & Memorial Hospitals, VA Tech School of Medicine, restaurants, and entertainment all within one mile. We are pet friendly (2 pets max/35lbs max each pet & one-time per pet fee, billed after booking) but we do a deep clean after each guest, you’d never know that pets have ever been hosted.

**All that being said, we know you will enjoy this charming Roanoke experience in our Victorian home!**

Why is Roanoke called Star City? Roanoke, Virginia, earned the nickname "Star City of the South" due to the iconic Mill Mountain Star. The star, built in 1949, is a large illuminated structure on Mill Mountain, intended as a seasonal Christmas decoration, but it became so popular that it's illuminated every night. The star is now a symbol of the city and a major tourist attraction, contributing to Roanoke's distinctive identity. Please make time to visit the star on your visit! Its a 10 minute drive or a 1.7 mile hike up Star Trail.

We will provide check-in and a door code prior to your arrival date.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed. The host was very communicative which made our stay even better. We will definitely stay again, our daughter attends Virginia Tech and she is a freshman so we will have plenty of more visits over the next several years.

Better than the pictures

From the moment we walked into this 100 year-old home, we were blown away by its charm, character, and cleanliness. The space is full of stories. You can just feel the history in the walls! Yet it’s so thoughtfully maintained and beautifully prepared for guests. It was very clean when we arrived, the light really shines through the tall windows and the welcome was truly next level.The host left us a thoughtful gift we’ll definitely use, plus a basket of essentials (like a toothbrush and other items you might forget). It’s such a helpful and generous touch. The bathroom is probably my favorite part — it’s so quaint and full of character, and the tub is surprisingly deep (even my 6’8” husband could enjoy it!). The towels are soft and fluffy, the beds are incredibly comfortable (our kids, ages 3&6, loved the Murphy bed, and the king bed in the next room was perfect for my husband and I), and the furniture is cozy and inviting. The special touches like the changing color lights with a small remote and the “rainbow fire” were the highlights for my 3 year old son! The porch swing is an absolute dream. We have already spent time relaxing there. The kitchen is very functional and quintessential and the washer and dryer are top-notch. Everything here just feels intentional and full of love.The welcome and attention to detail has already been exceptional. It’s such a joy to share this historical, tim
