Surrounded by large tracts of forest, our pet-friendly guest house is perfect for a country vacation or a work-from-home escape. Located on a permaculture homestead and native plant sanctuary, the house is ~10 miles from Floyd, ~20 miles from Blacksburg, and ~35 miles from Roanoke. The house has a fenced yard, fully stocked kitchen, and super-fast fiber optic wifi. There is a hiking trail along the top of the ridge. Be sure to check out our other unique Airbnb listings! The open floor plan of this house makes for an incredible gathering space. It was completely renovated several years ago, with new appliances and amenities. Two mini-split units heat and cool the space quickly and easily. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing and enjoying food. There is a propane grill on the back deck. The fenced-in outdoor lawn area offers a relaxing space to sunbathe, break bread, stargaze, and roast marshmallows. Our secluded dirt road is great for walking, but you can also explore the ~1+ mile trail along the ridge line. There are 2 bedrooms - a master bedroom with a king bed upstairs and a second bedroom with a queen bed and twin bed on the main floor. There is an office area in an upstairs nook connected to the master bedroom (the master is separated by a hallway and a door). It is possible to drive right up to the house for those with limited mobility, but only when the grass is dry and/or you drive an AWD or 4WD vehicle. Guests are welcome to use the ping pong table and dartboard in the workshop, located beneath the living space of the house. The entire living space (top 2 floors of the house) is available to guests. The bottom floor of the building, which includes a workshop and garage, is considered private, but guests are welcome to use the washer and dryer located there, as well as the ping pong table and dartboard. We just ask that children are supervised when they are in the workshop! We live next door and are more than happy to help if anything comes up. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance or have questions. The house is tucked away on a state-maintained gravel road. We live next door. There is one other small cottage on the property. There are no other houses nearby. We are conveniently located between the towns of Floyd (20 minutes) and Blacksburg (35 minutes), and we are ~45 minutes from Roanoke. The house is on a beautiful state-maintained gravel road. There are chickens on the property in a separate fenced-in area. We ask that dogs remain leashed when outside of the fenced yard.
