Family-friendly vacation rentals in Blacksburg

We wanted to do something unique & different for our anniversary & this did NOT disappoint. From the “main” road you can see the 3 red cabooses up on the hill & our hearts smiled. They recently had storms & we could see where the flood waters deteriorated the sides of the driveway but it was still wide enough for us to pass another small vehicle if needed. Office Check in was a breeze and took less than five mins before we were standing in our getaway train(caboose) which is on a real track! We were the only ones staying this weekend but if others were present, there was plenty of room. Our furbabies throughly enjoyed having a large field in front of the cabooses to run in. The views from the swings were breathtaking especially during the sunsets. Once Inside, we enjoyed the comforts of home (except for a stove). The hotness of the water & the relaxing hot tub added to our experience. Some things were dated but that is to come with the territory. We hope to visit again in the fall.

Wonderful, clean, cozy place to stay for the weekend. Quiet and comfortable. Well stocked with everything needed. Looking forward to another stay here in a few weeks!

Shirleyann is a friendly and welcoming host with a quiet and peaceful property 10 minutes from downtown Floyd. The BnB is comfortable, clean, and has everything you need, including yummy breakfast foods in the fridge. We look forward to staying there again.

I had the most wonderful stay at Bliss Cabin, to say the least. From the initial photos of the writing desk and yoga deck, to the curious graveled path winding around the property lined with life and decorative details, I was totally immersed in the love and care that was so palpably present! Kathryn & Luke were absolutely lovely, so helpful, and incredibly accommodating! My recommendations while on the property: build and tend to a fire. Journal at the writing desk while playing Miles Davis. Take an early cold plunge in the river, do a round of Wim Hof breathing, then run up to take a hot shower at their beautiful abode. Chat with Luke, have tea with Kathryn. Do yoga on the deck. Say hello to the frogs. Express your inner musician with their drums and sound bowls. Let your soul free here!

We stayed at The Frances home July 6th thru July 13th, 2024. The house is so much nicer in person, the pictures just don't it justice. The beds were fine, the kitchen is well stocked and the place was very clean. Tons of room on the lower level to spread out and enjoy the pool table and ping pong. The lot is sloped but not too steep and they have a very nice, concrete walkway. The owners allow use of their kayaks, canoe and tiki hut on the dock. The hot tub on the lower deck was a great way to relax and enjoy the lake view. The house is in a no wake cove and just across the water from Jake's Place. Super close to the SML bridge and Bridgewater marina. Jake's has a restaurant, camper park and beach area with a slide. They do provide internet although we struggled many times with the connections, just power cycled their router and it was back up and running. T-mobile is the provider, I believe. The one major negative is no trash service, not even trash cans. Gotta fix that...

Beautiful location, place as described. Jacuzzi was great. Lots of hot water. Good water pressure, good shower. Bed was comfortable. Donnie was helpful and responsive.

Beautiful scenery. Fully stocked house (THANK YOU). They have kayaks, a wonderful outdoor firplace/gas grill (with a small fridge and microwave as well! Hightly recommend!

What a wonderful place to spend a few days relaxing and exploring this part of Virginia. It's beautiful and so full of interesting places to visit. The farmhouse was so nice -clean and well-stocked. And, of course, the fresh eggs were the 'icing on the cake." We enjoyed our stay very much.

I had a fantastic time staying in this cottage, I felt right at home and enjoyed the "cabin getaway" feel. It was a very relaxing place to come back to after all the hiking I did in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was also pretty centrally located for anything I did in Roanoke, and had no problems getting Ubers to and from the location if needed. Patricia was very kind and responsive, and does a great job of maintaining the property. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am out this way for hiking! I highly recommend staying here!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We hosted a my hokie son and a few of his hokie friends for Easter dinner and this home was perfect for what we needed. The home was spacious, clean and the location to the campus was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Very nice cabin . Stayed a few times . Always clean and tidy

Location. Is insane. Can’t get better. Host was amazing. Could not have asked for a better host.

This was our first time staying in a yurt, and it was amazing! We arrived at dusk and wished we had more time to explore the beautiful surroundings. We definitely want to stay here again!

Had a great stay at Josef’s place. Great location and walkable to everything in Downtown Blacksburg, as well as the campus. The home is very clean and has everything needed for a weekend trip. Would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved this place. It was peaceful after a hectic day on campus but not to far of a drive. We absolutely loved the goats and the donkeys and perfect location for our two Goldens. Warren was great and a great host. We look forward to coming back for many years. Thanks for sharing your place with us.

An absolutely beautiful home set in the rolling farmlands. Exactly what we were looking for. Close to the awesome town of Floyd.

Great location at Bernard’s Landing - right next to the club house with the pool and other amenities. Very large space that could easily accommodate 4 couples. Would definitely stay here again!

Giulia has a very nice apartment that was clean with plenty of room. Although close to town, there is a remote feel as the house is surrounded by woods - a definite plus for me.

We had a lovely stay at John’s condo, the view is beautiful! We enjoyed the indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. SML is such a relaxing place, there isn’t a ton of “stuff” to do and I think that’s why we like it so much. It really forces you to relax and take in the beauty of the surrounding areas. We did the baby goat snuggles activity that is suggested and it was so much fun and such a great family experience, we highly recommend it! Thank you John, we look forward to booking again in the future 🙂

Great place to stay. Easy access and everything was clean and in order We would stay here again

Place was just as advertised, Bernard's landing has great amenities.

We had an amazing stay! Such a great location and lots to do inside the community. I recommend it!
