Unbeatable location

100% of guests in the past year gave this location a 5-star rating.
A vibrant and welcoming one-bedroom cottage on a quiet street in Troutville Virginia just off of Lee Highway (US Route 11). The rose-framed porch, cozy kitchen, and comfortable bedroom will tempt you to stay in, but its location is also ideal for venturing out.

Approximately 20 minutes from downtown Roanoke, less than a mile from the Appalachian Trail, and close to both the Blue Ridge Parkway and Hollins University.

💚There is a brand new washer and dryer in the unfinished basement. We use the rest of the space for storage, and it’s only accessible from the outside not from the main part of the cottage.
💚central heating and cooling as well as high-speed WiFi.
💚 If you’re staying more than a week, you can expect fresh linens for the kitchen, bath, and bedroom delivered weekly, as well as fresh flowers to replace those that welcomed you when you arrived, and any soap, shampoo, cleaning supplies, or paper products the cottage may be low on.

Guest access
You will be able to access the entire main floor of the house with bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room. The basement isn't finished but has the washer and dryer.

Other things to note
* There is a train track across the highway from the house that can get noisy once or twice a day.
* We are working on landscape and other small projects outside the house. We will coordinate with guests and avoid inconvenience as much as possible.
*Water sometimes puddles between the basement door and washer after heavy rains. We’re working on resolving this issue but can’t absolutely promise that it will be completely dry.
