My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend here relaxing and exploring Roanoke. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, from dishes to toiletries. The location was particularly excellent - right on the greenway, which we used to bike to coffee and restaurants. Only nitpicky observation was that, although the house got beautiful light, all of the windows only had thin curtains - something to keep in mind for anyone with kids or those who need a darker room to sleep when it’s light out. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!

We did not stay in the property. After checking in we discovered a radon mitigation system in the basement. We would not have been concerned if it showed that it was functioning and had been inspected recently. It showed nothing since 2018. Out of an abundance of caution we called the owner and asked for a refund, which he readily agreed to. It is a very cute place and well appointed, so we were very disappointed to make this decision. We are still waiting for refund from VRBO for their fee.

We had a good trip. We couldn’t get the toaster to work and the kitchen seemed a little light on moving bowls And Saran Wrap. The downstairs water pressure in the sink is low. Thanks for a great stay!

This is a cozy and lovely property. There were a few maintenance issues one of which made for a restless night as the HVAC was extremely loud every time it cut on or off. Hopefully, will be resolved with a clean filter. But it’s a really beautiful house and the location could not be better.

We had such a lovely time staying in the house! Everything was clean well thought out. We even got a couple of “free concerts“with the venue that was right across the river. We sat out on the back patio and got to listen both Friday and Saturday night.

The River House is a convenient place to stay. It is right on the walking path and next to the river. It was too chilly for us to use the path or the lovely back porch but we have already made plans to come back. There was ample on street parking. One queen bedroom and bath were in the finished basement giving each couple privacy. We enjoyed our stay.

Great location! This house is close to downtown and to all other sections and sites of Roanoke. It is clean and furnished perfectly for a relaxing visit. It has a well appointed kitchen for cooking, take out or just morning coffee. The basement is situated as a private suite for a couple's privacy while upstairs is perfect for 2 other couples or singles. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone slept so well. A walking / running path is just steps away from the backdoor for early morning walks/runs. The owner is accessible and very accommodating. Definitely in the top five VRBOs we have rented.

My sisters and I had a great stay here. There were four of us and it was very comfortable and clean. We loved the back deck and view of the greenway and a Roanoke River. We walked the greenway every morning and got to see the murals painted on the bridge underpasses. The neighborhood was safe and quiet and close to everything we did. Lots of food and breweries. The mill mountain star is close-and was a fun trek one night after dinner! Would definitely stay here again. Well stocked with comfortable beds.

We utilize VRBO and Airbnb frequently. This was the cleanest house we have ever stayed at. You could smell hints of the bleach and the towels and the sheets which gave me peace of mind that everything was nice and clean and fresh after showering or when getting into the bed. The rooms were well appointed & beautifully decorated. We would recommend this for any family especially younger ones. The stairs to the lower basement finished level are a little steep but I did manage it with a broken foot! So it is doable! Friday nights in the summertime, there is live music from 7 to 10 down at the bridge which is about four houses from this location, they cut off promptly at 10 PM so it’s not a real issue except the music is quite loud. The neighborhood is great and friendly and there is a walking path along the river where people jog and walk.

The house was perfect for my family. Everything was comfortable, clean, and super cozy! The convenience of being able to walk to the hospital to visit a family member was wonderful and a huge stress relief. The walk/run/bike path that runs behind the property and along the river was amazing. Absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area!

This place was perfect. It had plenty of space, was clean, and close to everything. Initially, it was a little chilly downstairs, but once we turned the heat up a couple degrees, it was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needed a spot to rent in Roanoke.

The home was comfortable for the 4 of us in town for a girls' trip. We had some problems (a water leak in the basement ceiling, front door lock not working), but the property owner was quick to respond and troubleshoot. The basement bedroom area is not a bedroom; it's one half of the downstairs rec room. The downstairs bathroom was not in good condition. Street parking is plentiful and we felt safe in the neighborhood. The river is not visible from the property.

My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend here relaxing and exploring Roanoke. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, from dishes to toiletries. The location was particularly excellent - right on the greenway, which we used to bike to coffee and restaurants. Only nitpicky observation was that, although the house got beautiful light, all of the windows only had thin curtains - something to keep in mind for anyone with kids or those who need a darker room to sleep when it’s light out. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!

My sisters and I had a great stay here. There were four of us and it was very comfortable and clean. We loved the back deck and view of the greenway and a Roanoke River. We walked the greenway every morning and got to see the murals painted on the bridge underpasses. The neighborhood was safe and quiet and close to everything we did. Lots of food and breweries. The mill mountain star is close-and was a fun trek one night after dinner! Would definitely stay here again. Well stocked with comfortable beds.

We enjoyed being close to the Greenway, downtown Roanoke and Mill Mountain (home of the star).

We parked our cars Friday night and did not move them until checkout time. We walked everywhere! A rain with lightening had us catch Uber for $9 to get back to the house at 9 p.m. We enjoyed the adventures of the space.

The house was perfect for my family. Everything was comfortable, clean, and super cozy! The convenience of being able to walk to the hospital to visit a family member was wonderful and a huge stress relief. The walk/run/bike path that runs behind the property and along the river was amazing. Absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area!

Great property near the river. Walking distance to Starr brewing and Blue Cow Ice Cream. Great location for hiking in the Roanoke area. Would stay here again!

We traveled to Roanoke for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful stay. My mom was able to cook the whole Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen and I only needed to bring a few items that were not available (they arrived the day before me). A very well stocked kitchen! The house is very cozy and nicely decorated. I absolutely loved the basement room. It was so cozy and spacious. The beds were very comfortable. It is in a cute neighborhood that is close to everything (not walking distance unless you want to cross the large bridge but less than a 5 minute ride to the places we went) You can even see the star at night. Has a nice walking path behind the house and a large deck with a view of the river. I highly recommend staying here. James was a wonderful host and was responsive. Thank you for the great trip!
