Blue Ridge Escapes in Blacksburg, Virginia

“Great place for the weekend! Close to the town of Blacksburg while still having privacy and enjoying the mountains. Just be aware you are closer to neighbors than expected. Had a great time, would recommend!”

“Beautiful view from the house, very secluded but easy to get to everywhere. Spacious home with beautiful views of the mountains sitting on a private lot, and very close to downtown. Looks like the house was not used for a while as there were dead bugs everywhere. Master bedroom has skylights which made it difficult to sleep after 6:00am. The bedroom on the main level dint have any blinds either.”

“Very private setting for being so close to town. We appreciated the last-minute booking option. We felt a bit distrusted when we were contacted about our dog. My husband came to pick us up and let the dog out of the car into the driveway to stretch her legs. The host's camera's picked up the presence of a dog and we were subsequently questioned us about her presence there. We were reminded of the no dog policy and asked to confirm that we understand the policy and confirm that we have not allowed dogs into the home. It made us feel like we were under suspicion and far less welcome. The cameras clearly showed no entry by the dog into the home, so we appreciated them backing off when we explained and reassured. But it spiked my blood pressure in the middle of an already-difficult time. Listing does indicate that there are cameras outside the property but it still makes you feel weird about the privacy of your stay. Every time I stepped out to take a walk I knew I was being watched.”

“WiFi didn’t work and was unable to connect to their (cheap/outdated) hot spot with any Apple products to do my work. Their AI chatbot was not helpful in resolving the issue. There were no updates about contacting the service provider (e.g., they called or sent an email and awaiting a response), only something along the lines of “thank you for your patience!” This would otherwise have been a great AirBNB venue. The view of the mountains was awesome, and for some reason the hotspot did work for the smart TV upstairs but was out of range for the one in the basement. Overall, I was disappointed.”

“This place is amazing. No words can describe the atmosphere around this place. It is quite, nestled in the mountains, surrounded by wildlife, and beautiful fields and garden. Next time we need to stay in Blacksburg, we will definitely look for this place.”
