Private farmhouse on 5+ acres—comfortable, cozy and charming!

Welcome to The Farm! This is a fully restored 4-bedroom farmhouse in a park-like setting.

With 3 queen beds, 1 bunk bed, and 1 twin bed, this house sleeps up to 9 but is still cozy enough for two. The main level has a large kitchen-dining area overlooking the backyard and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are large antique windows throughout the house with beautiful light and views of the yard and farm from every window. While you will see plenty of deer, you won't see any neighbors!

As you come in the back door, you will enter the large mud room, with plenty of space to drop off your things off and get situated. The kitchen/dining room and the powder room are both right off the mud room, so you have easy access to and from the kitchen if you are grilling outside or need to unload the car.

In the kitchen you'll find a full size refrigerator, range, dishwasher, buther block countertops and plenty of cabinet and counter space, including a coffee bar with a coffee grinder for that morning brew. The solid dining room table seats 6 comfortably and is also a great place to set up your laptop. You'll have beautiful views through the bay window into the backyard as well as views of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Going through the mud room, you will enter the den where there is a glass-top desk where you can also set up a laptop. The main bedroom is off this den. This main bedroom has a queen bed and its own bathroom with a full size shower.

Through the den, you will go into the living room where you can enjoy watching shows on the oversized couch. Through the living room and up the stairs are the other 3 bedrooms and bathroom. The 2nd and 3rd bedroom both have queen beds, ceiling fans and plenty of dresser space. The 4th bedroom (the triple bunk room) actually comes off of the 3rd bedroom, as was a common layout in houses of this era (used to be a bedroom/nursery).

Out back, there is abundant outdoor space with picnic tables, a propane grill, wood firepit and hot tub.

At the farm, you can relax in the evenings watching TV, soaking in the hot tub, watching the sun set over the back yard and roasting s’mores by the fire. There are board games & cards for the family to enjoy. The living room TV has a Nintendo Classic Edition with 30 games from the 80s and 90s. Relive the games from your childhood!

Whether you're inside the farmhouse or out back, you will enjoy the privacy of being in the woods. One thing that is unique about this property is that although the farmhouse is private and secluded, DoorDash still delivers here and Uber/Lyft will pickup and drop-off. Downtown Roanoke is just 10 minutes from your door and the Wal-Mart Supercenter is just 5 minutes away. It's remarkable how there's so much space, so close to Roanoke, yet so private. From the outdoor area, you cannot see any other houses and they cannot see (or hear) you either.

The hosts provide all toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, laundry detergent, shampoo, body wash, propane and firewood. The hot tub receives regular professional maintenance. There is a full size washer & dryer and high speed WiFi throughout the house.

We love dogs and your pets are welcome, but we all need to be responsible. Pets have an additional cleaning fee due to the size of the house and the extra cleaning needed. Pets are not allowed on furniture or beds and must be crated if left inside unattended. Pet fee covers cleaning, but not damage. There is a small fenced in yard for dogs to “do their business.” The rest of the property is large and unfenced so be please careful with dogs that will chase wildlife or have a tendency to run off.

This 100+ year old house and property was fully restored by the current owners and has been hosting guests since 2022. Although new to the VRBO platform, the owners and this property are not new to hosting. Please note that the barn is accessed via a separate driveway and is not part of the stay. Owner may access the barn periodically during your stay. Due to the size of the property, there may be land and other exterior maintenance activities (mowing, driveway raking, clearing of brush, hot tub maintenance, trash pickup, etc.) during your time at the farm. This will only occur during normal daytime hours to minimize any impact on you.

Hidden Oasis
A private secluded conveniently located oasis that is perfect for friends and family to reconnect. The picnic tables, fire pit, hot tub, ample parking and room to roam are difficult to find so close to Roanoke and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Lovely Respite Close to Town
We had a really stay at The Farm. The house is bigger than it looks and with 2 floors there was plenty of shared and private space. We mostly cooked at the house (loved the grill!) after attending a convention conveniently only 5 minutes from the house. The yard was really lovely and enjoyed the quiet and the spotting of deers. Highly recommend!!

A Blue Ridge Beauty
As someone who lived in Roanoke, I can tell you there is no better listing for a family vacation. The property is beautiful and ‘peaceful’ just doesn’t do it justice. With the Blue Ridge boundary located on the back of the property, it’s made for an adventures spirit. The nearest entry/exit point to access the parkway for a beautifully scenic drive is less than a 1/4 mile away and everything else you could want to do or have access to in-town is a simple 15-20 minute drive. With downtown being even closer. Truly the whole experience from renting to our stay was great. Wonderful communication with the owners/property managers and home that is so well stocked I couldn’t think of anything else we truly would’ve needed. We will absolutely be back and hope to continue renting this property for our family visits for years to come!

AMAZING!
This was one of the best places we've ever stayed! The host Peter was very accommodating and was so helpful getting us in last minute after we had to leave a terrible property that we had also booked through VRBO. The house is on about 5 acres of quiet, private land with a family of deer that regularly visited us in the mornings to graze. The house is great! Very comfortable beds and fully stocked for families including a beautiful renovated kitchen, outdoor grill and a fantastic hot tub. The kids had a blast exploring the property and watching the wildlife. Will definitely be staying here again the next time we need a place in Roanoke.

AMAZING TIME!!!
The minute we drove up to this beautiful property and house we felt right at home!! We open the door to this gorgeous house and Peter and his wife had me a birthday card balloon and candy. Every time I messaged Peter he would get back to me very quickly and was a very respectful person. The only regret I had was we couldn’t stay longer! Thank you again Peter we will be back!!!

Family time on the farm.
From the moment you walk into the house, you feel like it's gonna be a special time. Everyone of our guests and my immediate family was charmed by the hardwood floors.The attention to detail and all of the amenities included with the house. We were meeting for a hard time for our family.We were bringing home my dad who died a few weeks ago. We had family coming from all across the united states and we needed a place that we could cut and meet and gather and talk and mostly there are thoughts about my dad's long life. The house provided that whether we were on the front porch In the living room, In the big farm style kitchen with all that light, Or out in the yard enjoying the fire pit.And sitting out watching the stars. The house just gave us peace which is exactly what we neede The host left a wonderful card and a bouquet of flowers.It was the first thing we saw when we walked in.It was a pleasure to sta We will be contacting the host to stay again within the year.
