Lovely semi-private setting! The pool is heated & the enormous screened in porch was awesome. Lots of fenced-in green space for kids to run as well. The double bed was the only drawback for us - not the most comfortable for 2 tall adults but doable for a short visit. We will still likely return, especially if a sleeper sofa ever makes its way in!

Beautiful spot, lovely porch and pool.

It was more than I could ever have expected even though the photos are exactly as it is. Thank you for a wonderful weekend of peace and beauty.

Laura is an exceptional host who has thought of every little detail. The property was beyond clean and was even more incredible than the pictures show. I will definitely return to this beautiful property.

The property is very clean and private. The host took care of everything - from coffee k-cups to pool toys, from outdoor grill to extra pillows, from board games to cable TV! And of course the heated pool is awesome and deep!

We had the most wonderful weekend at this gorgeous little oasis. The pictures don’t do it justice! The property is spacious, private and immaculately kept. Our host thought of everything (all the comforts of home!) and has decorated the house so beautifully. The outdoor space was a dream with an awesome outdoor kitchen, plenty of seating areas and a dining table. My kids swam in the pool all weekend. We can’t wait to book another stay!

This property is just spectacular! Clean, cozy, friendly hosts. The privacy and seclusion right in town in unheard of. The pool is to die for. I can't say enough good things. I hope we can return soon!

Can’t wait to go back!

This place epitomizes peace. The house and surroundings are immaculate. There are sitting areas everywhere that beckon: screened porch, pool, fire pit, fireplace...it's an enclave surrounded by lush greens and curious wildlife. But very close to shopping and dining and everything Roanoke has to offer; and Laura is a wonderful host.

Nice, quaint place in a suburban area

Seclusion in a city is unusual, but the hosts of this cottage have the perfect spot for some downtime. I will be trying to come back!

The guest house was beautiful. Although we enjoyed it in the fall, I could really see this as a great place for the summer, with it's outdoor pool, gas grill, and huge wraparound screen-in-porch.

We really enjoyed our time in Laura’s cottage. The pool and the porch are absolutely great. Our kids had the best time swimming and playing in the porch. Laura was always very quick to respond to any of our questions. Great experience.

Had an unforgettable weekend getaway at Laura's poolhouse. We enjoyed the pool, the grill, and the big screen TV when we were not racing. Laura was easy to communicate with, made us feel welcome, and left us plenty of privacy. Hope to return next year!

The pool was amazing & the wrap around porch was a nice addition.

We stayed for a week with a family of 4, including two boys aged 9 and 11. Upon arrival we were greeted by Laura the owner who gave us a tour of the place and general advice on activities in Roanoke. We used the rental as a base to explore Roanoke and surrounding mountains and the pool was a perfect way to cool off after a day out in the summer heat. The property was very clean, well stocked, including a generous variety of k-cups, snacks and even a bottle of bubbly. With two active boys we used the washer and dryer more than once which allowed us to pack light. The screened porch made for pleasant time outside in the evenings. Even though the property is rated for more guests, we felt that 4 is really the max since the place inside is limited and would probably feel too crowded for a larger party. The only thing truly missing was a stove top since the two- burner portable electric unit was extremely slow to heat anything. We used the outside grill and the side burners instead which proved very efficient.

My group loved staying at Laura's place! It was simply lovely and had a wonderful overall vibe. The surrounding yard and neighborhood were beautiful. Laura was a great communicator as well. Thank you, Laura, for a fantastic stay!

A lovely, lovely place to get away. It was perfect in all ways.

Beautiful private cottage with gorgeous porch and pool. Has everything you need for a perfect getaway! Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Wonderful time at beautiful setting. Great host

We stayed here for just one night when several family members were all going to be in the Roanoke area. The house completely met our expectations for a comfortable place to visit and get a good night's rest. Wish the weather would have been a bit warmer for us to enjoy the beautiful outdoor living space as well. Laura was wonderful to meet us, show us around the house, and make us feel at home.
