Beautiful home set in a quiet neighborhood. The views of the hills from the front porch rocking chairs is very relaxing. The house had everything you would need and then some!! Loved the Hokie decor (Go Hokies). Our host was very responsive and the check in / check out was a breeze. We were in town for a family wedding, and Alum Ridge gave us the perfect escape from the wedding chaos! Thx Pat!!

Great Getaway

We were traveling into the area to attend the Virginia Tech commencement ceremonies. This was a fantastic find. Close enough to attend the events, but far enough to avoid the congestion in Blacksburg during this busy time of the year. When our usual dog sitter was unavailable, this allowed us to bring them along with us and they settled right in as well. We loved everything about the location and would highly recommend it to anyone considering traveling to the area.
