The River House Close to Everything


* We are activally cleaning and sanitizing this rental with extra sanitation methods with each stay.

The River House is an adorable place to stay right on the Roanoke River and Roanoke Green Way. Rent bikes 500 feet from the house, walk to downtown, float the river with tubes, kayaks, paddle boards, or canoe rentals available! So much to do in Roanoke and you are in the heart of it!

A 100 foot high star atop a mountain and visible from miles around welcomes you to the "Star City of the South," a great beginning for your weekend getaway to this city rich in culture, history, fun, and entertainment. Close to the star is the Mill Mountain Zoo, where you'll see the endangered Snow Leopard, Amur Tiger and Red Wolf, along with 40-plus other animal species. The Center in the Square is the city's cultural hub, where you can catch a Broadway-quality show at the Mill Mountain Theater or hear the celebrated Roanoke Symphony. Museums are everywhere, and whether your interest lies in art, history, science or transportation, you'll find a museum to match it.

Virginia’s Blue Ridge is home to an impressive collection of locally-produced craft beer, wine, and spirits. Our setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains makes it an ideal location for growing grapes, as well as producing outstanding craft beer with the rich water sources in streams and rivers that flow through the mountains.

There's something to keep you occupied and entertained every minute in this environmentally-conscious, friendly and very welcoming Virginia city.

Wonderful, Cozy Home on the River
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!

Comfortable, convenient
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.

River House Stay
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.

Perfect for what we needed.
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.

Convenient Location
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 house and location
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!

Family Christmas 2022. A relaxing visit while still experiencing so much that Roanoke has to offer.
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.
