Great spot for family celebration
I never do reviews, but was so impressed I am sharing. The property was exactly as pictured and described. Had booked a year in advance for my daughter’s graduation. It was a great place for a family gathering. We took advantage of kayaks, cornhole, and pool table. Everything was clean, grass mowed, and fire pit ready to go. Very happy with the property and process. Thanks

Wonderful stay!!
Spent Easter weekend with our daughter (who goes to VT), along with her siblings, great aunt, and our dog at this lovely property. It was so welcoming and homey and had everything we needed and more. Kitchen was well stocked, lots of movies for movie nights, many games and fun for the kids. Great location to go hiking (Cascade Falls is one) and fun places to eat (many where you can also take your pets). The local bakery, Sugar and Flour, had delicious coffee and treats and the owner gave us free cookies to enjoy on our travel home. Megan our host was so helpful and accommodating, offering a terrific list of places to visit and eat. Will be back so we can take advantage of the river right out back and fire up the fire pit for smores. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Great place for Virginia Tech game
We took our boys (14 and 11) to the Homecoming game at Virginia Tech. We wanted a place that wasn't too far away from Blacksburg (about 40 mins), but offered a peaceful retreat. This house was perfect and very clean! My kids loved the pool table. They also enjoyed watching the cows across the creek. We hiked the Cascades Trail, and the trailhead is a short drive from the house. They want to come to another Virginia Tech game, and asked to stay here again!

Loved our week!
We stayed a week here to visit family and enjoy the area. The house was roomy, comfortable, and clean. We loved getting out on the creek and the location was close to family with very reasonable drives into town for provisions. The internet worked well. There was no cell service at the house, but that was expected for the area. Our only suggestion is to have a few bowls/containers available to store food. The only Tupperware type container we found had a huge crack in the bottom. Otherwise, the house had everything you’d need to cook meals, etc. Thank for the wonderful hospitality!

The house is well equipped for just about everything to do inside and out. The weather did not cooperate for us to enjoy the outside amenities except for the front porch as it rained all the days of our stay. It is a very quiet area with very little traffic. We plan on coming again to the area and want to stay here, and hopefully have better weather! We would highly recommend staying here.

By the Creek
Much like the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Walker Creek Crossing has everything needed to be just right! Not too close to town, yet also not too far from conveniences, it provided the perfect getaway! Not too much or too little of anything, everything was simply “just right”. The house was lovely. Very clean, well maintained, and had more provisions and amenities than we’d expected. We especially enjoyed the sight and sound of the moving water, and look forward to visiting again during warmer months so that we can enjoy more of the outdoor activities as well. Great home, great location, great host, and great opportunity to reconnect with what’s really important. Would, and do, highly recommend!

Dear Susan, I am so sorry that you smelled an odor while visiting our home. We have never experienced this before or since your visit and have not had any other renters mention anything of the sort either. When our cleaning lady arrived immediately after your departure, she did not smell anything. We have since had the house checked for mold and levels are normal. We take great pride in providing a pristinely clean home for our guests to enjoy and once again, we are so sorry that this was your experience. Megan

Equipped like home
Six of us enjoyed a three-generation long weekend at this house and had a lovely time! The house itself was clean and well-kept, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciated having a well-stocked kitchen for cooking! You can tell this truly is someone’s vacation home and not just a rental property thanks to special details like that. The rain cut short our ability to really check out the river, which was too bad, but we took full advantage of the pool table downstairs and the games and movies. The one thing we looked for but couldn’t find were horseshoes for the setup outside, but that might have been user error on our part. Definitely would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay other than the floors being dirty, dishwasher did not work, wet towels were left in washer, bare minimum toilet and paper towels, and trash bags were provided. We stayed 2 years ago and loved the fact we could just sit back and relax and not have to worry about much of anything. Also door entry code was an issue. But we do lobe the house and all or the activities for the kids!

Lots of options at the house for outdoor activities - canoe, kayaks, fishing poles, horseshoe pit, etc. We would definitely return to the home again if our travels take us to the Blacksburg area.

Nice quiet get-away, but not set up for long term
Our family of six (four kids ages 2 to 10) stayed for almost a month! The kids loved the bunk bed and pool table in the game room. Very quiet and lovely river view you can hear at night with an open window. There is no cell phone reception at the house which we didn't find out until after booking it. The internet is Satellite data which ran out within days causing the internet to slow down to the point I couldn't check e-mails in the evening. Streaming anything isn't an option. This caused a significant problem for me when trying to work remotely. The back deck sliding door doesn't have a lock, but does have a stick to prevent it from being opened. This caused us to worry at night because of having small kids. There is a horse shoe pit which isn't well maintained so it has weeds. The front door lock is a digital combo which worked intermittently. It failed to work one night locking us out of the house. We didn't have cell phone reception so we couldn't call the host. We were able to use WiFi from the front porch to e-mail the host and fortunately she had a hidden spare key we used to gain access. There are two small garbage cans which fill up fast for a family of 6. Garbage is picked up once a week so by the time we left we had a lot of extra garbage we had no place for. We organized it into a pile, but the host wasn't pleased to find it regardless. In summary, it is a great place for a weekend stay, but in its current state is not set up for a family long term.

Thank you for taking the time to make a review regarding your family's stay at Walker Creek Crossing. When you booked, we let you know that longterm rentals were not our norm and that the internet was the best we could possibly offer in the area - satellite. We added as much data as we could, paying for additional data multiple times throughout your stay. We offered for our regular cleaning crew to assist your family with your stay, but you ensured us you were tidy and that that would be unnecessary. Instead, upon check-out, we found trash strewn about the house, holes in the walls and doors, carpets damaged, leather furniture ruined, and many other instances of permanent property damage that have had to be fixed before we can welcome future renters. The back deck that does not have a lock is over 20 feet from the ground and has never been an issue for previous renters (or intruders!). The front door lock being digital has worked beautifully for every renter before your family and we'll hope that was an isolated incident or work to remedy the problem. Thank you for letting us know about the weeds in the horseshoe pit - we'll be sure to get that cleaned up for future guests' enjoyment. All the best to you and your family. Megan

Family including 2 kids (10 and 14) plus dog visited this lovely home and had a great time. The home is lovely, with all the amenities - I appreciated the kitchen, which was stocked with every appliance you'd need; kids loved the pool table; and the fisher people in the family loved the river right behind the house. Super clean, and great location to Virginia Tech and hiking locations nearby. Lots of nearby (30 mins) options for restaurants, or cook there. A beautiful, quiet retreat in mid-winter that our family really appreciated. Thank you for sharing your lovely river house with us!

On the Surface it looks good, but actually it's poorly maintained
This is an adorable house and had the potential to be perfect. The house was clean and furnishings comfortable. The overall maintenance of the house was disappointing. Many of the kitchen and bath cabinet doors were falling off. The microwave door was duct taped on. A bedroom door was broken off it's hinges preventing it to be closed and so there was no privacy for the adult couple using that room. When we reported that issue, the owner said "sorry, thank you for letting us know". No offer to repair it.

The house is very much as advertised and is thoughtfully stocked so you don’t have to make multiple trips to the store or bring supplies. The pool table was a fun treat. Great for a few nights in a very pretty area. We were unable to access the home due to the door code being wrong but eventually were able to make contact with the property manager who gave us a different code.

Nice place, I wish I knew a few things before arriving.
We enjoyed our stay and being able to disconnect from the world literally. You are in the middle of nowhere here. You have to drive to town (15 min) to make a phone call. The landline phone did not work during our stay, and the WiFi is satellite, so while you can get email and texts, that is about it. No surfing the web or doing any research, the service is not strong enough, and it is very slow. The kitchen was fully stocked, and it does have a smaller fridge, and the bottom shelf was broken previously. The property is lovely and spacious. There is some delayed maintenance that should be addressed as it shows it is a rental home.

We stayed here with my wife's family and it was a great place to stay. There were 4 adults and 4 kids. We had plenty of room, the kitchen was great for cooking, and the pool room downstairs was a fun space. While it was cold and therefore we did not use the provided boats, we still enjoyed being on the river and doing a little hiking.
