Superior apartment

My friends and I had a great stay at Fiddler’s Roost. Brian and Heather were great hosts, having so many nice and thoughtful amenities throughout the apartment. In addition, they were very communicative and responded very quickly with answers to questions we had. We definitely plan to stay there again!

A lovely home

Our stay was very enjoyable. I can tell the homeowners genuinely care about their guests and their home. The decor was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. My absolute favorite thing about this place was the shower! Plenty of hot water and excellent water pressure!!! The location was noisy since we were so close to the road, this was disruptive since we are used to a quiet home in the woods. Also, as you should expect, there is a limited number of stores and restaurants in the area. That said, we weren’t looking to visit a city so it suited us just fine. Parking was a challenge because the neighbors parked their mini bus in the center of the only 3 available parking spots. However, that is certainly not a reflection of the homeowners. The home was clean but not perfect, such as a few hairs found on the toilet and in the shower. All in all, 4 out of 5 stars! (If you imagine all the luxuries of a 5-star hotel, this place isn’t that. But it’s lovely!)

Mother daughter weekend.

Absolutely lovely. Very clean! Plenty of space and privacy. Owners touched base to make sure everything was good via messaging through the app, but they were not obtrusive. I would absolutely stay here again next time we visit VA. Thank you for a memorable and relaxing weekend.

Downtown Galax

Everything was excellent about the property. The property manager checked in to make sure that everything was going well and that nothing was needed. The home was fully stocked with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen had all the dishware and cutlery for cooking. The bathroom had more than enough towels and accessories. The air conditioning and hot water worked well. The location of the property was convenient to everything that Galax and the New River Valley have to offer. The home was spotless and modern. This will be my first choice to stay when I next return to Galax.

Smoke on the mountain

We stayed here for a long weekend to attend the smoke on the mountain festival in Galax! It was so clean and cozy. The owners were extremely nice and helpful. The snacks & drinks were very appreciated :) we had 3 adults and 2 children (ages 3 & 5) and we had plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably!

What a great experience!

My husband and I were in Galax to bike the New River Trail. This property provided secured indoor storage for our bikes - big plus! The location of the property is excellent for walking to downtown and biking the trail. We had one small issue with the TV at the property. We reached out to Brian and Heather and they immediately went above and beyond to make sure we had a working TV- he delivered a NEW TV to the property! I am a bit of an "appliance snob". The appliances in this property are excellent and easy to use - they were super clean!. The instant hot water system is great! We are already looking at dates in the spring to come back to this property. If you are looking for a property in Galax, stop now, and book this one!

Cozy spot on the way

My wife and I stopped here with our kids on the way down to my sister's wedding recently. The place was just the right size for us. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was clean, the whole place was just right. The hosts were very accommodating, and even helped us out a couple of times during our stay. It was even within walking distance to part of the New River Trail. Don't hesitate to book here!

Galax VA Get away

Enjoyed our stay. Very quiet. Close drive to many sites we had on our check it out list. Hopefully we can stay again in the future. Should have realized it was upstairs. :-( Hubby had knee replaced earlier this year and still was ouchy. Our host and hostesses shared many locations of interest. Other guests also shared in the guestbook.

Galax Fishing Trip

Fiddlers Roost Apartment was immaculately clean and tastefully furnished, with everything provided for a wonderful stay Brain and Heather are great hosts and extremely accommodating. Excellent location. After returning from a scenic 15-20 minute drive to my fishing spot, it was not necessary to get back in my truck as I was able to walk downtown to dinner. I'm already looking forward to my next stay.
