With that historic charm comes a few quirks we want guests to be aware of: • Quiet hours are observed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. While the home is generally quiet, you may occasionally hear normal sounds from the upstairs unit. Light sleepers may prefer our upper-level listing, Blue Ridge Bliss. • Due to historic preservation guidelines, some original features—such as windows—cannot be replaced, and you may notice minor drafts at times. • Older homes often have a more segmented floor plan, which differs from modern open-concept layouts. • The home has radiator heat (very cozy!) and window A/C units. Some guests find the A/C units louder than central air. • Original hardwood floors may creak or slope slightly due to age; they have been fully inspected and are completely solid. All that said, we believe these details are part of what makes your stay special—and we’re confident you’ll love the warmth, comfort, and character of this classic Roanoke home. ________________________________________ Did you know Roanoke was originally named BIG LICK? Roanoke was originally known as Big Lick, a name that came from a large salt lick that attracted wildlife—and Native American hunters—to the area. The settlement grew around this natural resource in the early 1800s before being renamed Roanoke in 1882, just as the railroad arrived and transformed the town into a major transportation and commercial hub. That blend of rugged Appalachian roots and railroad-era growth still shapes the character of Roanoke today.
