| THIS WAS A GREAT PLACE TO RELAX, AND ENJOY THE OUTDOORS. IT WAS VERY PEACEFUL WITH VERY LITTLE VEHICLE TRAVEL, VERY QUIET. LOTS OF TRAILS TO HIKE AND BOOKS TO READ. THIS IS A MUST EVERY YEAR. THE CARETAKERS -BERRNIE & JEANIE ARE THE BEST FOLKS EVER--MADE YOU FEEL RIGHT AT HOME. LOTS OF WILDLIFE TO SEE. I GIVE IT A 10 FOR SURE. |

I thank God for you both. Thank you for letting us "take over" the Olde Surber Station. Truly God is here in the quiet of the morn! I pray that He would bless you with His presence and bring you both ever closer to Him.

A good comfortable historic home beautifully restored. And not a museum. A real living house where it is lovely to live. The charm of "travel time" works perfectly. Congratulations for the absence of TV and dishwasher, both noisy disturbances.

Being a Botetourt native now transplanted to Quebec, Canada, it's been really special to come back to my roots. ____ and I left 1 foot of SNOW behind so you can imagine how the warm weather (up in the 80s some afternoons) and all these glorious spring flowers have uplifted our spirits... so much beauty all around!! Of course, your homeplace is a real gem and we've loved living here this week doing things we like the best: Day #1 - biking the old rail bed as far as we could. Day #2: canoeing with you two...the greatest of guides. Day #3: Hiking Roaring Run and the Iron Ore Trail. ... Wow, what more could one wish for?

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful homeplace! Staying here brought back so many childhood memories of staying at "Grandma's". Picking bluegrass music in the old cabin room was a special treat. We love what you have done to preserve this piece of history! We are looking forward to future stays at Surber Station.

Your hard work and attention to detail in restoring Surber Station have made this a super vacation spot. For 31 years I've been coming to the area--this is the best visit ever. The forests have never been prettier or our hunt more enjoyable. What great people you are!

My daughter from Quebec and I have so much enjoyed renting your guest house. Over just a stay of great brevity, I have absorbed every single detail, all thoughtful, chosen to involve the era of the 30s. Not one detail has been overlooked! With the leaves just beginning to turn, it is perfect. Great calm and no stress!

Thank You! It is people like you who make ths a wonderful world to live in. The love and preservation of the past of Olde Surber Station can be felt within every room of the house. The convenience of today's world is so overshadowed by the past that it is real easy to allow yourself to flow back in time. Thank you for the wonderful love and care that you have given to this home. We will return many times in the future, God willing!

What a fabulous experience! Surber Station has it all--character, warmth and personality; it certainly mirrors the wonderful couple that restored it and has shared it with us.... The icing on the cake was the AWESOME jam session. Thank you especially for the banjo lesson. I can't wait to get my own! The only thing we will do differently next time, is stay longer!
