Hotels near Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport - BCB, Blacksburg

Blacksburg is a small town with a lot to offer! The food and activities are abundant! We always go to Cabos , The cellar, and Mill Mountain coffee to eat. But there are so many other great places; Mellow mushroom, Greens, top of the stairs, Carol Lee Donuts...etc. My VT alumni tells me the hiking and apple picking is convenient, lots of grocery stores, and boutiques. The town is very friendly and clean. I see why my kids all attended VT. You can't beat the comradery during the VT football games; the game itself is electric!!

It's a lovely college town with several historic things to see and a beautiful horticultural garden. I was pleasantly surprised that the Smithfield plantation tour really strove to tell the lives of the enslaved people who were there and not just the owners. There is hiking and kayaking within less than half an hour. I recommend the hike to Cascade Falls and kayaking on the New River. Also, there are two wineries nearby. We also happened to be there for the solstice festival, where several streets were blocked off, and there was music, food vendors and craft booths. We went to an excellent Brazilian restaurant called Gaucho's that's in an unremarkable looking strip mall, but don't be fooled -- it's the best food I've eaten in a long time!

Blacksburg is the location of Virginia Tech, a major university. The city revolves around the university. It is in a rural area near the Blue Ridge Mountain and major highways. The main reason for going to Blacksburg would probably be related to the university.

Great college town! If you're involved with Virginia Tech, this is probably one of the cleanest and best places! It is so easy to drive a few blocks to campus or walk seconds away from many places to eat, bank, shop, etc.

The only reason I didn't give a higher rating to Blacksburg was due to our arrival date. We arrived the night before Thanksgiving and almost every restaurant and bar was closed -- no place to eat in town (if we had known, we would've simply planned to eat at the hotel since the restaurant there looked very nice). We eventually did find an open microbrewery with a very good menu and a friendly, knowledgeable bartender. I wish I could remember the name to give them a shout out! But having graduated from VA Tech, I will always love Blacksburg!
