    This is our second stay and Clay Corner Inn and it keeps getting better and better! Nicky and Rick are wonderful and we were quite sad when we left as we felt like we were leaving two great friends behind. The breakfast is delightful and everything is cooked to perfection. Always a variety of food and your never leave hungry! Nicky and Rick went out of their way to make us feel at home and helped us celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday at the Inn. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spotless and the whole Inn has the wonderful aroma of fresh baked goodies. We had a great time swapping stories with the owners and always felt at home. They were both so much fun to spend time with and always accommodating!! Our daughter has two more years at Va Tech so we are looking forward to many more trips to Blacksburg and staying at the Clay Corner Inn!

    Our only place in Blacksburg

    The Clay Corner Inn offers prices comparable to nearby hotels but is much more comfortable and having the new owners resident has raised high standards even higher. The variety of rooms and living areas allows ample privacy and comfort without feeling boxed in as at normal hotels. The location, near Tech and the Main Street entertainment area is excellent and with the new owners even the cookies are better!

    Outstanding Place to Stay in Blacksburg!

    My husband I are season ticket holders to VA Tech football games, and Clay Corner is our favorite place to stay when we are in town. We have been staying there since they reopened in 2008. The inn was recently sold and is now under new ownership (Rick and Nikki), but not much has changed (except adding in some new breakfast options, which we love!). They have eight rooms to choose from - two in the main house, and three each in the connecting houses. The rooms are spacious and clean, the inn is walking distance to everything, and the innkeepers and their staff are very welcoming. Off-street parking is provided. Breakfast is provided, too! We love staying in the two houses connected to the inn because they have their own kitchens and living areas. There is also great outdoor space, with covered porches and a pool connected to the property. Obviously, the inn is in high demand during big weekends, like football games, parent's weekend, and graduation. So, plan ahead! But, it's worth the extra effort to stay here - we just love it!

    I adored my stay here

    I just spent a night at the Clay Corner Inn and couldn't have enjoyed it more--it was so delightful. The people are great, the food is amazing, and the accommodations were lovely. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks, you two!
