Montgomery County, VirginiaMontgomery County, Virginia which is part of the new river valley is perfectly situated in Southwest Virginia. And it’s home to breathtaking scenic vistas, cool towns, a very famous University, authentic farm-to-table restaurants, the arts, live music and enough space to sprawl out in the great outdoors! Bring the family and include the university town of Blacksburg, the charming community of Christiansburg and as many points as you can around Montgomery County on your next unforgettable vacation!

I highly recommend a summer or fall visit to Montgomery County. During fall, the foliage is gorgeous and the students are bust at work and play. A winter visit may provide the best value. Winter in Montgomery County is perfect for sipping cups of cocoa or sitting by a roaring fireplace at one of the bed & breakfasts in the area.
