Experience the splendor of a Blue Ridge Mountain Getaway in Virginia's Roanoke Valley! Exploration into the Roanoke Valley dates back to the 17th century. The area was known for its salt marshes which led to the area being known as "Big Lick." Today the Roanoke Valley is made up of the City of Roanoke, City of Salem, the counties of Roanoke and Botetourt and the Town of Vinton.
