Bobcat Bungalow

Comments From Our Guests




August 7-11, 2021
"We had such a relaxing and wonderful stay! Thought we might miss the A/C on mid-80s days, but not at all. The fans and the mtn. breezes were wonderful! Sunrise in the rockers on the porch was amazing! We slept so well in the beds, I took a picture of the make and of the pillows too. Having the trails to stretch our legs was a nice bonus. This was a perfect base for Floyd, where we saw "Seldom Scene", and Galax for the Fiddler's Convention. We also enjoyed a wonderful golf course ( Auburn Hills) in Riner one day. Hated to leave!"

"Such a blessing to enjoy your family's company and this beautiful cabin. I had the best night of sleep in months! Enjoyed coffee on the porch this morning, listening to the birds serenading us!" "Awesome cabin and wonderful setting! Thank you so much for your hospitality."

"Years ago as children we would look up at the sky and could see the two radio towers in Christiansburg, VA. Who would ever know that they would lead us to this cabin 30 years later with my soulmate by my side. As strange as it may seem to some, we have been searching for each other for years and this cabin completed that when we saw the two towers. We knew each other as kids, we played together on Little Creek in Bland, Va at my great-grandmother's house. All that time having no idea that we were meant to be tothether. Then as we got older we both comtinued to look at those radio towers, always wondering why we were both so fascinated with them. Then years later we crossed paths again on I 81 because of a wreck, causing a traffic backup. We were side by side looking at each other and we knew we had met before. Three months later we met again, and two years later we are here in this cabin on our honeymoon. Our first night here we were amazed while standing on the porch when we saw those two radio towers in the distance again. Seeing that just completed our honeymoon. From now on this cabin will hold a very special place in our hearts, and we will definitely be back again. A very peaceful get away and a great backdrop for our honeymoon. With views that hold something special in our hearts forever."

"The quiet and isolation here brought so much peace to us. Three amazing days of pure bliss! So much attention to detail in the cabin. We brought equipment to cook all weekend - but you already had everything we could ever need. Thank you so much for this beautiful place that we can retreat to - we will be back MANY times!"

"My husband and I chose to stay at the Bobcat Bungalow for our 37 year anniversary. It proved to the perfect choice. The peacefulness of the cabin was just what we needed. We were blessed with beautiful sunrises and beautiful sunsets. We even experiences a severe downpour of hail and heavy rain on Friday afternoon. The sky cleared perfectly for us to make our way to the Country Store Jamboree. It was the perfect ending to our amazing get-away. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of heaven with us! We will see you again."

"Once again a great time at the cabin! We've been here quite a few times now. It was just my wife and me and our two dogs, Rosco and Poppy. We really enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets. Our son came over from Blacksburg for dinner one night as well. Thanks for all you do to make it a great stay."
Burke, VA

March 5-6, 2021
"This was a much needed break from the kids! We've had some trying weeks with our 6 and 9 yr old boys. This cabin was our first thought for a get-away! This will be our third trip to the Bobcat. We absolutely love it here. We love the fire, the bathtub and just being able to relax, read, play games and talk as a couple. We will be back again soon! Thanks for everything!" Kernersville, NC

February 11-15, 2021
"Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. This was our babymoon together and first Valentine's Day together as a married couple. It was perfect and magical. We lost power due to the ice storm, but as Bob Ross would say, 'There are no mistakes, just happy accidents'. The place turned into a winter wonderland - ice hung on every branch. It allowed us a time of togetherness and tranquility and reflection on how much there is to be grateful for. We spent days just enjoying fire, nature and time together - simple and wonderful things. We thank you for your hospitality and look forward to coming back with baby."

"We had a wonderful winter stay at Bobcat Bungalow. It snowed while we were here so we were able to enjoy sledding and the beautiful snow covered mountains. We made yummy meals and enjoyed the cozy fireplace. It was a great family time as we head to drop our freshman back off at Virginia Tech."
Chesapeake, VA

December 31, 2020 - January 3, 2021
"We had a great stay to end 2020 (a truly terrible year for all). Thank you for the warm hospitality. Can't wait to come back soon. We brought a TV and streamed health documentaries all weekend, to the delight of our unsuspecting friends. They arrived as carnivores, but are leaving as vegans. Success!"
"HELP! The girls are holding us hostage. They are forcing us to watch vegan propaganda and eat plants. They are surprisingly strong, like an ox, which according to them is due to their 100% plant based diet....Nooo! I am turning into one of them. I apologize for the smell, my body is eliminating all toxins and I can't shut it off. Please if you a reading this bring brisket...and TP."

"Thank you for great visit! Cabin so clean and peaceful. I'll be coming back for my b'day in May 2021."
"Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful cabin for us to enjoy in such a wonderful setting. It's good to break the everyday routines and the stresses we live with. We're hoping to buy a lot in NM or TX and build a small cabin and we got some ideas from this one which is so nicely done. Hope to see you in May. Thanks again for providing such a wonderful place that brings joy to so many people."

"We were looking for a place not far from PA and, based on a recommendation from friends who had been here, we reserved Bobcat. So glad we did! It was a wonderful, peaceful get-away. Sunrises were gorgeous, sitting on the porch with coffee. We hiked every day but one - tropical storm Zeta cane through. The best hikes were Buffalo Mountain (loved the view -360 degree around), Cascade Falls (gorgeous waterfall) and McAfee Knob on the Appalachian Trail (spectacular views and great pictures on the rocks). We hiked Rocky Knob which took us up a ladder, over a barbed wire fence and into a cow pasture where you're up close and personal with them! (watch your step.....:-)) We went to Floyd one Saturday for the farmer's market and found Cocoa Mia!! If you want an indulgent treat, we ended stopping there again for hot chocolate on one of those hiking days.
We would definitely come back again, loved it!"
"Great get-away with a friend - enjoying nature and the beauty the Lord created...great meals around the table and unplugging."
Lawrence, PA

October 16-17, 2020
"We had another amazing stay at the Bobcat Bungalow. We picked up our freshman from Virginia Tech and enjoyed a beautiful weekend together. We hiked McAfee Knob and took some incredible pictures at the top. The weather was perfect for fall adventures and fires in the fireplace. It was a great weekend to reconnect and enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of the mountains."
Chesapeake, VA

October 9-10, 2020
"Thank you for having us here. My mom tried to find a cabin but they were all booked. I love the view from the porch and I think my dog like it too. My dog loves the trails. And my mom and I like the all natural wood and the high vaulted ceiling."

"As always, our time spent here was perfection. I feel it's worth noting, (because we will all be looking back on this time someday), that presently our country is just beginning to emerge from it's pandemic lockdown. For our family, this means that we've barely been farther than the end of our driveway since March. We have spent so much of our time at home talking about our favorite past vacations and it's been fun to relive all of the wonderful memories we've made over the years here at your cabins. John and Mary, THANK YOU so very much for all of the care you put into ensuring your guests could have a safe and socially responsible vacation. A long hike, beautiful views, and this gorgeous cabin in the mountains must be just what our family needed because we're all leaving here more relaxed, content, and just generally happier than when we arrived. Happy and healthy wishes to you and your family. Thank you again, we are looking forward to our next visit!"
Chapel Hill, NC

"Your Bobcat cabin is so beautiful! You were so sweet to allow us to spend one night as we were passing through on our way home from Tennessee! We drove to the Willis Food Market and made a nice dinner in your lovely kitchen, everything we needed! After dinner we took a very relaxing soak in the jacuzzi! Then we played an intense game of Floydopoly! (which he won) The bed here made for a perfect sleep. We will come back for a longer stay!! Thank you."
Bethlehem, PA

December 8, 2019
"Although our time here was short, we made many wonderful memories and will have photos to remember it all. The beautiful vistas, especially the glowing sunrise, were the icing on the cake and only enhanced the warm, cozy space. We found everything we needed and more to prepare our meals. The bedding is exquisite! The sounds of nature barely interrupted by the sounds of other humans-it was all the prefect setting for a bonding time for co-workers to become closer friends. Thank you for sharing your little corner of paradise!"

Goochland and Big Stone Gap

November 2019
"After extensive research for many weeks, we finally found a cabin remote enough to have total seclusion from other prople. When you live in an urban area, this is what you need. This was the only cabin (along with the Cougar Ridge Cottage here) with wood floors, leather furniture, and a gas stove - three features of a home we really enjoy- that we could find in Southwestern VA. We highly suggest watching the sunrise from the deck - you will be able to take some amazing photos. We also suggest bringing your own food as the grocery stores are not around the corner. We were able to prepare meals here with ease - your plates are bearutiful by the way. We sure enjoyed mountain living and are not looking forward to going back to city living. All the more reason to make more time for the mountains! Or, maybe it's time to move to the mountains??? Thank you for providing this cabin for city dwellers like us to excape for a few days. We really enjoyed ourselves here."
Alexandria, VA

October 18-20, 2019
"We enjoyed our 6th stay at the Bobcat Bungalow. It was a great time to "reset" as a family and enjoy each others company and the great outdoors. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Homeplace on the ride in Friday night. Saturday, we ventured off and hiked the Cascade Trail. We were rewarded with the most beautiful waterfall. It was an amazing hike and we definitely recommend it. On the way back, we stopped in Floyd and the Floyd Country Store. We brought back a yummy dessert to eat at the cabin. That evening, we enjoyed playing games and the fireplace, while the gentle sound of rain relaxed us. On Sunday, we made breakfast and enjoyed another fire. We really had a great time as a family. It gave us a chance to unplug and reset from our busy schedules. Thank you for your amazing cabin."
Chesapeake, VA

"There are few things that can match the bonds of love in a large, close family. There are precious moments in life where those bonds are invariably strengthened. Being here for five days in this most beautiful example of God's blessings has brought this family of nine brothers and sisters more closely to the perfection of that love than can be described. We are all so grateful for this growth, peace, insight, appreciation and joy, surrounded by the grace of a generous God. To our host and hostess, many many heartfelt thanks."
"Thanks so much for all you did to make our time here so much fun!"

Oriental, NC

September 8-9, 2019
"This mini vacation has been so peaceful and rejuvenating to me. I spent two nights here with myself and my dogs. I enjoyed walking through the meadow, sitting on the porch, the view, the fresh mountain breeze, the sound of God's creation, the comfy bed, and the jacuzzi (my favorite). This was a soul searching weekend for me and I am so glad that I took it. Sometimes we need to 'unplug' ourselves from all of the world's distractions and get alone with God. The Bobcat Bungalow was a great place to unplug."


September 2, 2019
"Return visit for us.... Loved it even more than last year, and hope to be back again! Floyd Yoga Jam was magical this year - third time for us. Music, Yoga, intergrative healing 'community'... and much more. This cabin is special. Stargazing, flyfishing, quietude. Visit from a bear! And any numerous other critters. Beautiful sunrises, and sunsets. Floyd is fun. Arts, food...ditto the whole Blue Ridge. Beautiful area. Heading back home (sadly!) today after one week. Considering a longer stay next yr. With gratitude to our hosts for the lovely space they have created and maintained! Namaste!"
Williamsburg, VA

"Thank you for having us in this beautiful cabin! We have enjoyed the serene environment that allowed for relaxation and an escape from our busy lives. The Bobcat Bungalow is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy spending time together. My husband, our dogs Zada and Onyx, and I loved exploring the incredible town of Floyd. Five Mile Mountain distillery and Chatteau Morisette are a must visit for anyone that enjoys a good drink! We loved meeting the people and taking in the sites! How could you not love a town that is dog friendly!? This is a magical place with it's history and amazing views! We will definitely be coming back!
For you fellow travelers, let us recommend some activities:
Drive the Blue Ridge Parway, if only for a short time. It's beautiful and full of incredible overlooks.
Get ice cream from the Floyd Country Store. It's delicious.
Walk Main St. and Locust St. in Floyd. The shops are full of local artists and indulgences (Cocoa Mia)
Enjoy the nature, the quiet and the view!
We hope you enjoy Floyd as much as we did."

"We had a lovely stay in the Bobcat Bungalow. It is secluded and rustic enough to satisfy the country mouse in our travel party while charming, cozy and safe enough for the city mouse.

"We enjoyed our 5th stay at Bobcat Bungalow. The weather just started to cool off (highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s) so we enjoyed the fireplace a great deal. On Saturday, we took our daughter to Virginia Tech to explore the school and attend an open house. She loved the school and it is definitely on her list of college choices. We then went in to Floyd and visited the Floyd Country Store. We enjoyed listening to some music and ate dinner. On Sumday, we enjoyed a rainy day inside the cabin. We really enjoyed our stay and feel relaxed and refreshed."

We didn't realize our spectacular view until we woke up in the morning! We loved the big porch and rocking chairs. They were perfect to drink our morning coffee on while watching the sunrise! We hiked down on the trails, explored the town of Floyd, and visited Chateau Morrisette for a wine tasting and fantastic dinner with a sunset view! I wish we could stay longer! thank you for providing a quiet and luzusious getaway for us!"

The weather was perfect..70s during the day and 50s at night. We wish we could stay longer. Thank you for a fantastic weekend getaway. It is just what we needed !"

"We are celebrating our 31st anniversary and were looing for a quiet, secluded get-away. This was perfect! We felt like we were the only people for miles around. The cabin is beautiful and much nicer than most of the cabins we've stayed at in the Smokies. Words can't describe the beauty of this property. We wanted to be on the deck, but at the same time we wanted to be sitting in the field. The full moon rising and shining into the open field was one of the most beautiful things we've experienced. It is obvious that a lot of care and attention has been given to the building and upkeep of this cabin. We don't want to leave...But we will be back! Thank you for your hospitality and for making this such a wonderful celebration."

A get-away was a surprise birthday gift to my husband, so you can imagine how delighted we were to come here. Coffee while rocking in the chairs watching the baby birds in the nest on the ceiling fan...relaxing in the jacuzzi after hiking... having no schedule but to enjoy this lovely cabin...
We did dance with the locals at Floyd's Country store on Friday night too. We met Mary when we picked up our cabin key and enjoyed our visit with her while admiring her flower gardens. Just a beautiful place inside and out!"

"After vacationing at the Floyd Hotel for the past ten years, we decided to try something a bit different. We are not disappointed by our choice to stay this past week at the Bobcat Bungalow! As soon as we pulled up to the cabin, we all knew we were in for a treat. The quiet, serene hills, beautiful views, and amazing trails were more than we expected. The cabin itself was more luxurious than expected as well. It is very well kept, very open and spacious to accomodate a few guests we had for the fourth of July, as well as lovely and peaceful for the nights - watching the Milky Way float by. We even brought my son's telescope to see Jupiter (I think) and a few other stars. Even though it stormed (pretty heavily) one night, it was beautiful to watch the lightning from the porch, rocking in the rocking chairs. Oh, and did I mention I want to pack that Jacuzzi up and take it with be back to Jersey!! All in all best family vacation ever! Thanks again for an enjoyable stay!!! See you again next year for our wedding."

Then we enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Homeplace. The next day we visited Chateau Morrisette. We enjoyed some wine, cheese and nuts while taking in the gorgeous scenery. Later that evening, we grilled out and had smores for dessert by the fire pit. We really enjoyed relaxing in this cozy cottage. Thank you!"
Chesapeake, Va

May 1-3, 2016
"It's hard to believe that we first came here in August 2007, first just the two of us. Then we came with 7 of our friends in March 2009. Now we're back with our 2 1/2 year old daughter. This was the perfect place to take her on our first family vacation ever. You just cannot beat the beautiful, quiet, hilly countryside, especially when you're with the ones you love. Thank you for taking such great care of the cabin! We've rented a number of cabins in Ohio and they usually don't stand up to the wear and tear over the years. But yours definitely does! All our best."
Dayton, OH

April 29 - May 1, 2016
"It was another perfect weekend in the mountains (our 4th visit here!) and again we thank you so much for making this possible. This time, we were so happy to bring my parents along and they loved averything as much as we do. We spent a lot of time talking, laughing, and enjoying the view from the porch. We built the best campfire every, hiked the trails, and finished a 500 piece puzzle! It was my mom's birthday on the 28th and we were so glad we could celebrate together here. We're already looking forward to the next visit. See you soon!"
"Thanks so much for the details - we enjoyed playing Blockhead w/ the grandsons and the porch is a peaceful place- from the early morning w/ coffee to the drizzly evening - a wonderful opportunity to visit and make mamories. Can't compliment you all enough on the thought and care you put into this cabin. We hope to be back."

"Thanks so much. Our stay in the Bobcat Bungalow was just what we wanted and more. We were fortunate in that weather could not have been much better. We loved walking aroung the property and talking to the cows and taking in some absolutely beautiful fall colors! The sunset, sunrise and especially the night sky with the stars was very special. Our trip to the Floyd Country store for the Sunday afternoon jam session will never be forgotten. The cabin itself was so inviting and comfortable. We felt really relaxed and had everything we needed. We will miss the big room. We hope to be back some time, all the best."

Breakfasts on the porch and hilarious games at the table at night...The well-equipped kitchen, spacious living area, and comfortable bedrooms... All these and more made our stay here so relaxing! We enjoyed our stay so much two years ago that we came back and brought friends. The trip up and down from the car was challenging, but one inside, the cabin was pretty handicap-friendsly."

"I have stayed in many cabins in my day, but this is by far the best. In fact, the word 'cabin' seems too pedestrian for this lovely, well-appointed haven of happiness. The location and view are perfect, and I could sit in one of these rocking chairs forever. I have been fantasizing about a place exactly like this for decades and now I know what I want: this! So this is my new plan - get a Bobcat Bungalow of my own. I've never been happier or more at peace than here - it just feels right. The spirit of these mountains has steeped into my bones and soul.
I love Floyd - came for the music and discovered the best kept secret of this area. Food's not bad, either! The jam was incredible; in fact, we couldn't control ourselves and ate it all so we have none to take home with us. The only downside: we have to leave tomorrow. However, we'll be back. Thanks for everything."

We are here celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary with our two boys (ages 4 years and 18 months). I ca't imagine a more perfect place to get away to, to celebrate our family.

"6 friends from 6 different places sojourned from across the country to rendezvous for a boys reunion. From CA, NJ, MS, Richmond, VA, Lynchburg, VA, and Roanoke, VA, all made the trek to this oasis. We all met at Liberty Univ. in 2003 and since then this group, and many others who couldn't make it, have created many a memory via camping trips, road trips, and all sorts of shenanigans. It's been four years since we have all been together again like this. Rendezvous in the past have typically taken place in the woods of VA at some secluded spot where boys could be boys; harvesting wood, making fires, pitching tents, exploring the land, building fishwheels and lean-tos, and falling asleep to the sound of a babbling brook. So a cabin was new to us and it DID NOT disappoint! As we rolled up to the cabin we were all smiling like it was Christmas morning. A heavenly light beamed down upon the cabin and I'm pretty sure I could hear the sound of a heavenly host of angels singing as we gazed upon what would be our shelter and refuge from the monotony of daily living. Once the cabin was occupied what followed was STRAAIIIGT FELLOWSHIP! Trips down memory lane were followed by non-stop laughter, tears were shed (from the laughter), cheeks hurt, and we've all developed 6-pack abs after all the laughing.
There were no kids or girls here, it was boys night. So we had our bonfire, we drank (modestly) and smoked cigarettes (modestly) and went for a woods-walk, cooked some brats, and played 'Mario-cart'. Every one of us was impressed with the beauty of the cabin and God's creation that encompassed us. Everything we needed was here, even firewood! The sky was magical and we eventually went to sleep with all the windows open, listening to nature as cool breezes of happiness put us to sleep. Thank you!"

Cinncinnati, OH

July 25, 2012
"Oh what relaxing fun we had! We have stayed in some cabins before, BUT NOTHING like yours! The old wood interior, the porch, rocking chairs, etc. were so charming. And that you built "Bobcat" yourselves simply added frosting to the cake. And the weather! Wow- how do you do it? Pleasant days with nice breezes to keep all comfortable day and night!!! Finally, but not least, we so enjoyed FloydFest. Our first 'out in the country' music festival. The nicest people by the 1000s we've ever been around. Between the Feistival and the shops/stores in Floyd we met the neatest fan people over and over. Almost got on a first-name basis with the ladies in Floyd hardware store at "The Traffic Light". Because of them and all the important items (practical, unique, interesting, unusual, etc.) they carry, each trip was almost like going to a toy store at Christmas time. Whether in eateries, shops, grocery stores, gas stations, small convenience stores, etc., everyone was nice and so helpful.
Back to FloydFest. The people were as great as the music! For example in the very crowded Pink Floyd "Beer Garden Stage" area, very crowded on Sat., a couple were leaving for a while. They came over where we were sitting on rocks around a pool and asked if we would like to sit in their chairs while they were visiting elsewhere!!! Who ever heard of such a thing from total strangers?
And the Music - wonderful! We came mainly with our daughter and son-in-law to hear Brandi Carlile --she is more awesome live than on her cds. She made everyone feel like she was having such a great time at her first FloydFest. All four of us 'danced in the pit' for over a half hour to HaHa Tonka at the Beer Garden stage under the shade of the great trees (never done that). The bluegrass bands at the VA Folklife Workshop Porch were really great - and we were up-close and personal with them. The Drew Emmitt Band and also Drew with Leftover Salmon (what a name) were wonderful! Sara Watkins at the main stage was so good and fun with her energetic fiddle work and great voice. Wayne Henderson at the Workshop Porch was also great. Good music, fun stories, up-close quality entertainment, and the nicest people everywhere. We'll be back!"

"..."Franklin/Storm Wedding"
After a 100 degree day we arrived at Bobcat by 7, a good six hours in the car, Chambersburg to Indian Valley. The 'prince-ly' cabin greeted us with a cool shower with ammenities to prep our pre-prepared dinner. "Oh Annie..." I says..."look at the bank of clouds flanking the sunset".... After our toast, and first bite, Pow!! Thwack, Zip, Zap and the power of the wind...slamming over our roof. We easily found the flashlights provided, lit up our votives and enjoyed the storm with the lights out!! Now that's romantic...little did we realize 'til morning, as we met up with other wedding guests, that a tornado touched down in Roanoke, and pulled down three posts of the circus-sized tent set up for the reception at the Heaven's Holler!!
The Pelusos provided water, a shower at their generator fed home...and we proceeded to have a grand Venezuelan/Virginia wedding!
May your stay be as memorable, and may you find an arrowhead nearby!"

"Our third trip to "The Bobcat" and another perfect visit for the entire pack. Gemma flushed out a deer Saturday on our mini-hike and chased for quite a while. On the morning of our departure we heard an odd bird calling. It sounded like a monkey, then I saw a huge (crow-sized) bird fly near the front door porch. It was a pileated woodpecker!! It was so much bigger than any other woodpecker either of us have ever seen! We are hoping to spy it again on our next visit. We will need to some back for a summer visit, then we will have experienced "The Bobcat" during each season. How fortunate for us. Thank you. We are so grateful for your hospitality and friendship. Until our next visit - keep well."

This is the first time we've arrived and found the property better in person than in the photos. This is truly 'luxury in the woods'. We cannot thank you enough for sharing this most amazing, rejuvenating, quiet, soul filling of places. This was our first visit to the area/cabin but most definitely not our last. Being able to fring the whole family (dogs included) makes this the most wonderful of locations."

"This was our second Easter in this cabin, third visit. As always love the view and seclusion of the cabin. The kids found an Easter egg (plastic) that we had hidden the year before and was unable to find. We have decided to hide another with a dollar to see if someone else's child finds it, if so leave us a message that it was found and place back into the same place, for we shall be back next year for Easter. (Hint) Check beside the cabin toward the field that is where we found it this year. We had beautiful weather as always love watching the sunrise from the porch, so peaceful. The kids and I were able to pet one of the horses this year. Can't wait until next year to come back."

From waiting up for us to check in late to directing the airport delivery people to the right place, you were incredibly kind and understanding. We spent many hours on the porch looking out at the gorgeous view and waking up in the sunshine each morning was just wonderful. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law joined us for the last day and night and they both raved about the lovely cabin and how comfortable it is.

"We first visited when I came to pick up a pair of your fabulous microphones. For those of you not involved in audio, Peluso makes world class microphones for the professional recording industry. Peluso is well known, as are the microphones, to be a stickler for delivering high quality at an affordable price. The same goes for the cabins. We visit Mountain Lake every year because of the cabin quality and the nature we can't enjoy in Richmond. From here on we'll be visiting Indian Creek Cabins as least once a year.""We have really enjoyed our stay in Bobcat Bungalow these last two days. It was great to get away from home and enjoy such a beautiful and relaxing place. The cabin is beautiful and you have furnished it so cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the wood stove last night and a steak dinner on the grill. We had a good nights sleep, the bed was so comfortable. We are looking forward to coming back again. We are going to have my adult kids come from Roanoke and enjoy the cabin and trails also. Thank you so much for the blackberry jam. We will enjoy it at home. Thanks for your kindness."

"Thank you for letting us stay in your cabin this weekend. You've given us a beautiful place to stay this week while moving our daughter into her apartment in Blacksburg to start her sophmore year at Virginia Tech. Staying at the cabin was so much more peaceful and beautiful than being stuck in a hotel for days. We love going camping so this place was perfect for us. The view at night watching the stars and we even got to see a few shooting stars and the Milky Way one evening was breathtaking. Thank you for letting us use your phone when my cell phone died and for providing us with a place for our trailer to be parked. You've done a great job with providing all the necessities for the kitchen. Can't wait to come back soon. This will be our place to stay when we visit our daughter."

"Thank you for wonderful time at your beautiful Bobcat Bungalow. After losing our little angel to tragedy this year, a quiet, peaceful few days was a blessing. It was wonderful to watch the children run and play. As a family we really needed this level of quiet and disconnent from the hussle of the world. While everyone sleeps, the view and sunrise from the rocking chairs on the porch makes the most peaceful place to praise the Lord and count your many blessings. I have found where I need to go when I need a break to take a much closer walk with the Lord. Thank you for your kindness, and your preserves. I can't wait to return and curl up with a book, a warm fire, and pot of soup. I am so blessed to have found you and your wonderful cabin. I feel rested and ready to return to life as we knew it. We will tell everyone they must spend some time in this very beautiful part of Va and must stay here and feel what it is like to not hear cars, trains, tvs, phones, computers, fax machines, golf carts, and neighbors lawn mowers at 7 am." Moncks Corner, SC

"We truly enjoyed our stay here at Bobcat Cungalow and hope to come back some time when we aren't running back and forth from Floydfest.

Our little one and the fireplace didn't play so nice resulting in a blistered index finger :-( Needless to say, fireplace 1, Little One 0. The trails were great - look for a nice place to recharge *hint: it's blue*. Outside fire pit was killer until the showers came. We cooked everything from steaks to ribs, corn on the cob, buttered zucchini and squash on the grill. Overall, what a fantastic getaway from pharmacy and Petsmart. Lastly, highly recommend getting up for the sunrise - what a view! Thanks again and see you next year!"

June 30, 2009
"The Bobcat Bungalow was our 'home away from home' for five wonderful nights. We travelled from California for two special events. A beautiful wedding for our niece and a family reunion. The cabin provided everything we needed and we were able to sneak in a hike between all the activity. The sunrises were spectacular, the evening breezes were cooling and the views were amazing. With all the running back and forth, the cabin provided a calming retreat. Thank for building a beautiful cabin!!"

We have stayed in Cougar Ridge Cottage years ago and we enjoyed this one just as much. Our son could just walk the trails forever, but he is 12 so he never gets tired. Our 21-year-old had no cell phone service and no internet - he had plenty of family bonding time. Papa told Nana they need to spend a week here. And our graduate was thrilled everyone could be here, now she has to concentrate on getting a job and begin her journey in life."

"What a great place to escape the hectic pace we endure week after week. By far, we enjoyed the best Thanksgiving holiday - ever! We relaxed by the fire while our entree slowly cooked atop the oven. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from beginning to end and spent the entire day in our pajamas - now that is relaxing!! The Bobcat Bungalow has it all: privacy, quiet, comfort, coziness, and beautiful scenery, including picturesque sunrises and sunsets! I stirred up 4 white-tail deer this morning while walking along the tree-line between the cabin and the wheat field just beyond the outside fire pit. It was quite a sight as I watched them run and jump across the field and into the woods. Thanks to John and Mary for providing such a wonderful venue for so many to stay and enjoy. We will be sure to tell our firends all about it as they view all of the pictures we took during our stay. We shall return!"

"Sitting here, in this big overstuffed shair, nibbling on crusty brown bread topped with Blackberry jam and listening to the wind whistle outside the door and yellow leaves float past the windows, I wonder - Is this what heaven is like?"
"Floyd has long seemed like a vortex of art, music and fairy-like fantasy. These cabins capture the magic that is the mountains of Virginia with an ease, grace and comfort that belie its many amenities. Perfect!"

"Thank you for this wonderfully comfortable space in which to retreat - The cabin's amenities are delightful - the quality of your furnishings and accoutrements are outstanding.

"Rained all 3 days and we didn't even mind. The cabin and setting is wonderful. Enjoyed the fireplace every day - even better than T.V. Worked on puzzles and even managed a Galax to Foster Falls bike ride (in the rain - but who cares!) The jacuzzi was the best, especially with unlimited hot water to fill it (we've rented other cabins where we couldn't even begin to use theirs) Had a great time and would definitely come again. We were actually thankful for the bad weather because it forced us to stay in more and really enjoy your wonderful cabin. Thanks again."

"This 'cabin' definitely exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect to find a 'cabin' in rural VA that can best be described as upscale. My towels at home aren't this fluffy and soft. The almost absolute silence (the bugs are pretty noisy) was great. And being able to view the stars without city lights was a treat. I only wish the trails weren't quite so steep, but a nice jacuzzi bath kept be from being sore the next day! Thanks for the experience, I hope to have an opportunity to return at a future date."

"We had a reallly nice weekend and enjoyed our stay at the Bobcat. Friday night at the Floyd Country Store is always a memorable evening. We hiked to the top of Buffalo Mountain and the views are well worth the effort. With a daughter at Roanoke College and VA Tech football (Go Hokies!) nearby, we hope to return to the Bobcat Cabin soon."

"Everything that is the Bobcat Bungalow is exactly what we needed to put our minds and souls where they should be. Your hospitality, the scenery and the comfort that you have created is unbelievable.

It is always so hard to leave. There's so much to miss and remember. (Thank goodness for memory.)
We loved every minute of our stay. This year we walked your lovely trails and even looked for arrowheads. We had family visitors who marveled at the luxury inside this cabin - (The terrific beds, fluffy towels, well-equipped kitchen.)
We did more exploring in Floyd and even had meat-loaf sandwiches at the Blue Ridge Restaurant. The General Store looks great with all the new trappings.
Thanks again for the gracious hospitality evident in every thoughtful aspect of your cabin."

"Perfection! A piece of heaven on earth! Indescribable! We absolutely loved our stay at the Bobcat Bungalow! The porch and peaceful spring evenings were our favorite. The starry nights with only sounds of nature were very relaxing and exactly what we needed. The Jacuzzi tub was very nice after the long hike at Rock Castle Gorge. Everything is very nice and top of the line. Makes you feel right at home! This is such a wonderful place and more than we dreamed of. We will be back! A Memorial Day tradition??"

"Our family found the perfect place to help celebrate our daughter's graduation from Virginia Tech. We saw wonderful sunrises each day, as we rose to attend an event on campus. Each afternoon and evening we returned to this beautifully appointed "cabin" to have lunch and dinner and take lovely walks. By Saturday, we sat on the porch and took in the views of the glorious mountains.
The quiet was a reprieve from our busy days and gave us time to rest and reflect. The kitchen, dining, and living room were very comfortable for our visiting family and gave us the great space to spread out and relax. Though five of us stayed, our daughter, her boyfriend and our son came for dinner on Saturday and we easily had supper around the table just like at home! The barbeque allowed us to create incredible salmon, skirt steak, and marvelous roasted veggies. Where other guests saw birds of all types, we ate foods of all kinds. The kitchen and grill were well stocked and we loved the blackberry jam, which we all agreed was the best we have ever tasted. Thank you so much for the tasty treat!
The walk was great and gave us the much needed exercise from a long ride each day. We took the Cougar loop and then headed to the pasture to visit with the horses, sheep, cows, and llamas. We spotted "tree mushrooms" and many blackberry bushes.
We all have wonderful memories of the graduation and our fabulous stay at the Bobcat Bungalow. This is a rare find that was such a pleasant surprise! Thanks!!!"

"We are back once again. In '03 we stayed at the Cougar Ridge Cabin and loved it. When our 15th wedding anniversary came we wanted a quiet getaway and so we thought of the Indian Creek Cabins. The Bobcat Bungalow was a wonderful place to stay to celebrate our anniversary. My husband and I really enjoyed each other. The cabin in the woods was so peaceful even though the winds howled all night. On Sunday morning we awoke to a beautiful sunrise. We relaxed together all day Sunday and enjoyed each others company and we really hated to have to leave but we do plan to return one day. The owners are really great and thanks for the blackberry jam. It's a great place to stay."

We enjoyed part of our Saturday there. As always, your jam was outstanding. Many thanks; also the trails were fun and gave us plenty of exercise. We hope to visit a few times in the coming year. The porch is by far our very favorite place to relax and connect once again with our souls."Burlington, NC

October 12 - 14, 2007
"Floyd, Va has been a magical place to me since I first 'discovered' it about 10 years ago when my sister moved here. Now that she has moved away, I wanted to re-experience it's beauty and musical charms on my own. Your perfect cabin makes my dream of coming back to Floyd every October (at least) an exciting and relaxing reality! My husband and family can now experience this magical place with me in peace and comfort year after year. A new family tradition is born! What a sanctuary you have created in what is already one of my favorite places on earth. Thank you, thank you."
"Arriving late Friday night, we enjoyed the wood stove and a very quiet night. Saturday, we ate our way thru Floyd Co. from Blue Ridge Restaurant to the Bread Box. We returned at 4 p.m. to enjoy the porch, then moved to the outdoor fire ring for sunset and an evening of stars. The cottage is cozy with individually zoned rooms and we loved the east bedroom for warm, cozy sunrises. We plan to book today for this time next year."

"Although we live by the beach, our hearts remain in the mountains. My husband and I had no idea what we were getting into as we found ourselves on the front porch of the Bobcat Bungalow with the breathtaking view. Needless to say, we found the rest we were in need of, a romantic place to enjoy our one year anniversary, and a place to come home to when we long for the mountains again. See you again soon! *Bring water on the trails! Get ready for a great workout :-)*"

"What a shame that we were only able to stay here one night... We enjoyed the beautiful view and the relaxing Jacuzzi while we could. After a week of vacationing with fourteen family members, a nice quiet night here was exactly what we needed. No TV, no kids, no messes to clean up. Just peace and quiet. We are already planning on who to bring with us the next time that we visit (hopefully this fall). This is a great place to work on my novel while still spending time with favorite friends and family. Hope to be back soon!

"Arriving on Fri was like stepping into Heaven. The temperatures during the day were in the mid-70s and in the low 50s over night. We walked the trails (watch out for the Bobcat Loop, it's a killer), picked ripe blackberries for pancakes and ate them as we picked them (which tasted like blessed warm sweet sunshine). Sunset is an incredible experience! Watching the world settle in and pull a nice comfy blanket over itself until sunrise, when the Blue Ridge Mountains show themselves through the mist. The cabin, after running around the countryside and shopping in Floyd, was like "comin' home". The Bobcat Cottage definitely allows one to completely escape and relax."
"I found a quiet time away here in this cabin. My mind has rested and by soul has fed. I will go back to the real world refreshed and ready to carry on. Thank you."
Chapel Hill, NC

July 16, 2007
"I came with my father, mother, and sister. We wake up and look at the view from the cabin. We also went to Foster Falls, and we tubed, kyacked and fished. We also got really good pizza from Dennys. We have a campfire outside every night. To top it all off we went to the Pine Tavern to eat dinner, it was delicious. Can't wait to come back."
"Thank you for the incredible hospitality. We couldn't have asked for anything more as far as accommodations. We will hopefully be returning to see this beautiful place again.
Thank you,

"Your lovely cabin
A secret to be kept
We whispered to each other
Moments before we slept
Loopy trails and foggy mist
In the early morn, 'twas dew kissed
Every detail thought through and through
Fans on the porch, a breathtaking view
And who knew....silence could awaken
For miles and miles, ours for the taking
Magical place - we hate to go
Rest assured - we'll return
Before the year's next snow"

We particularly enjoyed the porch, where we cooked and ate a nice steak as the sun went down. The trails were well maintained and provided a nice tour of the valley. Hope to return!

We look forward to our next stay in June. Once again, thanks for the jam. It was outstanding. By the way, our son and his wife found their way right to the Bobcat door and loved every minute spent here with us for the Easter holiday."

We loved walking the trails with plentiful rhododendron, mountain laurel and all the lovely mountain plants. You have a wonderful place here. Our dog loved being able to stay too - and hiking all over the woods. This is a dog paradise. Hope we can come back soon."

Floyd, VA

"Bobcat Bungalow was a beautiful place to stay on a chilly evening in March! Everything in the cabin was topnotch, from the wood floors, to the beautiful curtains, to the dishes in the cabinet. Aside from a beautiful house in a beautiful setting, the amenities included were wonderful. Our pup enjoyed the cabin as much as we did and having a house where pets are welcome is something you don't find much anymore. He appreciates it as much as we do! Thank you for making us feel at home! You will be seeing us again in the future.
Thanks for everything.
Radford, VA

March 2-4, 2007
"This is our second visit to Bobcat and each time proves to be more special. We both live such busy lives, with work, kids and other responsibilities, that we need to "make-time" to stop the clock! This beautiful mountain and this cottage always serve that we will leave relaxed. We don't know a better place where we can sit for hours and listen to the wind furiously bring the front in, and be so entertained! Where else can you sit in town at (Odd Fellas) and enjoy a great meal, wonderful music and meet people who really have time to get to know you!
This morning, Sunday, we awoke to discover a fresh layer of snow - it was amazing. It then made sense that the previous day's wind was busy bringing us a wonderful good-bye gift - (snow). One of our favorite past-times while staying here is to "bundle up" and sit on the porch at night and listen to the silence. You will find a quiet place in your soul very quickly - please try it and let us know if it works for you too. We believe that we have found a special place and look forward to returning in July for Floyd Fest."

"We celebrated my husband's 40th birthday here at your Bobcat Bungalow. It was everything we expected and more.

Hope to see you again real soon!

"Every Presidents Day weekend we travel to a secluded spot for a quiet rejuvenation. It is hard to beat Indian Valley and Bobcat Bungalow.

Thanks for your incredible hospitality. We will be back!"

"Thank you for offering such a beautiful view and warm and welcoming accommodations here at Bobcat Bungalow. We had very cold weather, but the wood stove kept us nice and toasty the whole night. We enjoyed bundling up and rocking on the rocking chairs, taking in the beautiful mountain view and rolling hills. What a wonderful discovery when we traveled into the town of Floyd and found great restaurants (we recommend Odd Fellas) and amazing works by local artists. The cabin is beautifully designed and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend stay. We look forward to visiting again and truly appreciate the delicious blackberry jam."
