Virginia Log Cabin at Natural Bridge Natural Bridge, Virginia Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 1252

Tom Bradshaw's log cabin at Poague Run

 

Location: Natural Bridge, Virginia, USA (Lexington-10 min; Roanoke VA-35 miles;Natural Bridge-2 miles)

Accommodations:  Log Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-8)

My beautiful log cabin in the country is the perfect place for two people or a whole family to enjoy being together in a tranquil setting. Enjoy a sunset from the swing or rocking chair on the front porch. Have a cook-out on the back porch using the gas or charcoal grills. Or, just watch the songbirds at the feeder. Don't forget to feed them. There's sunflower seed in the can on the back porch.

I built the badminton-volleyball court. How about a game of horseshoes? The croquet set is in the little barn. The hammock will probably be up in good weather. Indoors I have collected quite a few games. The books on the rotating shelf at the end of the sofa cover a wide variety of interests. There by the stone fireplace is an old fashioned popcorn popper. Corn is in the fridge. I have installed a gas log fire set in the fireplace for safety. You'll find the kitchen fully equipped. Microwave, dishwasher, full sized fridge, and my eclectic collection of kitchenware.
Faye made up the queen bed in the master bedroom-put a nice quilt on it. There's a quilt on the queen bed in the downstairs bedroom too. The antiques look nice against the old wood walls and floors. That painting by the fireplace is a primitive that my mother painted a while back. The DVD is on the loft with the lcd tv. It is connected to a satelite dish. That sofa pulls out into a queen sized bed. The leather sofa in the great room hides a queen sized bed as well. Sheets and towels are in the linen closet. More blankets and pillows are in the cabinet by the dining table. The phone is by the stairs.

Now, I want to tell you about our area. This is a beautiful area of Virginia. The Blue Ridge mountains you can see to the east. The famous Natural Bridge is just 2 miles down the road. Historic Lexington, where General Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson lived, is only 11 miles up the pike. Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University are here. You can watch a cadet parade at 4 PM on Fridays at VMI. The new O. Winston Link Museum in Roanoke (35 miles)is wonderful. Many photographs of steam engines on the N&W railroad.
In Lexington there are horse drawn carriage rides through town. The two national forests have their information center just 2 miles away. They have many outdoor activities to tell you about. There is much more to do than I can tell you here. I put information brochures on the table in the Great room. Send me an e-mail or call about reserving my cabin.
Roy and I have finally completed the caboose which has a double bed, bath, galley and a small day bed. This could allow you to expand the size of your group depending on how you arranged them. There is a firepit and brick patio at the caboose. It is separated from the cabin area by landscape features.
Thanks, Tom Bradshaw

  • We had a wonderful weekend at the Virginia Log Cabin! The cabin is beautifully maintained; the front porch is just delightful. We were so grateful to be able to have our golden retriever, Henry, with us, and he had a wonderful time playing ball on the beautiful, rolling grounds. All in all, an excellent time in a beautiful part of Virginia.

  • Staying in this wonderful, welcoming cabin was so much better than staying in a hotel! You walk in and you feel at home because it is so inviting. The furnishings and decorations are exactly what you would hope to find in a log cabin -- whimsical yet practical and comfortable. The place dares you not to kick back, relax and enjoy! The area itself is beautiful, plenty to see and do. But just as good, if not better, were the times when we sat on the back porch and played cards and board games, or headed into the backyard for a badminton marathon. I would not hesitate to recommend this retreat to anyone!

  • What's to say! This is our second visit to Tom and Faye's cabin within the last 2 years. We came back this time based on our first visit in 2007. As dog owners, our first pre-requisite is a place where "all of us" are welcome. We do bring our dog, but for those of you who don't have a dog, you would never know a dog has been there - probably important to some! The cabin is very inviting and comfortable. There is nothing lacking. I prefer to cook or grill - I'm not one to go out to eat every night, and Tom's cabin has all you could want! The rooms are very "homey" and lend themselves to a great place to relax and enjoy! We plan to return in the very near future!

  • On June 4, 2009, our son graduated from Washington and Lee University. My wife, Emaline, and I have been blessed to have known the owners Tom and Faye Bradshaw since the 70's. Our celebration headquarters was the Cabin and the Caboose as we spent three magnificent days at the "compound" meeting and greeting friends and having the celebration in the form of a picnic on the day of graduation with 36 people in attendance. Very simply, it was a perfect venue for us, and we knew that before making our arrangements. Tom and Faye Bradshaw went well beyond our expectations to make sure that all of our needs were taken care of. It does not get any better than this property if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay in Lexington. We will be back and would never hesitate telling everyone about our wonderful experience.

  • The cabin was everything it looked and said to be. It was beautiful and so cozy and comfy... It is decorated so nicely. My husband and I needed a weekend to lounge in our PJ's in front of a great warm fire with a good book and magazines, something we have little time to do in our hectic schedules. Prior to coming, we had decided to eat out each night, but instead, we ate our meals in the cabin, it was so peaceful and relaxing that cooking a meal, was no big deal. We would recommend this adorable and wonderful cabin to anyone. The Virginia Log Cabin offered by Tom Bradshaw will definately be seeing us again.

  • We had the Cabin for VMI Parent's weekend 2008. It was our 3rd year in a row. What a wonderful place! Tom is an exceptional host! We love it there and we are hoping to continue the tradition for the next 4 years. The cabin is a wonderful place to have a party. We had around 50 people there Saturday night and with the expansive back porch the cabin handled the crowd very well.

  • We visited our daughter and son in law in Crofton Maryland and they brought us to your cabin as a treat. We both enjoyed the cabin and amenities very much. We alson enjoyed the rolling hills and the quiet and peace in the evenings. I really think that it was worth the whole trip.

  • Visited natural Bridge July 12-13. the cabin was great. Anything you could want, was in there. In my haste to leave, I forgot coffee and cereal 4 the kids, but found some in the cubboards (replaced cereal). Enjoyed the porches. My husband and I had coffee in the am and wine at night, while the kids played outside and ran around. Enjoyed the coziness of the cabin very much. Sat night we played "Pigged Out", and had lots of fun. We decided to come back sometime in the winter, so the kids can catch some snow. I'm telling everybody about Tom & faye's cabin. Natural Bridge is a must see. Tom & Faye, thanks...we'll be back.

  • My husband and I stayed in the cabin 6/12/08 - 6/15/08, it was such a relaxing time. Whether watching the birds feed, the horses roam the fields or rocking on the front porch, you feel 1000 miles away from hustle and bustle of daily life. I think staying there is something everyone owes themselves! Thanks Tom!
