| 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! |

| We stayed at the cabin May 14-16, 2008 and used it as a base of ops for our son's graduation from VMI. We had stayed there once before. The cabin is spacious and very well equipped. It's located in the country--horses next door, etc. We particularly enjoyed the large back porch--good for coffee in the a.m. and get-togethers in the evening. Tom was a great host and responded quickly to all questions. The renovated caboose is a real conversation piece and can also be rented. |

| My family and I visited Tom and Faye's cabin the last week in March 2008. The accomodations were perfect for us. I especially loved the jacuzzi and used it every night! Had fun playing badminton with the kids too. Great weather and we stayed busy hiking the beautiful Apple Orchard Falls, horseback riding in Buena Vista, tour of historical Lexington, a visit to the Animal Safari just down the street and of course the Natural Bridge and caverns. I recommend going to the Natural Bridge for their night light show too! Missed seeing the Virginia Horse Center and the cadets parade on Friday at VMI, but will do that on our return visit. Gracious hosts, easy access and beautiful surroundings made this a trip for my family to remember and a return trip is inevitable! |

| Awesome cabin. Great getaway from the city. Beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful. Full kitchen with gas grill to fix the perfect dinner. Gas firplace and two person jacuzzi made for a very romantic stay. Couldn't ask for anything better. Natural bridge is a must see. Not so sure about the Toy Museum. Thank you for the cookies, they were awesome. Looking forward to the next visit. |

| My wife, our dog and I really enjoyed Tom Bradshaw's Virginia Log Cabin when we stayed there September 3 and 4, 2007. It's a beautiful place and we especially appreciated the jacuzzi after a long day of driving and hiking. I posted some pictures from our trip, including a couple of Tom Bradshaw's cabin, and one of my friends who is interested in trains contacted me immediately about more information on the C&O caboose. |

| We throroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. The location was very convenient to all the local attractions, which was a great bonus. We would've preferred rocking on the back porch to avoid some traffic noise, but that was really a minor detail. The kids loved the space, the horses, and the cows. Our lab, Savannah, was in her element and only barked a "few" times at the irritated horse. All in all a great time was had by all! |

| Calling your beautiful home a "cabin" is an understatement. My sister-in-law and I were so pleasantly surprised. You thought of everything and we found your home the perfect get-away from the hustle bustle of daily life. The location couldn't be better...close to the interstate, easy to find, but out of the way enough to leave the world behind. Thank you for such a relaxing vacation. |

The cabin was awesome. It was our first time there and we would definitely go back. It was hard to return to the real world- of working. Va is such a beautiful area and we love it. The weather was rainy the first 2 nights but who cares. you can just relax by the fireplace and listen nto the rain. Day 3 was gorgeous as was the day we headed for home. The cabin has everything you could need. it was more than we hoped for.
Thank you Tom and Faye.
Had a great time |

The Log Cabin is a total retreat from all of the stress of the big city. Immediately we felt right at home. The cabin is equiped with all of the comforts of home. We toured the area during the day and at night we cooked and read books sitting next to the fire place. We had a wonderful time. Thanks so much we hope to return soon.

| We stayed at "Bradshaw's Cabin" October 24 - 28, 2005 and had a delightful time. The cabin is inviting and we felt immediately at home. We loved everything about our stay and will defintely recommend "the cabin" to all of our friends and family. It is a wonderful place to get away from it all and just relax. |

Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw,
Thank you so much for allowing us the honor of using your cabin. My husband is a Chaplain at the Pentagon...and it had been a very busy month for both of us. We were excited about getting away for awhile and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed the cabin very much and we enjoyed seeing the Natural Bridge and Lexington. We also enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Pink Cadillac. We were so relaxed by the time we returned home. My city dog who has never seen a horse, cow or that much ground enjoyed your cabin also. Know that we were truly Blessed by being able to spend the time at your cabin Again, thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Bradshaw and the quilts that your wife has placed on the beds are beautiful. May God Bless you both for the Blessings you give to others by sharing your place. Sincerely, Janice and Mike |

| Enjoyed a wonderful weekend in the Virginia cabin. I wanted a quick getaway in a stress-free environment and this was the perfect place. Once I arrived I never left until time to pack up. The hammock gives a wonderful nap and the jacuzzi is the perfect way to relax before bed. Overall the cabin was well stocked with anything I could have needed. |
