Exposed natural timber and stone interior blend with all natural hardwood floors providing guests with the truest sense of modern cabin life.

Virginia Tech and the Town of Blacksburg are the two primary draws to the area in addition to the multitude of experiences offered in the variety outdoor activities. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting and eco-touring through the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains represent a small sampling of things to enjoy in the area.

For the outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, the lodge offers remarkable opportunities for engaging with wildlife. Whether or not guests prefer a more passive porch loving approach or the hiking experience, the lodge and surrounding acreage will be sure to satisfy everyone's needs. In the immediate vicinity, guests may spend time on any of the quiet covered porch areas, each with a different perspective and view of the adjacent gardens and forest. The front porch swing and surrounding decks overlook the forest and small native plant meadow which is a favorite spot for flocks of wild turkeys as well as a suite of native songbirds. The adjacent side porch overlooks a quaint cottage garden and koi pond, offering an assortment of colorful butterflies and insects in warm months. The two third-floor bedrooms have adjoining back balconies offering commanding views of the Jefferson National Forest-- a perfect spot for viewing wildlife and finding complete solitude.

Stunning views of the Jefferson National Forest are possible year round from both of the third floor bedrooms as well as from the exterior adjoining porches. Guests often enjoy the early morning hours for bird watching and the early evening hours for listening to the choruses of frogs, toads and owls. For the Jefferson National Forest, the U.S.D.A. Forest Service reports more than 175 species of songbirds, owls, hawks and falcons as well as an assortment of frogs and toads to include American Toads, Fowler's Toads, Northern Spring Peepers, Gray Tree Frogs, Upland Chorus Frogs, Green and Wood Frogs and Pickerel Frogs.

    Prior to our arrival date, we received lots of information about the property, how to plan travel and find the house, and how to access the property. Everything was as described online. Very private, intimate decor, with adequate kitchen equipment. Everything in the house was up to date and worked well. Beds very comfortable. Lots of hot water. Very clean. Wonderful outdoor decks and porches.

    Far exceeded our expectations and wish we had more time. Super private location and very spacious inside. Exactly what we were looking for. Uber had not trouble finding us and we had pizza’s delivered one night. Perfect for a large family or alumni weekend to catch a game:

    We needed a place to settle while we moved our daughter in to Virginia Tech (we live out of state). The lodge was a perfect place to relax between trips back and forth to the VT campus. Beautiful location and peaceful!

    Lovely experience at your property. The location nestled in the forest was calming and relaxing. One of my friends and I noticed the pictures of the Bobwhite Quail in the downstairs bedroom. We recently volunteered with a group in north Florida moving bobwhite to PA. It was an amazing opportunity and seeing those pictures brought back those mercies. Thank you for the privilege of staying at your property.

    Very beautiful lodge in a peaceful setting. Was perfect for our family Thanksgiving week. Also nice proximity to VT campus. Communication with the owners was really good and responsive. Planning to stay there again.

    We were in town for a quick stay to visit our son at VT and catch a football game. The house is within 15 minutes of campus with great privacy for a family weekend. Plenty of space and views nestled in the woods. My husband even saw a bear walk by and we saw many deer in the area. We highly recommend this property if you want to get away from the busyness of downtown.

    Loved our stay at BML! Cute cabin in the woods. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for our group of 8. The location was perfect for our VTCC Reunion and going to the VT Football Game. Great communication with the owners. Would definitely stay here again!
