The Huffman House Bed and Breakfast
For the third year in a row, Amy and I booked a room at the Huffman House Bed and Breakfast for our annual Virginia Tech Football weekend. Located only about 15 minutes from Blacksburg and in the opposite direction of the majority of the game day traffic, it makes for a convenient location during Virginia Tech Football Weekends. It also offers a unique charm that you just don't get at the Holiday Inn!
Amy and I really enjoy staying at Bed and Breakfast's and the Huffman House is one of our favorites!
Owners Carol and Ron Baker are excellent hosts, make you feel at home, and serve an excellent breakfast each morning (included in the room rate). The rates are a little higher than your typical hotel room, but like I said before, you don't get this type of lodging experience at the Holiday Inn!
One of my favorite things about the Huffman House is that it is also a working farm. I just love roaming around the property photographing the farm animals.
There are at least two cats that roam around the property:
Three Dogs
Amy with one of the Dogs
About a dozen beautiful horses.
A pair of pigs
Jack and Lily
Ron feeding Lily
Lily with Milk Mouth
Lily is very friendly and acts more like a pet dog, than a cow!

Here are a few more photos from around the farm:

A flock of Ducks and Geese hangs out in the creek that runs alongside the property

The Old Huffman Store that sits at the front of the property
I didn't even realize when I snapped this shot that the black cat is hopping across the yard
