Happy Trail Runners! We have a modest place in Big Island, VA (about 20 minutes from Bedford and 30 minutes from Lynchburg).  It’s right near Terrapin Mountain (see photos) and close to the Blue Ridge Parkway.  If you are considering a trip out to this area to do some hiking or trail running I’m happy to hook you up for reasonable price! We are not on Airbnb or VRBO, I am limiting it to folks who are friends of Happy Cat. We try and get out a lot but if you have a weekend in mind, send me a DM and we can chat about it!  It might be a “face only a mother could love”, not fancy at all, but to us it is a gem of a place with complete privacy and beautiful surroundings 🏔️ 

High-speed Internet
Smart TV
Best suited for couples
Queen bed, twin bed
Pet friendly
Private quiet lot
One bathroom
Outfitted with about everything that you could need!

I had a blast yesterday at the Taskinas Creek Half Marathon! Everyone who attended helped to create a positive, supportive environment for all 😊 I love the trail running community!

The beauty of the park and the mild weather made me look good. If you are in the area again, there are many more trails to explore in York River State Park plus kayaking, fishing and educational programs. It is also a great venue, renting the picnic shelters, to have a party/celebration!

Thanks to our wonderful volunteers! They were awesome out on the course. Just a reminder of who we had out there:

The North Face Outlet in Williamsburg supports most of the Happy Cat races- they are pros!

Colonial Sports- they have a screen printing side of the company and they also direct races and serve the community with a retail running store: https://colonialsportswilliamsburg.com/

The Ruck Club at Crossfit 1607- You do not have to be a Crossfit member to join their group!

Winding Way Running Company- Brian and his crew put on races and their next one is a Half Marathon, Oct. 26 at First Landing State Park:

Plenty of other folks who helped as well- thanks Anne, Irene, Kellie, Mark, Tricia, John, Barbara, Sarah, Norma, Christiann and Tricia Wingard who brought along Happy Cat Hike clubbers Deb and Kirsten to sweep and clean up the course markings! Thanks to Mike who was out on his mountain bike basically everywhere. Special thanks to York River State Park for the support. We are so lucky to have the park in our area!

Thankful to be hiking the three Peaks of Otter today, Sharp Top, Flat Top, Harkening Hill.  Listening to The Women by Kristin Hannah. So glad to see the mountain laurels are still blooming.  Thanks for the book recommendation Stephanie
