Thanks for everything!  This was a great experience.  Well deserved after working 72 days straight then coming here for 4 days catching well over 20 rainbows but nothing bigger than 12".  A lot of fun though.  thank you John & Libby.  You will definitely see me again.  -  Leslie, MI

Another wonderful weekend at your place of solitude.  A little windy for fishing but still managed to hook 3 or 4.  We look forward to our next visit.  Give Laddie a pat on the head and Rocky & Daisy.  -  Bristol, VA

Thanks so much for having us at your cabin.  It was so relaxing and made me feel right at home.  I enjoyed sitting on the swing and listening to the river.  Everything was beautiful.  I loved the strawberry bread and would love the recipe.  It was so nice to leave all my worries at home and come here and enjoy the outdoors.  I have never been trout fishing before and it was very interesting.  Caught my first trout!  It was very exciting.  - Salisbury, NC

We had another great vacation here at the cabin.  The weather was nice and worm and the fishing was so great too.  Thanks so much for Abby's Easter basket.  That was so thoughtful of you and she loved it!  Next time we come, we will have baby Logan with us!  - Vinton, VA

Once again we had a wonderful vacation at your cabin.  It was so nice to get away for a week of R&R.  The weather was great, the fishing was excellent and we all gained a bunch of weight!  Thanks so much for the warm hospitality shown us - as always.  -  Colonial Heights, VA

Thank you for having us.  Our stay was very relaxing and pleasurable!  I'm so glad I chose Chasing Rainbows for our honeymoon.  Libby, since the first time I spoke with you over the phone, I knew you were a sweet, warm hearted, giving loving woman.  As I told you, the pictures do this place no justice.  Chasing Rainbows is amazing!  We will be back and will also send more quest your way.  My heart was touched when we walked in and you had a beautiful dozen roses, a beautiful card, a bottle of wine and that delicious homemade bread.  I can't thank you enough!  -  Port Saint Lucie, FL

We leave tomorrow after a wonderful 4 days of adventure exploring this beautiful area!  John & Libby, we felt like we were visiting family when greeted so warmly by you and your animals.  The kids were delighted with the chocolate bunnies and Easter decorations.  The friendship bread was so thoughtful too!  We quickly settled in and have so enjoyed the homey cabin and gorgeous setting!  Highlights have been hiking at Grayson Highlands & biking the VA Creeper, nightly campfires & guitar sing-a-longs, smores have been unforgettable.  Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.  We will keep a bit of it in our hearts.  - Greensboro, NC  PS:  Since I wrote the note, I got this CD - thought you could use some of them - like the one with Abby & Daisy & wonderful fish pictures.

Your hospitality, tasty pumpkin bread & well appointed cabin have been justly praised.  Let us add our voice to the chorus.  The location, of course, is ideal.  We hiked 8 miles on the AT from Elk Garden, after having decked out in layers of wind protection, heavy duty boots, etc.  We also trekked untouched snow on the Va. Creeper Trail.  Knee deep snow had us wishing we'd brought snowshoes or skis!  4 wheel drive got us to the snow blasted summit of Whitetop Mountain.  An incredible view.  A word of caution to other hikers - the high country near Mount Rogers, etc. is terrifically gusty.  Bring plenty of wind protection, including something to cover your face.  Frostbite is a real danger.  Once again, thank you for everything & we hope to see you again soon. - Greensboro, NC - Burlington, VT - St. Joseph MI

Thanksgiving 2009
Thank you again for a wonderful resting place for our always fun but ever so crowed Thanksgiving at the Wallaces on Helton Creek Farm.  The girls loved to come back here after a busy chilly day outside & talk & catch up & rest in front of the cozy fire.  As always, your place is clean & inviting & wonderful.. Thank you again.  -  Greenville, NC 

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and especially the pumpkin bread!  The pictures on the internet do not even come close to displaying what a wonderful place you have!  We hope to come back when it not 10 degees with 35 mph wind gusts.  Brian really hopes to do some trout fishing!  We enjoyed a weekend of just laying around. - Charleston, VA

Once again thank your for sharing your piece of heaven with us.  Chasing Rainbows is our comfy, restful & peaceful escape.  We shopped in W. Jefferson at lunch at Frasers (great!).  Hiked the Va. Creeper Trail.  Russ is now backpacking & staying overnight in Grayson Highlands park.  I am snuggled in front of the fire sewing.  Thanks for the pumpkin bread - yum!  This is our 3rd visit and we will be back!  Pinellas Park, FL

Had a wonderful time once again.  The weather was good & so was the fishing!  Abby really enjoyed seeing the animals & playing in the creek.  We enjoyed our last night by the campfire which topped off a great vacation.  Everything was great!  Vinton, VA

Once again we had a wonderful vacation at Chasing Rainbows.  I especially enjoy the solitude in such a serene & beautiful place.  I hate to go back to the hustle & bustle.  Thanks for your always "cordial" and wonderful hospitality. - Hurt, VA
