Tradition #8: A Home Away From Home

Over the past 10 years, some of our guests have become much more than visitors. They’ve returned year after year, sometimes staying for weeks at a time, until Bobbi’s Bungalow has become their home away from home.

From an Arizona couple who hangs their state flag on our front porch every year, to a California couple who has returned for seven years, to a special guest from Alabama who became a dear friend, these returning guests have created some of our most meaningful memories.

And that’s one of the things we’ve loved most about the past 10 years—watching guests become part of the story of Bobbi’s Bungalow. ❤️

Read Tradition #8: A Home Away From Home on our blog and meet a few of the special people who keep coming back.

What I didn't expect was how many guests would eventually begin to think of Bobbi's Bungalow as their home away from home.

Tradition #7: Discovering the Fun Around West Liberty!

Sometimes guests come to West Liberty for one special reason—and discover so much more!

This summer, a family stayed at Bobbi’s Bungalow for three nights to celebrate their daughter’s birthday and visit Ohio Caverns. Along the way, they explored West Liberty, enjoyed our local shops and restaurants, met some friendly locals, and fell in love with the area.

From Ohio Caverns, Marie’s Candies, Piatt Castle Mac-A-Cheek, Stoner’s Ice Cream Parlour, Freshwater Farms and the Champaign Aviation Museum to shopping in Urbana and Bellefontaine, there’s plenty to see and do!

And sometimes the best part is simply stepping out the front door, enjoying the front porch, taking a walk, and experiencing small-town hospitality.

👉 Read Tradition #7 on the blog and discover some of the great places to visit when you stay at Bobbi’s Bungalow!

One of the things we love most about having guests at Bobbi’s Bungalow Guest House is hearing what brings them to West Liberty—and then discovering that they find so many more reasons to enjoy their stay.

Tradition #6: Special Guests

Over the past 10 years, Bobbi’s Bungalow has welcomed some pretty interesting and memorable guests!

Musicians and performers who came to town for the West Liberty Labor Day Festival, including Allison Iraheta and Halo Circus, Jon & Valerie Guerra, and Tasha Layton.

Astronauts Rhea Seddon and Robert “Hoot” Gibson, who were in the area for the Champaign Aviation Museum’s Annual Fundraising Gala. Their signed photo and autographed book still have a place in the bungalow!

Authors and bloggers, including Kristy Burns of My Town Travels, Travel Small Towns and My Town Today, and local author Pam Defibaugh, who writes under the pen name P.K. Hudson.

Local businesses who have used the bungalow as a place to step away from the office and focus on their team and business.

And guests who came for reasons that were much more personal—a traveling nurse, families whose homes were being repaired, someone who needed a safe place to stay while getting back on her feet, and families simply coming home to visit the people they love.

But here's what I've learned after 10 years of hosting:

You don't have to be famous to be a special guest.

Everyone is special to someone.

Whether you've stayed at Bobbi's Bungalow for a family visit, a wedding, a festival, a business trip, a sporting event, or simply because you needed a comfortable place to stay, you've become part of our story.

And for that, I'm truly grateful.

Come read about some of the special guests who have walked through the doors of Bobbi's Bungalow over the past 10 years.

♥️ Tradition #5: Making Time for Family

Over the past 10 years, we’ve welcomed so many guests who come to West Liberty for one simple reason—to spend time with family.

Some travel across the country to visit parents. Some return year after year to see loved ones. Others have families that have grown or parents who have downsized, making Bobbi’s Bungalow the perfect home away from home.

And I love making the bungalow feel especially welcoming for those holiday visits. I decorate for many of the holidays including autumn and Christmas to add a little extra warmth to those special times of coming home.

In this week's blog, I’m sharing a few of the family stories that have become part of Bobbi’s Bungalow—and why making time for family is one of the traditions we’re honored to be part of.

And if you’ve ever stayed at Bobbi’s Bungalow while visiting family, we’d love to hear your story! ❤️

Tradition #4: Celebrating Youth Sports

Over the years, I’ve welcomed families coming to West Liberty for softball, football, wrestling camp, marching band competitions and more. After a long day of games or competition, it’s nice to have a comfortable house to come back to, relax and recharge!

West Liberty Lions Club Park also hosts softball tournaments, including the annual Co-Ed Slow Pitch Softball Tournament held during the Labor Day Festival, which is this weekend!

Come enjoy everything the Labor Day Festival has to offer—and then come home to Bobbi’s Bungalow!

*UPDATE: Since this blog was posted, Labor Day Weekend has been booked, so it is no longer available.
