Family Reunion House
Our sons and granddaughters had a wonderful time at this attractive and well-furnished and equipped country cottage. The occasion was their dad's/ granddad's 90th birthday parties in Lexington. They reported lots of goodies in the fridge, plenty of bedding, great to have washer& dryer. The youngest granddaughter loved seeing the farm critters. The grandparents found the place a little confusing to reach, but the kids did not..

Amazing weekend away
We had a fabulous stay - loved the views from the porch with our morning coffee and an evening glass of wine. The fire table was also a big hit - we spent most of our time hanging out around it. The kitchen had everything we needed. The entire house was super comfortable. We didn’t want to leave!

W&L reunion weekend
This house and property were a perfect place for past college roommates to reconnect. We enjoyed sunsets on the deck, s’mores around the fire pit, morning conversations in the comfy living room with coffee, walks to visit the neighborhood cows, and everything about how the house was set up! The beds were comfortable and the house well appointed with games and any kitchen items you might need. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Lexington’s historic downtown, but far enough away to feel truly in the VA countryside, it fit all of our needs for a weekend retreat!

PIcture perfect
Our family had a great visit over the Thanksgiving weekend. The home was nicely updated, very clean, and with beautiful property/views. We enjoyed seeing all the farm animals. The stars were amazing! Although a gas grill was available, my husband loved having the firepit grill to cook some of our meals. Two things to note that we didn't expect... 1. The property is 17 acres, but all but about one of them is cow pasture. Certainly not a big deal, but just an fyi if you were expecting more land to be able to explore. We didn't feel comfortable to go in the fenced pasture since the cows were very skittish and we didn't want to make them nervous. 2. Three of the twin beds are pull-outs that are shorter than a normal twin. Also not a big deal for most people, but they were too short for my kids who are 6+ ft. But overall we had a wonderful time and would stay again!

Wedding trip
Nice home, very spacious. Lots of bathrooms. Would help to have a door to the little bedroom off the kitchen for privacy since it's advertised as a bedroom. Basement was very dark when we came in. Hard to find the light switches or the stairs in the dark, and hard to haul suitcases up the narrow staircase. Would be better to have the main entrance and keypad on the main floor. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.
