The Maury River House: A Luxury Country Experience

Originally built in 1870, The Maury River House is a SUPER SPACIOUS, well appointed riverfront vacation home nestled in the Allegheny mountains of Rockbridge Baths, VA. COMPLETELY renovated, the house has 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, is highly infant & kid-friendly, sleeps up to 14 people comfortably, comes with a fire pit, firewood, 2 kayaks, a canoe and games, is 50 yards from the river, 2 minutes from Goshen Pass and 15 minutes from Lexington.. With easy access to local microbreweries, vineyards & outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking, fishing, & canoeing, the scenic location of this home is sure to please!

*We love hosting families and we especially welcome families with infants, toddlers and children. We know how difficult it is to travel with young ones and we have intentionally set up this house to be highly infant, toddler and kid-friendly!

Otherwise, only registered guests (meaning guests sleeping at the property and who are a part of the number count; not to exceed 14 persons) are allowed on the property during the duration of the guests' stay.

***My husband and I personally clean, maintain and manage this 153 year old home and property. Not only do we place a high standard on cleanliness and sanitization, but the stewardship of this space and the intention that our guests have a 5 star experience is very personal to us.

The bathrooms are completely upgraded with top of the line utilities, tiled showers, a jetted tub and a refinished claw foot tub that is original to the house. The interior of the home incorporates many original features including the river rock chimney in the kitchen and two chimneys, outside, the original floorboards on the wall of the living room, the oak staircase, the attic floorboards on the Great room shelving, trimming and kitchen island and the exposed ceiling trusses in the upstairs bedrooms. The exterior of the home features one of the historic hand built rock and steel bridges that used to extend across the Maury River and gives this part of the Shenandoah Valley its namesake - Rockbridge County.

Family Fun on the Maury River
We stayed with our adult children and infant grandson and wish we could have stayed longer! The hosts are extremely gracious and responsive; they have thought of every detail. We enjoyed games by the fire and there is a cradle of children's books. The kitchen is well outfitted and we even snipped some fresh herbs from the garden.

Great house for a weekend horse show!
We stayed here with some members of our horseback riding team for an event at Virginia Horse Center. Just 15 minutes from the Virginia Horse Center, and a perfect spot to hang out with the team’s riders, parents, and trainers. The location was fantastic for kids! We had a fire pit, kayaked on the river, and had lots of fun! He house is very well appointed and the hosts were so hospitable!

Rustic Luxury
Lee and Ian’s house in Rockbridge Baths offers rustic luxury about 20 miles from Lexington. It is the perfect place to relax with friends and family. I highly recommend bringing food and cooking in, as the house is located off a windy road that can be challenging at night or in bad weather. The house is extremely well appointed with every convenience. Lee and Ian are gold standard hosts-hospitable, flexible and accommodating.

Best VRBO experience ever. Stay here - you will Not regret it.
Lee and Ian should be doing consulting for VRBO owners that want to provide the over the top experience. I cannot express how lovely this place is. Everything about it was excellent. Extremely clean, comfortable, very roomy. They have thought of everything. Check out was also a treat - very little to do before we left. I am trying to think of when we might return to stay at this amazing house. Thank you both for being perfect hosts and helping make our wedding weekend even better.

Fabulous Family Retreat!
Beautiful house and very generously appointed. Perfect location for our three generation family getaway. The owners have provisioned the property very well - high quality linens, comfortable mattresses, a fully stocked kitchen perfect for cooks, many games and toys, a full library of books, and lots of quality outdoor toys. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.

This was the ideal property for our family vacation! We absolutely loved every moment of our time together at this extremely comfortable, clean home. Our hosts made great efforts to make us feel most welcome. The kitchen was well-stocked and organized and the use of the outside grill made meal prep a cinch! There were many board games and the shed, indeed, was filled with many outside toys and activities for all ages. The house was close to many attractions and our host provided fun filled activities to do including local restaurants and shops. Being steps away from the river was a welcome relief on hot afternoons! And evening walks on this quiet, country road were the perfect end to the day:)

Wonderful stay on the Maury River!
We gathered at the Maury River House for a family summer reunion this past week. The space was perfect for what we needed – comfortable bedrooms, modern bathrooms, and a great room that held us all for eating and socializing and playing games and watching movies. We swam in the river out front every day and up at Goshen Pass. The shed is full of river toys—kayaks, floats, tubes, mask and goggles—and we used them all. And croquet and horse shoes on the lawn! The owners are super responsive and helpful. What a great week in a beautiful spot!

We had a lovely and relaxing weekend at the house. The property is beautiful and probably the cleanest rental we've ever stayed at. We are a family of readers and were delighted to see so many books around the house. It was too windy during our stay to use the firepit, but we enjoyed playing horseshoes and croquet. The board games and "old school" Nintendo were really fun too. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful, spacious, overflowing with amenities!
The pictures really do not do this property justice! It is beautifully decorated with tons of amenities. It’s well stocked with amenities including personal welcome treats, firewood and an extremely well stocked kitchen. They had a ton of books for ALL ages! It was the most impressive that I’ve seen at a rental! The house is very private with tons of parking and right on the river. They also had kayaks, a canoe and a ton of yard games. They had a sound system, video game system, CD collection and movies. You can also log into the TV with your credentials for things like Netflix. The dining table was nice and large, and had plenty of room to seat our party of 10. Three families stayed comfortably over the weekend and no one really wanted to go home. The property was close to great hiking and a beautiful overlook. We met Ian, the owner, at the property, and he gave us an overview of the house. He was lovely and he and his wife are extremely generous with their guests. My only low mark is that you have to physically meet someone at the property. While his meeting short, and he was delightful, it adds a little bit of extra stress having to communicate your arrival time in advance and meet a stranger at night in the middle of nowhere. Again, he couldn’t have been kinder and check ins are flexible. They also let us know no one was coming in after us and we could check out whenever we wanted despite us not having to ask. They also have a very generous checkout process in terms of things you have to do before you leave. They were really amazing hosts!

The kitchen had everything we needed to make our holiday meal. Lee and Ian were so kind and made check in and check out super easy. The property itself was perfect for outside play with the little kids. Horseshoes, a walk down the lane, standing down by the river, s'mores over the fire pit--all of it made for a great getaway.

What a beautiful country property to break away and relax in. Large home, large deck, and huge yard was great for keeping our large group entertained. We filled the house with 6 adults and 8 children and it worked out perfectly. The attention to detail put into this home to ensure the best possible experience is hard to match.
