Stunning views and warm hospitality

We loved our stay at this beautiful property with sweeping views of the Rockbridge hills and Blue Ridge mountains. Doris and Dennis are such generous hosts, and we had so much fun meeting the horses and Jake! The apartment is so cozy and had everything we needed. We only wish we could have spent more time there, and we can’t wait to return for another stay.

We have stayed here before and this property never fails to disappoint. The owner is responsive to our needs, and the space is always perfectly clean. We had to use the kitchen this time to cook a meal for a larger group at a horse show we were attending, and the kitchen was great and well stocked. Check in was a breeze, and flexible to our schedule. A big THANK YOU to our fabulous hosts!

This is an amazing property! Once we turned off the main highway, we realized that this was the perfect location for our stay in Lexington. It is a beautiful property, peaceful environment , with two hospitable and attentive hosts. Daily we encountered deer, and once a flock of wild turkey. The mountains in the distance are remarkable! We recommend this listing to anyone wanting to experience the Virginia countryside and the surrounding area of Lexington. Thank you again for sharing your piece of heaven with us!

My husband, adult daughter and I spent a weekend at this beautifully appointed barn apartment. We were the owners' first guests, and they anticipated every need. The space is open and bright; bed and sleep sofa comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen are well appointed. We have already booked a return visit!
