About this property

Restored 1840 House with Gardens in Historic Downtown

  • Just blocks from Washington & Lee University and Virginia Military Institute, historic Middleton House offers privacy and seclusion in the heart of picturesque downtown Lexington. This handsome residence, with extensive fenced gardens, combines period taste--including antiques, art, and original c.1840 colors--with modern comfort. A sunny sitting room, generous dining room, and eat-in kitchen overlooking the garden provide an ideal setting for relaxing and entertaining. Bedrooms have excellent mattresses, high-quality linens, and their own bathrooms.

Middleton House is the perfect place for a get-away vacation, a party, a wedding reception, or a reunion. For comments from the Middleton House guestbook, please see our posted reviews.

Stellar, all around!!!

Beautiful, historic home located steps from everything downtown has to offer, with a very well stocked kitchen and fantastic screened in porch (where we spent much of our time!). We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate my son’s law school graduation.

Beautiful historic home!

This home is perfect for a larger group staying in Lexington. The home was very clean, well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. I would love to visit in the warmer months to take advantage of the porch and garden area. Being within walking distance of everything in town was so convenient. Peter was quick to reply when I contacted with questions. I highly recommended property!

Old Charm

We were in town to attend a Washington and Lee football game . This rental was perfect. The charm, decor and well stocked kitchen made the rental a solid 10. The location, parking, dog friendly atmosphere ,comfy bed, and vintage decor made it hard to check out. We will be back!

Great historical house in a perfect location

We stayed for Memorial Day weekend, and it was a wonderful experience. Excellent location across the street from 3 restaurants and within easy walking distance of all of the shops downtown. Cute screened in porch and private back yard with birds, flowers and a bunny that visited every day. Unfortunate truck noise outside between 5:00-6:30 am 2 of the days. Not sure if that happens every day or was just a fluke. Kitchen was nicely appointed with high end appliances and plenty of glassware and dishes. Excellent communication from the host whenever we reached out.
