Perfect Vacation Place

Stephanie was welcoming, helpful, and supplied us with everything we could possibly need. The house is spacious and beautifully furnished. The view from just about every room is spectacular. There is a lovely walking trail along the Maury River only minutes from the house and Lexington is a ten-minute drive with it's cute shops and great restaurants. It's just perfect for a vacation or a gathering of friends and family.

Our annual motorcycle trip to Lexington,Va and we decided to look for other options besides a hotel. We found This Property and booked it. All of the guys loved it.

Amazing house, amazing views

Stephanie is an incredible host. She thinks of every little detail and provides so much in the house that you would need! She truly thinks of everything! She was always available if needed! The house is wonderful with amazing views front and back! We saw deer and turkeys every morning. Close to all you need! Stephanie even allowed us to go to the barn and meet her mustangs! It was truly an incredible experience! We will be back! Thanks Stephanie!

Water Tough Hill

The house accommodated our family of 7 as we were in town for my nephew's wedding. There was MORE than enough room.. I was the florist for the weekend - and having access to the screened porch, the large kitchen with work island and long dining table - made my work so easy. The views back porch for sunrise, front porch for sunset - were spectacular. Stephanie was immediately helpful every time I needed a local suggestion - whether it was food, grocery store or local greenhouse for additional materials for the wedding. We are already planning a return visit in the fall just for relaxing!

We were stopping through on our way to the Great Smoky Mountains and had a lovely time here. It was exactly what we were looking for. The house has ample space and is nice and quiet. Make sure to do the Lexington Carriage Company historic tour, very informative!

GREAT Location and Amenities

We really enjoyed our stay at this home - it was SPOTLESS, very well appointed with many "extras" provided by the owner. Great common spaces, including a porch and outdoor patio. While we were only two, this is a great place for a group. The mountain views are really lovely. We would definitely stay here again. Only minutes from Lexington.

A gym in the Blue Ridge

For a quick getaway birthday weekend, we took the family and the kids friends for a trip to Lexington. We spent the day at natural Bridge and came home to a wonderfully delightful house! Everyone had ample room for private time as well as well laid out dining and family rooms for games. The mid teenage kids played a variation of Flashlight tag in the fence in property. The views are absolutely amazing picture and look unreal! We stayed at VBROs quite often. The host was so wonderful leaving half gallon of milk, full-size toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and soap.. Just an absolutely lovely place to stay five stars does not truly encompass. How wonderful of a home and a host this property is.If we’re back in Lexington, for some reason, we hope to be able to stay here once again

Perfect Stay

Everything about this stay was excellent. From the communication with Stephanie before arriving to the cleanliness and thoughtful touches of the home to the beautiful views - it was a wonderful place to spend Thanksgiving! (Stephanie even brought over fruit, milk, and ice - so lovely!) The home had everything you would need and more! The kitchen was very well stocked with everything to cook a big Thanksgiving meal! Stephanie had all the basics in the bathrooms, plus extra toothbrushes and razors if you forgot yours. The towels and blankets were soft and plush. It was the best place to relax, get comfy, and enjoy family time. It is a little over an hour from Monticello, about 25 minutes from the natural bridge, and 5 minutes from downtown Lexington. Make time to visit downtown while you are there. The town is cute, the shops are great, and be sure to visit TAPS. It is a classy and fun hangout. I hope we can visit again!

Beautiful Views!

Our favorite feature of this house is the beautiful views from all windows. The rooms are spacious and clean. The house is well-stocked with toiletries, kitchen and laundry products, thick towels, etc. - more than other places we’ve rented. Stephanie is a pleasure! We were seeking a quiet week of relaxation, and this rental was perfect for that. But, there is much to do in the area and plenty of space for children to play inside or outside.

Amazing property

It was an amazing property. Stephanie greeted us when we got there and showed us around the home. It was a peaceful location and had amazing views of the mountains and we had a family of 8 deer wondering around the property at different times of the day. Stephanie was even nice enough one evening to take us down to see her horses and explain things about them. Was close to VMI and we will definitely stay again

This rental has everything you need - from a well-appointed kitchen, lots of linens, supplies of all kinds including toothbrushes, shampoos and soaps, to breakfast items and extra ice. It is a sprawling house with a lot of room to spread out. A large, enclosed back porch is a great place to visit and take a nap. There are several areas on the property to set up yard games. Highly recommend.
