What a lovely space. The king sized bed is extremely comfortable. Have enjoyed multiple stays here while transporting our horses. Only complaint is we couldn't have stayed longer.

Lovely, simple place in rustic setting
This loft was very cozy and comfortable; it had everything we needed: a small fridge, drinking water, a comfortable couch and bed. We particularly appreciated that there were bedside tables and lamps on both sides of the bed. We both like to read until we go to sleep and so often there is only one (or no) reading light, no place to put eyeglasses / a glass of water. Communication was very easy and quick. And Alice gave great suggestions for dinner and breakfast places in town. Her directions and info about her place were also quite clear, making arrival and our stay very easy. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

The loft sits centered on a delightful ranch with horses, chickens, ducks, and a friendly dog. We enjoyed the vista of tall trees and rolling hills from right outside the front door. Inside were very clean, cozy lodgings- we enjoyed the king-sized bed. It made spending the weekend in natural bridge state park a blast and we never had any issues during our stay. I would recommend this spot for a couple or small family looking for something a bit more personal and cozy while staying in the mountains of Virginia.

Pretty good, overall
Very nice safe place for my friend and I to stay on a weekend trip. The place was really cute and very clean. Just a couple discrepancies: the listing said there were snacks, there was one small pack of crackers, the coffee maker didn't seem to work, and the towels didn't smell very good. Great atmosphere and I can't stress enough how clean and safe it felt. I would totally stay here again!

Thanks for the feedback! I have a new housekeeper so she must have forgotten to bring snacks over. . . I Would have Been happy to run some up if you let me know they were missing. Nobody else has reported that the coffee machine wasn’t working —I have a spare I could have brought over if you told me you were having Issues. What did the towels smell like?? I have plenty of extras I could Have provided if I knew those didn’t smell fresh. Next time please feel free to tell me when anything isn’t right and I can probably fix it… but I can’t help if I don’t know there is a problem :)

I stopped here on my return trip from GA. We had a small mix-up with dates, but Alice jumped right on it and got the place ready. She does a great job with a relaxed demeanor. Even though the temps dropped below freezing, the loft was cozy and warm.

Scenic Rural Loft
Alice Bruno, the host, has created a great spot for an overnight stay or a hub for exploring the Lexington area. Rural, yet easy to find, the loft is clean, warm, well laid out, and spacious. There is a small flight of stairs to climb, but well lighted and with a useful handrail. Definitely would book again.

Chose this property for a short overnight trip to the mountains. It did not disappoint. The property was comfortable and the surrounding area was picturesque. Alice, the host, was welcoming and available if we needed anything. I would recommend the property if you like quaint, comfortable, and quiet. Just an FYI, there is no TV, but we were not there to stay indoors!

Countryside Haven of Rest
This rental is home-away-from-home cozy outdoor & in. Relaxed setting nestled in the beautiful countryside. A minutes drive to breathtaking mountain views on Thornhill Rd. Awakening to the soothing sounds of whistling birds and whinny of horses. This spacious rental was exceptionally clean making it easy to relax as one would at home. We enjoyed country luxury in quality linens, mattress, pillows, dishes and fine decor. Our host was promptly available but kept a comfortable distance as to always give us privacy and space with the added touch of always offering a polite smile, hello, & wave in passing. We are particular about accommodations and this surpassed expectations. A countryside haven of rest.

Too Many Stink Bugs
Due to an improperly installed window AC, when we arrived the studio apartment was infested with about thirty stink bugs on the ceiling, in light fixtures, and on the windows. I tried to call the owner who did not answer. My husband found her on the property. She left a hand vacuum on the porch outside--without coming in or talking to us--for us to get rid of the bugs ourselves. I found a relative downstairs in the garage who helped us. My husband stuffed paper towels around the window unit to prevent more bugs from entering. We would not stay on this property, again and we cannot recommend it.

It was nice to be in my own element. I have a paraplegic dog and this was as easy as it comes. The large loft is adorable, scanty in luxury, which is what I love about it. Has all the amenities. Wifi was great. My only suggestion would be a smart television with the apps people use. I’m absolutely fine without it, but some aren’t.

Farm Eclectic
This is our first stay at a VRBO (or anything other than a hotel or realty managed beach rental), so I have nothing to compare it to. It is a cute loft with a large bed and minimal amenities. The bed was firm but comfortable enough for a couple of nights. There is a small refrigerator, microwave, sink and dishes, however there was no dish liquid to clean the dishes so I had to buy some. Furnishings are farm eclectic and comfortable. The towels smelled stale (not sure if this accurately describes it - just not fresh and clean - again, I'm used to hotel linens) and the shower is extremely small. I'm only 5'2" and my elbows hit the walls while washing my hair. The loft is above a garage that is located adjacent to the owner's house (I didn't notice a house next to it in the pictures online). Also, the garage is used by the family so there is sometimes noise and activity going on below and around the garage. We were gone most of the day hiking and touring local sites, so we were only there in the evening and overnight - the latest we heard noise in the garage was 8:30pm. The stairs leading up to the loft are a bit steep - I would have liked a gate at the top to keep my dogs in the loft area while we went out to dinner (and for safety if you are traveling with a toddler). My husband and I noted that it would have been great to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful mountain views, but there is nowhere to do that and they cannot be seen from the loft. There are two small windows - one overlooking the owner's house and one with an air conditioning unit in it. I would say that if you are looking for a place to stay overnight while you are busy during the day, this place has eclectic charm and serves fine as a place to lay your head.

This was our first VRBo experience off the highway, tired of mediocre hotels. This was such a quite, comfortable, clever stay. Truly appreciate Being able to walk the country road after being confined all day. We slept very well and appreciated the decor and attention to cleanliness. Thank you Alice! May we come again in the fall?
