Great stay
This place was clean, confortable and perfect for our group, and the owners were incredibly helpful and kind to us - they were even better than the place. Two very minor downsides - it's a bit of a drive into Lexington (about 6 miles, and a slow drive on country roads) where our activities were, and the high windows let in light earlier in the morning than we wanted to wake. But those were minor to us. We'd stay here again, without question.

Best hosts
Erin and Doug were the best VBRO hosts I have ever had the pleasure renting from. They were fantastic communicators and very helpful with area information. We were celebrating our son’s graduation this week . The house was the perfect, picturesque, location for a fun small party bbq. The kitchen had everything we needed and the home was beautiful and spacious. Some basketball, tether-ball, pickleball playing and ending the evening by the fire pit made for happy memories. A few guests even went to visits the cute donkeys. I would highly recommend visiting this VRBO location and enjoys the beautiful location.

Amazing views!
We loved the great mountain view! The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfy. The kitchen was well stocked. The host was quick to respond and very helpful. We enjoyed playing pickle ball and exploring the property. It was close to Lexington, but felt very far from everywhere! Calm and relaxing visit!

VMI Reunion Getaway
Beautiful place and perfect for our VMI reunion with some old friends. We also thoroughly enjoyed the "neighbors"--a mama bear and her 3 cubs. Definitely on our list for a place to return....thank you so much!

Perfect get away
Erin is so hospitable and a great host. The property is gorgeous….we wished it didn’t rain while we were there, so we could have explored the trails. Everything was just perfect.

Best rental ever!
My friends and I were in town for a wedding. The house far exceeded our expectations. The property was BEAUTIFUL and peaceful. There was a lot of privacy in addition to a lot of amenities. The cottage has everything we needed and more. The hosts were wonderful and accommodating. There was soft music and the lights were on when we arrived. They also had farm fresh eggs in the fridge and offered to save us a trip to the store. They let us check out two hours late because there was no one else checking in. The beds were comfortable and the view was gorgeous. They have put so much thought into every aspect of the cottage. The pictures do not do it justice! Will definitely be back if we are in the area again!
