The bathrooms are completely upgraded with top of the line utilities, tiled showers, a jetted tub and a refinished claw foot tub that is original to the house. The interior of the home incorporates many original features including the river rock chimney in the kitchen and two chimneys, outside, the original floorboards on the wall of the living room, the oak staircase, the attic floorboards on the Great room shelving, trimming and kitchen island and the exposed ceiling trusses in the upstairs bedrooms. The exterior of the home features one of the historic hand built rock and steel bridges that used to extend across the Maury River and gives this part of the Shenandoah Valley its namesake - Rockbridge County. Everything we have done to this beloved home and property has been to provide contemporary comfort while also preserving her former aesthetic and charm. Between the extensive amount of amenities provided In the home, the river access with a canoe and kayaks and the picturesque location, it is our sincerest hope that our guests have everything they need to have an exceptional stay full of joy! ***For all guests intending on enjoying the river, we highly recommend you bring water shoes as some of the rocks can be slippery.

This was one of the best rental experiences I have ever had. This property is terrific. Antique yet renovated. Very kid friendly. Right on the river. The hosts were so kind and welcoming. We will come back and rent here again.
I knew things were going to be great when I saw the detail of the house and all the thought put into it needs for adults, children and emergencies.

This place has it all. Amazing setting on the river, everything you need to spend quality time upside enjoying the outdoors and the river, very well stocked bathrooms bedrooms and kitchen. Spotless and super comfortable.
Beautifully upgraded, nicely maintained, well supplied, great outdoor spaces. Plenty of beds and couches and really nice lavatory facilities. Hosts communicated quickly and had a ton of local info and history on site. Little touches and amenities were excellent. One of our group will likely bring his family to this choice. It was off-season for affordability, but what a sweet choice. Devil's Backbone food and brews was relatively close and good rating as well.
The space was amazing, clean, accommodating and every little detail was thought out. There was never a question as to where things were or how to take care of them. This was by far the easiest check out process I have ever done! We would stay again and again. Oh and the yard and views, stunning
We were absolutely thrilled with our stay at this property. Very clean, spacious, and well stocked. We didn’t need or want for anything! The house itself is truly a treasure. A 10/10 experience.
The property is beautiful. The home was well kept and very welcoming. Lee even helped us get a pair of scissors to cut our son’s hair before our big event. It’s the best short term rental I’ve ever experienced.
We stayed here with some members of our horseback riding team for an event at Virginia Horse Center. Just 15 minutes from the Virginia Horse Center, and a perfect spot to hang out with the team’s riders, parents, and trainers. The location was fantastic for kids! We had a fire pit, kayaked on the river, and had lots of fun! He house is very well appointed and the hosts were so hospitable!
Beautiful house and very generously appointed. Perfect location for our three generation family getaway. The owners have provisioned the property very well - high quality linens, comfortable mattresses, a fully stocked kitchen perfect for cooks, many games and toys, a full library of books, and lots of quality outdoor toys. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.
We stayed with our adult children and infant grandson and wish we could have stayed longer! The hosts are extremely gracious and responsive; they have thought of every detail. We enjoyed games by the fire and there is a cradle of children's books. The kitchen is well outfitted and we even snipped some fresh herbs from the garden.
Wonderful large home for family gatheri g near Lexington VA
Our stay at the Maury House was exceptional. Thehost was accommodating ( we arrived an hour early) and available. The host responded to my questions immediately.
The house is beautiful, well appointed, and had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. There were seven in my group and the house could have held many more a d be very comfortable.
Highly recommend!

This home did not disappoint. We had everything we could possibly need. I loved the little signs around the home that explained different things. The welcome basket was a very nice touch. It was warm and cozy. There are just so many nice little touches you just need to rent this beautiful home and experience them for yourselves. Probably one of the best homes we have ever rented to be quite honest. Check it out you won't be disappointed.
Lee and Ian’s house in Rockbridge Baths offers rustic luxury about 20 miles from Lexington. It is the perfect place to relax with friends and family. I highly recommend bringing food and cooking in, as the house is located off a windy road that can be challenging at night or in bad weather. The house is extremely well appointed with every convenience. Lee and Ian are gold standard hosts-hospitable, flexible and accommodating.
Best VRBO experience ever. Stay here - you will Not regret it.
Lee and Ian should be doing consulting for VRBO owners that want to provide the over the top experience. I cannot express how lovely this place is. Everything about it was excellent. Extremely clean, comfortable, very roomy. They have thought of everything. Check out was also a treat - very little to do before we left. I am trying to think of when we might return to stay at this amazing house. Thank you both for being perfect hosts and helping make our wedding weekend even better.
This was the ideal property for our family vacation! We absolutely loved every moment of our time together at this extremely comfortable, clean home. Our hosts made great efforts to make us feel most welcome. The kitchen was well-stocked and organized and the use of the outside grill made meal prep a cinch! There were many board games and the shed, indeed, was filled with many outside toys and activities for all ages. The house was close to many attractions and our host provided fun filled activities to do including local restaurants and shops. Being steps away from the river was a welcome relief on hot afternoons! And evening walks on this quiet, country road were the perfect end to the day:)
Beautiful location. Spacious accommodations. Love all the king and queen size beds. Fantastic communication from hosts. Decorated for Christmas which we were gathering to celebrate with family from multiple states. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of space. If needed again for a large family gathering, this is the place!
The house is beautiful and very comfortable, but the owners are what make it a truly amazing experience. They were very kind, helpful, and responsive. We felt very welcome in the home, and every question was answered promptly.We will certainly be back!
The hospitality of the hosts was above and beyond. The house was very clean, very comfortable, and perfect for our family's gathering. I booked this house because of the table at which the entire family of 10 could sit together for meals. We are also very fond of older homes that have been remodeled for modern day use -- and this was inspiring!
The Maury River house was a perfect place for our family of twelve’s summer vacation. Beautiful area and surroundings, numerous close accesses to the river, many excursions available in nearby Lexington and the house had all the possible amenities we needed. The hosts were extremely attentive to our every need.
It was a great stay. The house is clean and well stocked. We were there for a family wedding at the Irvine Estate and it was an easy drive. The house has a lot to offer unfortunately we weren’t able to take advantage of it as we were busy with wedding activities all weekend. We recommend this property.
