  • My family and I stayed at Rose Hill for VMI Parents Weekend 2009. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Being "city folk" it was wonderful to escape to such a beautiful and well kept home that felt remote, but only a few minutes from downtown. Additionally, the convenience of being able to provide a home-cooked meal for our cadet was priceless. The house and property were beautiful, I took more pictures daily on the drive up and down the driveway than anywhere else on our trip. Thank you for a wonderful vacation, and a wonderful place to make a home away from home for our cadet, even if for just a few days.

    Guest Comment August 8, 2009 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose Hill Farm in August. The house was a delight; beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and charming. Each morning, we went downstairs to sit in the sunroom and watch the cows come down the hill. After only two days, we felt we were beginning to recognize the different cows. The bulls were easy to spot. There seemed to be a pregnant cow among the herd, and an older, graying cow would always station herself in front of the pregnant one, as if protecting her. We came to Rose Hill for the nearby hiking, and we also thoroughly enjoyed that part of the trip. The second day, we hiked up to the Devil’s Marbleyard, where our teenagers scrambled up the huge boulders like mountain goats. We watched and laughed from solid ground below the boulder field. Rose Hill’s charms are already calling us back. We hope to visit in the spring when the rhododendrons and mountain laurel are in bloom, in the fall when the leaves turn, and in the winter when the snow is falling (though we’ll use our 4-wheel drive vehicle to navigate the driveway in snow!).

    Guest Comment June 2, 2009 We visited Rose Hill Farm for our daughter's graduation from Washington & Lee. The setting is beautiful and we particularly enjoyed sitting outside under a large tree to watch the sun set. The property is minutes from the town of Lexington and is an ideal place to stay when visiting the area. We loved it. Ron & Brenda Cain – Richmond,VA

  • This beautiful farm house is in a wonderful location, convenient to W & L and VMI, and a great place for families or couples to stay. We have known this farm for years and are thrilled that it is now available to rent. The kitchen and sun porch are recently updated and great for entertaining or relaxing. The two bathrooms have also been updated. We have tried to find something to improve about this place, but it's nearly perfect, a real slice of paradise just minutes from Lexington!

    Withers Guest Comment: April 2009 Stayed at Rose Hill while visiting our daughter at VMI. The house was more than we expected as was the surrounding property. If you love history you will love Rose Hill. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Short drive to VMI and Lexington. Convenient to major highway. D. Withers, Santa Clarita, California

  • Comment Text: Relaxing and Memorable Family Vacation!Our family shares fun memories of our time at Rose Hill. Our vacations here have been some of the best we have had. Rose Hill is very comfortable and provides everything needed to relax. We have spent many afternoons reading and playing games on the beautiful sun porch while watching the cows graze in the meadows. Sunsets from the hillside are breathtaking. The newly remodeled kitchen makes cooking on vacation fun. We highly recommend this vacation rental. The historic and natural beauty of Rose Hill make it a unique experience. The owners are very helpful with lots of local knowledge and were a pleasure to do business with. We hope you enjoy your vacations here as much as we enjoy ours. We will be returning for more fun memories.

  • Lovely spot in historic part of country. Rose Hill is a warm, comfortable farmhouse nestled among beautiful hills and stunning landscape. Was rare and special treat to stay here and added a "total immersion" aspect to the experience of visiting the many nearby historic and important venues so closely tied to the early history of our country. I shall return to take in the sights and sounds of "living" on this splendid historic farm as I continue to explore the area! SK Morrison, Weston, CT.
