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

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
