The host is very easy to communicate with and responsive. The property was very well kept, fairly clean, and nice and quiet which is what we wanted from our getaway. Though it was quite dark and hard to see around when pulling up, it is absolutely fantastic when looking at the stars which we loved.

The property is spacious and private, a real advantage. The pool table was especially attractive to my grandsons, nine and 12, who had never played pool before. It was a fine thing to occupy their time.

We stayed here for W&L Parent’s weekend. So, we did not get to make use of the outdoor space much. The property is just as described and very clean. If I had questions, the responses were very quick.

We had a great stay! We stayed to come to the Virginia Safari Park that was 25 minutes away, and we also popped into the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington. The house was awesome, and so was exploring the creek and river! Charles showed us the path to the river so we could explore. An amazing stay!

This place was fantastic. I was going to an alpaca show at the Virginia Horse Center and it was a great place to bring my family. I will say that we did not have time to explore the grounds but the home provided everything we needed and couldn’t have done any better. Would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises.

The house was spacious and clean, the host lives nearby and greeted us when we arrived. The location definitely is remote in the woods but the yard was great to let our dog roam on a long leash.

We had a nice relaxing stay at the schoolhouse. It has a cozy “grandma’s house” vibe, perfect for a last minute visit with my college student. We appreciated the comfortable beds and that each bedroom could adjust the baseboard heat to their own comfort level. The kitchen was equipped with what we needed, and teens/young adults enjoyed the pool table. Once you get accustomed to the roads, the trip into town is easy and scenic. True to the listing, home isn’t fancy, but it was perfect for our relaxing long weekend.
