House is bigger than it looks in the pictures! Beds were super comfortable and the house was well stocked with everything you need for a visit. We were in town for my son’s wedding and hosted a family dinner for 20 people one night with plenty of areas for people to sit, chat and play games. Great communication with host and woke up with deer in the yard every morning Uoulp be surrounded by great views with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy them.

Wonderful and close to everything

We were stopping through on our way to the Great Smoky Mountains and had a lovely time here. It was exactly what we were looking for. The house has ample space and is nice and quiet. Make sure to do the Lexington Carriage Company historic tour, very informative!

This house was large and extremely well kept and fully stocked with anything and everything. Stephanie is a very attentive and personable host. Our stay here was very enjoyable and we hope to do it again in the near future. The 360 Mountain views are the best.

GREAT Location and Amenities

We really enjoyed our stay at this home - it was SPOTLESS, very well appointed with many "extras" provided by the owner. Great common spaces, including a porch and outdoor patio. While we were only two, this is a great place for a group. The mountain views are really lovely. We would definitely stay here again. Only minutes from Lexington.

The house was very large and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The views from the front and back of the house were beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the sun porch each afternoon as it was a little too cool to sit on the front porch. The host was very responsive and went above and beyond during our stay. My only complaint would be that the house could use a good dusting and window washing. I stayed with my 3 sisters and we would definitely stay at Water Trough Hill again. Thanks

3 sets of sisters (7 of us) spent a delightful long weekend at Water Trough Hill. The house met our needs perfectly! Lots of room to spread out; 4 bathrooms was a bonus; the views are amazing with outstanding sunsets; the kitchen is well stocked; there was plenty of hot water and lots of big fluffy towels. Stephanie is a great hostess. She had the house opened up for us, fruit on the counter and milk in the fridge. She was very responsive to any inquiry we made and was happy to introduce us to her ponies. We would love to stay at Water Trough Hill again!
