We had a lovely stay at the Diamond House - close to Lexington and VMI, gorgeous and well-equipped property, and plenty big enough to fit 4 adults and a toddler with room to spare! One of the best rentals I have ever stayed in - would absolutely recommend and stay again!

Wonderful unique property with thoughtful hosts

We absolutely loved the layout and details of the house. Great property with super thoughtful hosts that provided many nice amenities. It felt like they were always available but never invasive, and didnt leave us with a laundry list of chores to do on checkout. Wished every vacation home experience was like this.

This is truly a fantastic home! It is so well appointed, clean, and comfortable. I appreciated the thoughtful details- snack basket offered on kitchen counter, thick quality towels, impeccable craftsmanship of the upgrades, fall decor that made it so welcoming, the Rockbridge tourist materials, and the show your VMI or W&L spirit garden flags were extra cute! You can really tell this house is loved and it was a treat to stay there for W&L parents weekend. Also, check in was a breeze and the owners were delightful to text with regarding the booking.

Charming home

We come in annually for a horse show at the Virginia horse park. This year we selected Diamond house as our place to stay. I don’t think I have ever been in a VRBO that was as clean and meticulous for the guests. The code for entrance made access very easy and our host were easy to communicate with. Thank you for our stay.

Couples Visit

We rented the Diamond House with some other parents while we were visiting our daughter at W&L. The house was super stylish and clean and everything was brand new and thoughtfully designed. The house had everything we needed and it was a short walk to campus. Marquis, the host, was very helpful and communicative. We look forward to staying here again. We loved it!

The hosts provided easy communication. We were greeted with suggestions for activities and places to eat. The house was clean, inviting (nicely updated), and very well stocked. We were delighted to find a basket of snacks and a bag of ice in the freezer. The patio was a lovely place to relax after hiking and walks through town. I would highly recommend to others.
