About the host

Hosted by Erin or Doug Kneer

Host profile image
Loving Christian family. We fell in love with the people in Lexington the first time we visited and decided it was the best place to raise our three children. We traded the sunny beaches in Florida for the cool mountain breezes.

What makes this property unique

The sounds of nature will ease your stress away. You will feel far away from the world but only ten minutes from town. You can walk/hike the trails or walk the mile-long driveway. Relax at the fire pit and feel safe to let your children wander. Close to VMI, W&L, and Natural Bridge Zoo.
