Our stay was an absolute dream, with breathtaking views of the countryside and hosts who made us feel right at home. This is the perfect getaway for anyone seeking stunning scenery and truly wonderful hospitality!We will be back!
The area and place just outstanding. Clean and so well stocked with extras! Host was available with any needs you might have.. Beautiful place and views of the mountains from Vrbo great! Along with all the deer out every morning!
We have stayed here before and this property never fails to disappoint. The owner is responsive to our needs, and the space is always perfectly clean. We had to use the kitchen this time to cook a meal for a larger group at a horse show we were attending, and the kitchen was great and well stocked. Check in was a breeze, and flexible to our schedule. A big THANK YOU to our fabulous hosts!
This is an amazing property! Once we turned off the main highway, we realized that this was the perfect location for our stay in Lexington. It is a beautiful property, peaceful environment , with two hospitable and attentive hosts. Daily we encountered deer, and once a flock of wild turkey. The mountains in the distance are remarkable! We recommend this listing to anyone wanting to experience the Virginia countryside and the surrounding area of Lexington. Thank you again for sharing your piece of heaven with us!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully converted barn apartment. It was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly peaceful. Doris and Dennis were warm, welcoming, and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend this unique and charming spot!
Picturesque stay on a working horse farm. Stunning views. Comfortable, well-appointed apartment. Would absolutely stay again and have already recommended to friends.
Such a tremendous stay -- the hosts are wonderful and the space is exceptional. You'll not find a better location and more peaceful respite in Lexington!

The owners were nice. The setting spectacular. It was such a memorable weekend away. We loved walking around the property.
We loved our stay at this beautiful property with sweeping views of the Rockbridge hills and Blue Ridge mountains. Doris and Dennis are such generous hosts, and we had so much fun meeting the horses and Jake! The apartment is so cozy and had everything we needed. We only wish we could have spent more time there, and we can’t wait to return for another stay.
We were visiting the area for a horse show at the Virginia Horse Center. This was the perfect retreat after a busy show day. Beautifully furnished, comfortable, great views, and terrific hosts. We would love to stay again the next time we are in the area!
My husband and I were in the area for a horse show.
The barn apartment at Persimmon Ridge is a true "find." It is pristine with every imaginable amenity. The views are stunning! We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you, Doris and Dennis

This place is a gem. The apartment is has everything you would need. It's very comfortably decorated and the host has furnished it very nicely. The surrounding area is beautiful. Horse, cats and dog you can pet if you like. Just an overall great location and experience. So glad we stayed here.
This loft apartment above the lovely horse stables is off the charts! Owners are so welcoming and have gone out of their way to provide an unforgettable stay in the Shenandoah Valley. Our only regret was not staying a week!
We had the most amazing time at the cottage. Pictures do not do the property justice. It exceeded expectations. Doris and Dennis were amazing hosts who treated our children so well. Doris had breakfast stocked and the fridge had the essentials. The bed was comfy! Thank you Doris and Dennis!
One of the best experiences we've had with vrbo! Dennis and Doris were lovely couple, very kind and accommodating. The loft apt was just right and the view of the mountains incredible. Our son loved walking out in the morning to feed the horses. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Very convenient to Lexington. We had a wonderful time.
This is a wonderful mountain getaway on a working horse farm minutes from downtown Lexington. From the moment we booked, almost a month in advance, we received great communication from our Host Doris. Our accommodations were well-appointed and comfortable. Doris provided fresh eggs and milk and all of the drawers were well stocked with spices and cookware. Both Doris and Dennis made time for us to chat when we saw them during our stay. We appreciated their hospitality and their charming getaway. We definitely would stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Doris A Greywall
A number of years ago we retired to rural Virginia. We purchased active farm land, built a home, large barn, padlocks and a horse arena. We own several horses, and usually board several more.
Why they chose this property
Our farm is off the main road, and we have spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Lexington is an old fashioned, but very active town 5 miles away. Lexington is home to both the Virginia Military Institute and Washington & Lee University.
