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.

A gym in the Blue Ridge

For a quick getaway birthday weekend, we took the family and the kids friends for a trip to Lexington. We spent the day at natural Bridge and came home to a wonderfully delightful house! Everyone had ample room for private time as well as well laid out dining and family rooms for games. The mid teenage kids played a variation of Flashlight tag in the fence in property. The views are absolutely amazing picture and look unreal! We stayed at VBROs quite often. The host was so wonderful leaving half gallon of milk, full-size toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and soap.. Just an absolutely lovely place to stay five stars does not truly encompass. How wonderful of a home and a host this property is.If we’re back in Lexington, for some reason, we hope to be able to stay here once again

Beautiful Views!

Our favorite feature of this house is the beautiful views from all windows. The rooms are spacious and clean. The house is well-stocked with toiletries, kitchen and laundry products, thick towels, etc. - more than other places we’ve rented. Stephanie is a pleasure! We were seeking a quiet week of relaxation, and this rental was perfect for that. But, there is much to do in the area and plenty of space for children to play inside or outside.

Amazing property

It was an amazing property. Stephanie greeted us when we got there and showed us around the home. It was a peaceful location and had amazing views of the mountains and we had a family of 8 deer wondering around the property at different times of the day. Stephanie was even nice enough one evening to take us down to see her horses and explain things about them. Was close to VMI and we will definitely stay again

Perfect Vacation Place

Stephanie was welcoming, helpful, and supplied us with everything we could possibly need. The house is spacious and beautifully furnished. The view from just about every room is spectacular. There is a lovely walking trail along the Maury River only minutes from the house and Lexington is a ten-minute drive with it's cute shops and great restaurants. It's just perfect for a vacation or a gathering of friends and family.

Generous Host; Lots of Room

This rental has everything you need - from a well-appointed kitchen, lots of linens, supplies of all kinds including toothbrushes, shampoos and soaps, to breakfast items and extra ice. It is a sprawling house with a lot of room to spread out. A large, enclosed back porch is a great place to visit and take a nap. There are several areas on the property to set up yard games. Highly recommend.
