Within minutes of checking in and being greeted by host, we felt completely at home. Well appointed, great gathering spaces, large eating area, and beautiful setting. Great walking access to park/trail and downtown. Made a special family gathering very memorable.

We came to town for my son’s wedding. My kids and 2 young grandchildren stayed with us. Fantastic. Front porch was awesome - we sat outside 3 out of 4 nights on the porch swing. Every morning the family congregated on the porch. Easy walk to the center of town. It was everything we hoped it would be.

It was an honor to stay at Whitewood Hall. Our family was there for 4 nights to celebrate my son's VMI graduation and Army commissioning. The location was very conveniently located to Main Street and also is a 10-minute walk to VMI's parade grounds and Cameron Hall. The house was comfortable and spacious enough for those who wanted to relax on the front porch, watch TV in the family room, or sit quietly in the living room. We didn't get to spend as much time enjoying the front porch as we wanted, graduation week at VMI is very busy, but it was a comfort to come back to Whitewood Hall to make a quick lunch or a snack, and then head out back to VMI for the rest of the day. The kitchen was spacious and worked well for us. The beds were comfortable, everyone slept well. The yard was gorgeous and very green, many different kinds of birds were out throughout the day. Even a deer ran through the front yard one evening, it was a beautiful sight. Donna was attentive and answered questions we had right away. We had a memorable and blessed stay!

Whitewood Hall was absolutely perfect. Everything was so comfortable and welcoming. The home and grounds are beautiful, clean and very modern within a historic home. I would highly recommend Whitewood Hall and look forward to my next visit.

We (family of 5 - 2 adults, 3 teens) rolled into Lexington on a Thursday evening and stayed through Sunday. The home was lovely and the convenience of walking distance was fabulous for us to come and go, dine and sight see, walk to W&L Campus, etc. Plenty of room for more - as we were hoping another couple and their son were joining us - home would easily have accommodated 2 more adults and another teen. Beds were comfortable, kitchen / living area wonderful and front porch made for a relaxing retreat! As my husband and I are W&L alums, hope to re rent for reunions and other events in the future!! Owners and local friend very easy to reach with any questions we may have had, overall 10 stars if I could!!

This is an amazing, well appointed, beautiful home. We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the front porch, cozy family room connections with old friends, meals via the upgraded kitchen, and good nights rest in the comfy beds. This is our favorite home in Lex and where great memories are made. Hosts are responsiveness and Anna-Lisa was so very helpful at check in and throughout stay. Thanks for sharing your home.
