About this cottage rental
Please call and inquire about discounts.
(THIS HOME IS A LONG TERM RENTAL DUE TO ZONING REQUIREMENTS. ONE MUST STAY AT LEAST 30 NIGHTS OR MORE!)
Within walking distance to Lexington, this cottage is on a bluff above the Maury River across from Jordan's Point Park and VMI 's North Post. (A small portion of the walk into town is on Furrs Mill Road which has no sidewalk.) The Chessie Trail, an abandoned railroad bed converted for hiking, links the cities of Lexington and Buena Vista, and it begins directly below our house across the Maury River, which can be seen easily from our front porch in late fall (depending on when leaves fall from the trees), winter and early spring. This trail provides a wonderful, scenic hike for all age groups and levels of fitness. Although the cottage is very private and secluded, VMI, Washington and Lee University, gourmet eateries and unique shopping experiences can be enjoyed within a short walking distance. After a busy day at the Virginia Horse Center, one can return ( 2.4 miles) to the front porch of our cottage for a cool or warm (depending on the season) drink, relaxation and reflection upon the amazing beauty offered by this quaint community which is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A retreat for all seasons, this getaway offers the comforts of home! This simple cottage is clean and uncluttered and guests are most welcomed.

My friends and I stayed here recently while in town for our college reunion. The location can’t be beat- easy access to downtown Lexington, W&L, VMI, the Chessie Trail, etc. We will be back!

5.0 / 5.0
Overall impression of the property was cute, comfortable, clean, and super close to everything. It had everything we needed. We were initially a little nervous as we drove up the driveway because it was steep and bumpy and the immediate house on the driveway was a vacant home. Once we turned the bend and saw the actual home, everything was great.

It was perfect!! Location and quality!! Loved staying in a house while showing our Horses at The Virginia Horse Park!
5.0 / 5.0
The house was as described. Super clean with all the amenities one would need. We were really only at the house to sleep which was a shame as in nice weather there is more to enjoy. Maybe next time. The only thing I would say to add to the experience is that there needs to be at least four kitchen chairs around the table and there were only two. Not enough seating.

The house was perfect for our VMI Graduation. It is beautifully surrounded by trees where we were able to enjoy coffee on the screened in porch. Well stocked, comfy beds, and beautiful area
5.0 / 5.0
We loved the screened in porch.
The location is close to town but you feel like you in a secluded home in the country. The house was clean and well taken care of. We very much enjoyed our stay. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch talking and playing cards. There was a ground hog we named “Phil” that came every afternoon and deer as well as squirrels and birds.

Relaxing and very well equipped
This cottage is perfect! The location is very close to VMI and W and L and yet is surrounded by trees and a lovely lawn. The kitchen is very well equipped and new. The beds are comfortable. All in all it is perfect for an enjoyable stay. We hope to be back!

Visit with our grandson
We found the cottage to be very clean in a quiet setting. It was a rainy weekend for our stay but that added to the quiet. We found it to have plenty of room and loved the screened in porch and enjoyed breakfast there. Only negative was a musty smell which may have been because of the dampness of the rain. All in all we look forward to finding another reason to stay.

Comfy & Convenient to Virginia Horse Center
Cute cottage with everything we needed for our stay. The cottage — and the screened porch — was lovely to come back to after long days at the horse center. The owner was nice and responded quickly to a couple of questions I had. Cottage is also convenient to the town of Lexington as well as W&L and VMI. We would definitely stay here again.

Can't wait to stay here again next year
The place is actually much cuter than the pictures. So well supplied and taken care of. Loved the screened in porch. Never sat in any other room, just the porch. Had three clients over for pizza on the porch and they want to stay with us next year. Plan to book as soon as I know the dates for 2021. Thank you.

Very easy check in/out. Nice property with views of nature (deer in early morning, fireflies at night). Easy access to lots of fun areas! Awesome!

Cute Cottage in Lexington
The cottage was adorable, comfortable, and nicely furnished. The kitchen, which we used daily, was well-organized and well-equipped. It was spotlessly clean, though we did wipe down surfaces upon arrival, as a precaution during COVID-19 pandemic. We enjoyed seeing deer in the yard and the private setting.
The location is not bad, but I would not be comfortable walking into town...it would be a LONG walk, and at least part of the walk was on a busy road without sidewalks.

Lovely Lexington cottage
The home was immaculate and wonderfully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in. VIM families would love staying here while visiting.

Great hosts and great property!
Katherine was a great host and described the property perfectly. The cottage was spotless when we arrived and Katherine was extremely responsive to all questions and concerns. My family had a wonderful vacation in Lexington...and a great escape from the city. Much needed fresh air and outdoor time during the pandemic! The only surprise we had was the noise from the road. We didn't expect that but it did not ruin the feeling of seclusion and peaceful relaxation.

Parent's Weekend
The cottage is just a short drive, just over the Maury River, to campus. It was quite convenient for all the activities of the weekend. Thank you for your quick response to our questions.

The perfect little cottage!
3 VMI graduates back in Lexington for our 10 year reunion and this was the perfect spot to enjoy the weekend with each other. We were 4 adults and 1 child, and fit very comfortably. I loved how secluded, yet close it was to everything. The parking was plentiful and the kids could enjoy the gorgeous fall day outside in the yard. Everything described in listing as provided - I also loved the personal photos - it made it seem like I was staying at a friend's house. AC was great as well! Just like some of the other reviews, to be forewarned about the gravel hill up the driveway. It can be a little misleading (esp for this NYer!) but not bad afterall. Also, the no wifi but thankfully we were out of the house a lot. Lastly, the grill was wonderful to have but it sat inside the porch and after a long day of travel, we did not think to move it to the outside porch. I can totally understand why it's there between stays but maybe a sign would help? Just a suggestion. Otherwise 5 STARS! :-)

Matriculation Stay
We had a great stay! The house was exactly what we needed.
The beds were very comfortable. The a/c worked very well. Be aware, there is no wifi, but that wasn't an issue for me. Please note, the driveway is exceptionally steep and rutted. Some drivers may be uncomfortable with this. We would definitely stay again.
