About this house rental

Come experience the magic of Alone Mill! Canoe, bike, hike or just hang out by the creek!

We are a 15 minute (6 mile) drive from Lexington, Virginia, home to Washington & Lee University, Virginia Military Institute and the Virginia Horse Center. Rockbridge County Virginia is home to the Maury River, the only river in Virginia that begins & ends in the same county. Spring, summer and fall are great times for running the whitewater in Goshen Pass or tubing the flat water into Lexington. Come to the country where you can stay up late, dazzled by the stars and the Milky Way.

In the late fall & winter, enjoy our cozy cabin and a game of pool. After dark in June and July, the lightning-bug display is amazing every night! Later in the summer and fall, the tree frogs and cicadas fill the air with their songs. The cabin is right on a popular (and challenging) biking route.

The School House is located within 300 yards of a river access point locally known as Alone Mill. Upstream is my personal favorite stretch of canoeing on the Maury, it's a peaceful 5 hour ride in slow water and can be as fast as 2 hours when the river is up! You can put in at Goshen or Rockbridge Baths and walk home from the take-out.

If you're more interested in a bubbling stream, Alone Mill Creek passes within 50 feet of the front door!

Rockbridge County also has thousands of acres of National Forest and State-managed land for hunting and hiking in the mountains. The cabin is within about 6 miles of access at Goshen Pass and other spots are equally close.

Other activities at the School House include a pool table, ping pong, basketball goal and badmitton set. The yard is large and flat, perfect for a football game, and the driveway is flat also, good for the little kids to practice bike riding.

A 1 mile walk will take you to weekend wine tasting at Lexington Valley Vineyard, one of several vineyards in the county.

Our family absolutely enjoyed staying at this beautiful property! We were in town visiting family and could not have picked a better place to stay! We will definitely be returning in the future!

Our stay was great. We are a family of 6 and the house had plenty of room for us. My kids loved the yard and the creek and the pool table. This was the best equipped rental we've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed as a big family from dishes to towels there were lots of extras. It was awesome for my toddler. There was a booster seat for the table, plug covers on outlets, and a pack n play. There were books, puzzles and games for every age. It was super quiet and the porch was great for coffee in the morning. We never made it to the big river, the creek in the yard was great. We recommend Rockbridge county pizza and pasta for dinner. Its by the superwalmart. And the Virginia Transportation Museum in Roanoke was worth the hour ride. We would for sure stay again.
