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.

Everything about this home is terrific…especially relaxing with a glass of wine on warm evenings on the porch swing! The host, Donna, is incredibly gracious and the house manager is friendly and a wealth of information about Lexington and the surrounding area. Already looking forward to our next stay!

Our family stayed at this lovely home for our son’s July wedding weekend in Lexington. It was great for all of us to be together, yet have room to spread out. The home had everything that we needed and we enjoyed all of the spaces… the charming front porch, the lovely living room, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable family room. It was nice to have a first floor bedroom for grandparents. Upstairs bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. On wedding day, our son and his groomsmen enjoyed lunch together at the big table in the back room, then dressed in the large dining room with mirrored armoire! It was perfect!
Our only issue was that the sunroom (with trundle) where I had planned for our young grandson to sleep is not air conditioned and on a hot July weekend, the room never cooled off, so we had to make a bed for him on the floor in another bedroom. Just be mindful of number of beds needed and time of year.
Owners were lovely to work with and accommodating. We would definitely choose Whitewood Hall again. It was a perfect place!

Gorgeous Stay
This house in downtown Lexington was the perfect space for my family as we gathered for a memorial service. The historic house is beautifully renovated and decorated, very clean, and is well stocked. Perfect location to walk to shops and restaurants and a relaxing front porch with ceiling fan to keep you cool on summer evenings. Hope to stay again! .

Fantastic Stay!
We were in Lexington for our daughter’s wedding at the Seclusion If I could give 100 stars I would! The house is fabulous and oh my the front porch! You never want to leave! But downtown is within walking distance for those wishing to take advantage of later night fun. Annalisa gave us so many great activity/food options . We passed a few on to our friends who were also in town. Thank you for adding so much to our wedding weekend enjoyment!

This is an excellent property for a visit to Lexington with a group of friends. Tons of space, nicely renovated kitchen and living room area. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Great wifi. Beautiful porch and back yard. Very central location to downtown Lexington within short walking distance to Washington & Lee campus. Would 100% stay again.

Family Adventure in Lexington
The house was great. It is very well equipped and in a great location for walking into town. It is a historic home so it has some quirks, but they just add to the charm. I will say the 6th bedroom (sunroom) doesn't have an A/C vent & can get very hot. This wasn't an issue as we did not use that room, but it is something to consider if your group needs all the beds.

Best graduation weekend ever!
Our daughter was graduating from VMI and commissioning in the navy. Donna’s home was perfect for our weekend celebration, offering plenty of room for our party of 12 to sit and talk and just enjoy being together. This house featured every comfort of home that you can imagine and then some! I wish we could have stayed longer, we hated to leave!

Perfect Place to Stay during VHSA Finals!
The house was beautiful. Well kept and spacious. It had everything you needed for your stay. It was well located in Lexington where we walked to the coffee shops in the morning or to pick up dinner at night from the local restaurants. The owners and friend who took care of us was super friendly and informative. Only 10 minutes from the Horse Center. Will definitely stay there again! Thank you!

Wonderful Home, Amazing Owners
We spent an extended weekend in Lexington at this beautiful home. The location of the house was perfect, minutes from downtown and the W&L campus. Our family so enjoyed gathering for breakfast around the bright and cheerful kitchen table. The kitchen itself was well stocked with every imaginable tool and appliance. The bedrooms were delightful and beds were very comfy! The entire house was spotless and impeccably decorated with beautiful antiques and artwork.
So enjoyed working with Donna and Bill. They went out of their way to ensure that our stay was perfect.

A Perfect Getaway Weekend Experience
The choice of Lexington and this beautiful home was the perfect combination for our ladies group getaway weekend. The accommodations could not have been better or more inviting and comfortable. And its location was perfect for walking around the city, touring, eating great food and coming back to a beautiful and relaxing home. We have been taking these weekend trips for several years now and we all agreed this was the best ever. We will definitely be going back to Lexington and hopefully this home will be available when we do.
