An absolutely beautiful historic home. We fell in love with the property as well as the cows! There is so much history to discover about this home and the families that have lived there for generations. I went there not knowing what to expect and it ended up being exactly what my soul needed. Truly a beautiful family vacation we will never forget.

Lovely Historic home that could use a good cleaning

The home, although a bit out of the way, was beautifully situated. Unfortunately, it was only superficially clean and really needed a proper scrubbing.

Beautiful farm house and great views

We were in town for our sons wedding. House comfortably accomodated my family for the weekend. Beautifully historically decorated. Fields next to house back up to a cow pasture. Recommend for peaceful stay and those that like the historic setting.

Something for everyone

We all enjoyed this charming house. Loved the atmosphere, the views, location. Grandkids enjoyed the trampoline and toy room; grandparents loved the back porch, books, farmer's market, visits to local sites, Lexington, Staunton. We'll be back!

Nice place to unwind

Wendy was very easy to work with and has excellent communication. The views are wonderful and my children enjoyed the hammocks. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast for the first morning was a thoughtful touch. The toys upstairs were a huge hit with my youngest child and entertained him for hours.

Beautiful views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay while in town for a horse seminar in Lexington. The house is beautiful & the views are spectacular! Feels like you step back in time & experience life as it was 100 years ago. The house was clean & communication with the host was excellent We would love to visit again when we have more time to explore the area.

1700 farm house

It was ok. One window had cardboard in it. Heat was off when we entered it was very cold and took a while to warm up and not enough washcloths for everyone. Bed was ok pillow was essentially flat.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 October 2024
Thank you for your feedback. Yes we did have a window pane pop out recently and have not yet had a chance to have it repaired. That is high up on the list! In regards to the temperature, we are a very energy conscious location and don't leave heat and air conditioning on while nobody is there. All of the heating worked and it just needed to be turned on. In regards to the beds and pillows, all mattresses are less than one year old. I will look into getting a larger variety of thickness for pillows. And finally, the cleaner had forgotten the washcloths but did bring washcloths to the door for you once you let me know that you needed them.

A true step back in time

It was amazing to have the privilege of being able to stay in a home that is this timeless. However with an 1850's home, there are some aspects that may not be what you're used to, especially the bathroom facilities. They were OK, but a renovation in that area would be welcome. The beds are all comfortable! Great internet, too. I loved just seeing all the antiques ... and the beautiful views. We weren't often at the house because we were in town for our daughters graduation. It's a unique experience to stay in this home!

Charm, views, and cows!

We were there for a family reunion/Birthday celebration. The grounds are very cool. Beautiful views and a cow pasture right behind the house. There were so many cool finds in the house from antiques, to Old National Geographic’s and old books, to a ton of DVDs to watch on a rainy night. I agree with some other reviews that the place needs an update (paint, doors that close - and open - my husband got stuck in the powder room, updated bathrooms, better AC and Wi-Fi…). But it’s an old house and full of charm and I think that out weighed the rest. Wendy is very quick to respond and that helped a lot with planning our trip.
