About this property

Beekeeper's House

Two story brick colonial. Five bedrooms, 3 full baths, large formal living room, dining room, den, and Florida room. The master bedroom accesses a second story balcony. On the ground floor - there is a queen bed and a full bath with a walk-in shower. The home's builder had two hobbies - Beekeeping and construction. Over the course of his career he built 13 of the homes on Enderly Heights.

Always a dog family we welcome your pets as you visit the colleges, breweries, wineries and the many natural wonders of the greater Buena Vista, Lexington and Rockbridge County area that include Natural Bridge and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The house includes use of the two-car garage and a garage door opener. There are two “smart” TVs, the one in the den is 55” with a subscription to Sling TV, an Apple TV subscription and Disney+. The second TV is in the master bedroom.

COFFEE - when my family travels it is important to know what the coffee situation is - the Beekeeper's House has two coffee makers (drip and a Keurig) as well as a coffee bean grinder.

In 2024 I replaced most of the windows with Pella casement windows and I plan to add security cameras in three areas to the exterior of the house - doorbell cameras on both doors and in the garage. There are no cameras inside the house.

We had a wonderful stay in Karen’s welcoming home. More than enough space for the 6 of us. Clean and everything we needed. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Karen left us some snacks and a lovely welcome note, which was a nice touch. Comfy beds! Thank you for hosting our family!

Everything was super nice and clean. There plenty of towels and linens. Lots of dishes, pots and pans and anything you need in a kitchen. So nicely decorated and the owner went about and beyond to make us feel welcomed. We were there for our daughter college graduation. Everything was wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay at The Beekeepers House. We were there for a family wedding at The Seclusion. The house was plenty big with 4 bedrooms upstairs and 1 on the main level. It was exactly as described. It was also very nice to use the 2 car garage especially since it rained while we were there. It had a great family space. This home worked so much better than our group staying at a hotel in 3 different rooms. My mother in law loved that we were able to all be together. So glad I found this home. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This house is our home away from home! We book it at least once a year, and we love Karen and her family! They are super sweet hosts, and the house is so pet friendly. Our cavalier Sidney thinks of it as home, and she goes straight for her sweet dog bed left by the host in her cubby hole. Honestly, the neighborhood is great, the area has lots to do, and you will not be disappointed!

Nicest Home in the Area

We enjoyed our stay at the Beekeeper's House. We were in town for VMI graduation, and the house worked out perfectly for our extended family. The hosts were very flexible with us and that removed a lot of stress. We would definitely recommend this home for a short or long stay in the area.
