House is bigger than it looks in the pictures! Beds were super comfortable and the house was well stocked with everything you need for a visit. We were in town for my son’s wedding and hosted a family dinner for 20 people one night with plenty of areas for people to sit, chat and play games. Great communication with host and woke up with deer in the yard every morning Uoulp be surrounded by great views with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy them.
My family came for a visit so my son could check out VMI. The host was amazing and so responsive. The property was nice distance from VMI and provided the perfect retreat. We loved all the wildlife that we saw during our stay.
This place really was great and provided us with a nite away. Stephanie couldn't have been easier to work with, and she's taken the time to mail us back some things we left!
Stephanie is a superb host. Fantastic views. Plenty of room with a great 3 season porch. Everything you need plus more. We hope to return in the future.
Host is wonderful, considerate, very helpful & friendly. Provided fresh fruits, cake, milk, coffee, etc. for breakfast. Loved meeting her horses too. Home is spacious, well supplied with linens & toiletries. Location works well, is near Lexington, Buena Vista & major roads. Highly recommend.
Stephanie was welcoming, helpful, and supplied us with everything we could possibly need. The house is spacious and beautifully furnished. The view from just about every room is spectacular. There is a lovely walking trail along the Maury River only minutes from the house and Lexington is a ten-minute drive with it's cute shops and great restaurants. It's just perfect for a vacation or a gathering of friends and family.
We arrived and our host took us on a tour of the home. She had milk in the fridge for us which was incredibly sweet. The kitchen has everything you need and is spacious. The house is spacious enough for a family to spread out. Views are beautiful! Host is absolutely fantastic!!!! You will absolutely love your stay. Can’t wait to come back!
Great house. Views for days. Had daily visits from the local wildlife (deer) in the yard. They were beautiful. Easy in and out to Lexington and other points of interest. Stephanie was great. Will come back when we can.
Our annual motorcycle trip to Lexington,Va and we decided to look for other options besides a hotel. We found This Property and booked it. All of the guys loved it. It was perfect, everything we needed. And Stephanie the property owner was THE BEST! She had suggestions and provided all of the items guys would forget. Best Trip Ever! Thank you VRBO and more importantly to Stephanie who made our trip Awesome.
The mountain views are amazing. Capture the sunrise and sunset from front and back porches. Visit the beautiful mustang horses at the barn. Enjoy fun dinners with family at the large dining room table. Snuggle up in the living room to watch a show or play cards and board games. Take long walks along the Chessie Trail just 5 minutes away. Or venture out for an amazing hike on any of the numerous hiking trails in the area. Stephanie, our host, is terrific and so welcoming and engaing.
Stephanie is an incredible host. She thinks of every little detail and provides so much in the house that you would need! She truly thinks of everything! She was always available if needed! The house is wonderful with amazing views front and back! We saw deer and turkeys every morning. Close to all you need! Stephanie even allowed us to go to the barn and meet her mustangs! It was truly an incredible experience! We will be back! Thanks Stephanie!
The house accommodated our family of 7 as we were in town for my nephew's wedding. There was MORE than enough room.. I was the florist for the weekend - and having access to the screened porch, the large kitchen with work island and long dining table - made my work so easy. The views back porch for sunrise, front porch for sunset - were spectacular. Stephanie was immediately helpful every time I needed a local suggestion - whether it was food, grocery store or local greenhouse for additional materials for the wedding. We are already planning a return visit in the fall just for relaxing!
The house was very large and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The views from the front and back of the house were beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the sun porch each afternoon as it was a little too cool to sit on the front porch. The host was very responsive and went above and beyond during our stay. My only complaint would be that the house could use a good dusting and window washing. I stayed with my 3 sisters and we would definitely stay at Water Trough Hill again. Thanks
3 sets of sisters (7 of us) spent a delightful long weekend at Water Trough Hill. The house met our needs perfectly! Lots of room to spread out; 4 bathrooms was a bonus; the views are amazing with outstanding sunsets; the kitchen is well stocked; there was plenty of hot water and lots of big fluffy towels. Stephanie is a great hostess. She had the house opened up for us, fruit on the counter and milk in the fridge. She was very responsive to any inquiry we made and was happy to introduce us to her ponies. We would love to stay at Water Trough Hill again!
Comfortable, spacious home in a gorgeous setting. Clean, well-furnished and tastefully decorated. Four college friends gathered for the first time in many years. This was the perfect place for a relaxing, great time.
This house was large and extremely well kept and fully stocked with anything and everything. Stephanie is a very attentive and personable host. Our stay here was very enjoyable and we hope to do it again in the near future. The 360 Mountain views are the best.
We were stopping through on our way to the Great Smoky Mountains and had a lovely time here. It was exactly what we were looking for. The house has ample space and is nice and quiet. Make sure to do the Lexington Carriage Company historic tour, very informative!
