About this property
Peaceful Escape Near VMI, WLU & VA Horse Center
Escape to the serene beauty of Virginia`s countryside at Apiary Cottage, a charming 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat nestled on over 5 private acres of rolling landscape.
Perfectly positioned in Rockbridge County, just 15 minutes from the renowned Virginia Horse Center and a scenic 20-minute drive from historic downtown Lexington, VMI, and Washington and Lee University, this secluded haven offers the ideal blend of convenience and tranquility.
Whether you`re planning a family trip, a friends` getaway, or seeking a peaceful retreat, Apiary Cottage accommodates your needs with thoughtfully designed spaces that blend rural charm with modern comfort. The expansive circle driveway welcomes guests with ease - including those arriving with horse trailers for equestrian events at the nearby Virginia Horse Center.
We recommend bringing your own vehicle for getting around the larger area, as Lexington does not currently have an active taxi or cab service.
