About this property
Carol's Cottage. 1/2 mile from Virginia Horse Center. 2 miles to VMI, W&L, Lex!
Carol's Cottage, built in 1931, is the closest accommodation to the Virginia Horse Center as the Oak Hill cross country course is directly across the street and the main facility is 1/2 mile away. We are also conveniently located approximately 5-20 minutes from most of the wedding venues in the Lexington area.
The Cottage provides a quiet and peaceful locale with excellent internet for working from home or simply enjoying the area.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Bernie or Carol Shaw
Carol is originally from Charleston, West Virginia. She moved to Lexington and purchased the Cottage in 2011. She met the "boy next door", Bernie, who is from the Lake District of England. One thing led to another and the British guy and the American girl were married on June 1st, 2013 in the Gazebo in front of their lovely homes!
Why they chose this property
We both purchased our properties because we were drawn to the absolute beauty and peacefulness of the area and the wonderful people that live here.
What makes this property unique
The Cottage is the closest accomodation to the Virginia Horse Center. We are literally right across the street from the Oak Hill Cross Country course. We live on a quiet country lane with very little traffic, but Lexington, the interstate, Walmart, etc are only minutes away. We are the Owners and Managers of our property.
