Farm days
This is the 5th year I’ve met my son and his family at Doug and Erin’s little bit of heaven on earth. We started with two little boys and there are now 4 who have come to absolutely love “Nannie’s” farm- LOL. There’s so much to keep all the boys busy( ages 10 - 3) . The house is perfect- everything you could need is there. Erin is so helpful. I 100% encourage making this your destination.!

Amazing Cabin!!
This was such a beautiful property. Me and my friends were in town for a wedding and we rented this listing for a weekend. It was about 15 min from downtown Lexington which was great. My friends would sit outside in the morning to look out at the view with their coffees plus the fire pit was a lot of fun. There were chickens, donkeys, and cows we looked at and there was a note inside that if we wanted to get up close with the chickens to let them know. Wish we had done that. 10/10 though!

Great stay
This place was clean, confortable and perfect for our group, and the owners were incredibly helpful and kind to us - they were even better than the place. Two very minor downsides - it's a bit of a drive into Lexington (about 6 miles, and a slow drive on country roads) where our activities were, and the high windows let in light earlier in the morning than we wanted to wake. But those were minor to us. We'd stay here again, without question.

Best hosts
Erin and Doug were the best VBRO hosts I have ever had the pleasure renting from. They were fantastic communicators and very helpful with area information. We were celebrating our son’s graduation this week . The house was the perfect, picturesque, location for a fun small party bbq. The kitchen had everything we needed and the home was beautiful and spacious. Some basketball, tether-ball, pickleball playing and ending the evening by the fire pit made for happy memories. A few guests even went to visits the cute donkeys. I would highly recommend visiting this VRBO location and enjoys the beautiful location.

Amazing views!
We loved the great mountain view! The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfy. The kitchen was well stocked. The host was quick to respond and very helpful. We enjoyed playing pickle ball and exploring the property. It was close to Lexington, but felt very far from everywhere! Calm and relaxing visit!

Best rental ever!
My friends and I were in town for a wedding. The house far exceeded our expectations. The property was BEAUTIFUL and peaceful. There was a lot of privacy in addition to a lot of amenities. The cottage has everything we needed and more. The hosts were wonderful and accommodating. There was soft music and the lights were on when we arrived. They also had farm fresh eggs in the fridge and offered to save us a trip to the store. They let us check out two hours late because there was no one else checking in. The beds were comfortable and the view was gorgeous. They have put so much thought into every aspect of the cottage. The pictures do not do it justice! Will definitely be back if we are in the area again!

Wonderful spot; gracious hosts; a Hit!
We had a too short delightful time in Lexington. The property was on a hill over looking the Shenandoah Valley; every effort was made to welcome us; there’s a small enclave of chickens, turkeys, miniature donkeys, and other creatures the children loved; the surrounding Maurrey River valley was fun to explore and enjoy-we loved it!

Little Details Make A Big Difference
Little details like relaxing music playing when the family arrived and the invitation to take anything from the beautiful garden made all of us feel so welcomed and comfortable. There were fun activities for all ages and gorgeous views. Highly recommend for families looking to get away from the business of life and enjoy spending time relaxing and playing together.

Graduation weekend
Amazing mountain views from a well equipped farmhouse. We were not on-site much but enjoyed the full kitchen and enjoyed the deck overlooking the beautiful property. Beds are only doubles so be prepared if you are used to larger bed sizes. Farm fresh eggs were awesome!

I wanted a place where we could all be together for my daughters college graduation What a wonderful find! This is the best place we have stayed at. The cottage is large and family friendly. The grandkids enjoyed playing outside on the rope swing and seeing the farm animals. We cant wait to come back again!

The VRBO gem of Lexington
We ABSOLUTELY loved every second of our stay. It could not have been any more perfect! The property sits high on top of the hill with stunning views. The house offers everything for little and big kids alike! Between times spent wetting lines in the pond, relaxing swinging on the rope swing or ripping down the zip line, or sharing stories around the fire pit, there was an abundance of activities to keep everyone well entertained. The house is spacious and comfortably slept our large party. We had quick and easy access to VMI. We would give our stay 10 stars if we could and will definitely return!

God’s Country
The view from this property is breathtaking! We were able to pet and feed the farm animals. We sat by the pond and fed the ducks. We hiked along numerous trails on the property. There was something for everyone to do. The owners were respectful of our privacy, but were so friendly and accommodating when we bombarded them with questions about the animals and farm life. We highly recommend this property and we’ll definitely be back!
