Lovely property! Very comfortable stay.

The location was convenient enough to get to all the fun tubing, brewery and hiking activities...yet it was so perfectly remote where you could really "get away". The hosts were so very gracious and welcoming, making sure that we had all our family needed for the stay.

VMI Reunion Getaway

Beautiful place and perfect for our VMI reunion with some old friends. We also thoroughly enjoyed the "neighbors"--a mama bear and her 3 cubs. Definitely on our list for a place to return....thank you so much!

Mountain Views and family farm fun

Wonderful quick getaway to be out of the city. Gorgeous Mountain Views and cute farm animals and activities for kids. Lots of nearby outdoor fun as well. Erin and Doug were friendly and attentive hosts. I would recommend staying here!

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!

The owners made us feel at home and very comfortable. It is very hard to travel with young ones, but they made it very easy to keep the kids entertained by providing ride on toys outside, a while toy room inside, and so much more. I would highly recommend for a family with kids, or even just a couples getaway!

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!

Incredible

The property was just what we needed and the view was incredible. When we got there, kids did not touch their electronic games and just enjoyed what they had at the farm They were outside constantly.

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.

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!

Incredible EVERYTHING!

I have traveled all over the world and have never experienced hospitality like this. The owners ensured we had everything we needed and went out of their way to make my kids feel special and make sure they had fun. The views are breathtaking and the photos don’t do it justice. It was truly the most gorgeous Mountain View I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t have been happier and I can’t wait to travel here Again and stay at this property.

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!

Great outdoor view and Charming Home

Turkey Hill has a spectacular view of the mountains! The backyard was perfect for the kids to run and play, grown-ups to chat, and memories to be made with s’mores around the fire pit. The house was equipped with toys, cookware, soaps, and all the little things you may have forgotten until you needed and then were relieved to see they had it there. You could tell Erin wanted us to be comfortable with what was available and she was super quick with answering questions. Thank you Erin for sharing your home with us! We have a lovely visit!

Cannot recommend this place enough!

We absolutely loved our stay here and cannot wait to go back! It is, by far, the most family friendly place we have stayed and we would highly recommend it. Erin and Doug are welcoming, friendly and so, so thoughtful! The house had everything you could need and even had great age appropriate toys available for our crew. There was so much to do on the farm (forts to play in, a trampoline, basketball, pickle ball and - of course - the animals!) and there is a ton to do nearby too. Erin gave us great recommendations for local spots. My favorite spot on the farm was watching the sunrise on the porch quietly taking in the beautiful views as the day began. If you’re looking for a wonderful, family-friendly location to spend your vacation - this is it!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

A must stay !

I don’t think there is enough space for my review! Erin and Doug went out of their way to make us feel welcome and made a few special accommodations for my dad who is going thru chemo. Their place is something special. It’s beautiful and the views are absolutely amazing! On top of that they left side walk caulk, water balloons and extra toys for the grandkids! OH and did I mention the play sets and the animals and the fresh eggs they left for us… I could go on and on about this place. Our mini vacation was for safari park zoo which was a short 25 minute ride and than we just wanted to stay here and enjoy the everything. If you need a get away this is your spot ! ♥️

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!

Beautiful Views, Well Equipped

Our family visited Lexington for our son’s commencement ceremony. The communication with the owners was efficient and clear - one year ahead of time. I appreciated their insight and information. The house is well equipped for a family stay, with plenty accoutrements for young children. There are games galore and beautiful surroundings. I am so appreciate of their effort and communication.

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!

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.
