Our home is close to Washington & Lee University and VMI in Lexington VA. On the edge of downtown, it's a short walk to the University, restaurants, and historic attractions. Southern Virginia University is just 8-10 minutes away. Our entire home is yours to enjoy, and is less expensive than 2 hotel rooms while providing the true personalized Lexington experience in a private home! Our little home is filled with art and memories. Many of the art pieces are by friends and family members! We'll leave freshly roasted local coffee and breakfast fixings like fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt, granola, and half & half in the fridge for you. Rest easy on the large pillow-top mattresses with organic cotton sheets. Each bedroom has a flat screen TV with Roku for streaming Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon. High speed Wi-Fi is provided for Internet access. We think you'll find our cottage home warm and inviting, with easy access to downtown Lexington, Washington & Lee University (W&L), and Virginia Military Institute (VMI) by car or an easy 10 minute walk along city sidewalks all the way down Main St. Our home is available for W&L Parent's Weekend, graduation, and many of the other special events at Washington & Lee University and VMI. We are also a short 10 minute ride from Southern Virginia University, in Buena Vista. When the weather's nice the outdoor patio furniture makes a wonderful place to have a quiet evening meal and listen to the songbirds. You may even see a deer in the backyard one morning! Just a few blocks from the historic Stonewall Jackson House, there's plenty of history right around the corner. The George C. Marshall Museum is on the VMI campus, and the horse-drawn carriage rides are a wonderful way to get to know more about Lexington. Whether you like hiking on the Appalachian Trail, paddling on the Maury River, or mountain biking at Douthat State Park, there are lots of outdoor adventures right nearby. The Virginia Horse Center is an internationally acclaimed equestrian facility with many events throughout the year, and is only a few minutes by car. There's plenty of dining in Lexington, with everything from award winning local New-American cuisine at the Red Hen, to authentic flavors of Matsumoto Sushi or Napa Thai, and many of the restaurants like Southern Inn offering locally sourced food! We even have a Michelin starred Chef at The Georges! Our home is all yours to enjoy during your stay! You'll have full use of the main floor of the house, both bedrooms, living room, dining room, and kitchen, and the outdoor areas. We won't be on premises during your stay, but will be nearby if you need anything. The upstairs/attic room is reserved for storing our items when having guests, please stay to the main floor :) I'm available if you need me, but will stay out of your way otherwise! Generally I will greet guests and give them a key and a quick walk-through, but can arrange to leave a key if necessary. We're on a quiet family street, just a few blocks away from downtown, W&L and VMI. It's an easy stroll to the shops and restaurants. Free parking is available in front of the house, space for 3 cars. We want you to enjoy your stay, but our home is in a quiet family neighborhood, and is not the place for parties or loud socializing. Please be respectful of our neighbors, they have our number on speed dial, and aren't afraid to use it! ** No events or parties are permitted. Quiet hours are after 10 pm. **
