    Our group of 4 adults throughly enjoyed our stay at Carol's Cottage. It is a well maintained, clean, historically decorated cottage that exudes warmth and coziness. The quiet setting is spectacular, and chats on the porch with the birds singing, blooming hydrangeas, and glorious surroundings were our favorite. We highly recommend this property.

    We had a lovely stay during my W&L 10-year reunion weekend! The view from the porch was stunning and the entire house was comfortable and spacious for 3 adults and 2 children.

    This house is super cute, clean and comfy! Everything we needed for the weekend! Nice beds, showers and washer and dryer too! Loved the front porch and the peacefulness of the neighborhood. We were here for a horse center event but also managed to hike on the Chessie Nature Trail which was beautiful and also went to Heliotrope Brewing in Lexington. Great beer and food! We will definitely stay here again!

    Pros: convenient to Virginia Horse Park right around the corner. Outside property beautiful. Wash machine & DryerCons: There were bugs and ants everywhere upstairs and down in the house from the first day until the last. The bottom floor bedroom is tiny. Upstairs TV would not connect to internet, wasnt a big deal we were never there.

    This rental is a cute little farmhouse filled with antiques. Very clean and tidy with a beautiful, huge yard and beautiful landscaping. The owners were very easy to communicate with we were in town for our sons Washington and Lee law school graduation and this location was perfect.

    Our group of 5 old friends enjoyed a wonderful, two-night visit to Carol’s Cottage during a period of frigid weather. Carol and Bernie had the charming house warmed up and ready for arrival, and had cleared snow and ice from the driveway and walk. On our first evening, we made good use of the well-appointed kitchen for a home-cooked meal; on the second evening we made the very short drive into Historic Lexington for a nice dinner at Taps. We also enjoyed exploring the downtown shops and indulging in huge burgers for lunch at the Sweet Treat Bakery. Our hosts responded immediately and cheerfully to all messages. The cottage was immaculate. Many thanks.

    A great cottage in a quiet setting, but near town as well. The front porch is a great setting to relax and watch nature. This a great place for a quiet get away.

    We visited for my mother’s 80th birthday and had a wonderful time at the cottage! The home has beautiful views and the front porch was our favorite place to relax and enjoy watching the birds visit and the squirrels play! The kitchen was well equipped, the bed linens were crisp natural cotton, the internet was strong and the layout offered both privacy and space to gather. Thank you for sharing your home!

    What a wonderful time we had at Carol's Cottage while our daughter competed locally at the Shenandoah Classic Horse Show (at the Virginia Horse Center). The house was well-appointed and beautiful grounds ensured serene mornings out on the porch. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely cottage!

    My dad wanted to drive on the blue ridge parkway in Virginia, and also visit Lexington. Went online to find a property to stay at since we were going to be there for several days. While researching came across “Carol’s Cottage”. It was perfect for us. It was very close to downtown Lexington but was on a road that was very quiet and felt like you were in the “country”. The front porch has a Mountain View but unfortunately the weather was too cold to sit out there for us “Florida folks” We stayed busy during our visit. Bernie and Carol are gracious hosts, who were available to us if needed. Everything was perfect at this property and the town of Lexington
