There's a lot to love about this casually elegant home. Biking, kayaking, fishing, hiking, lakeside cocktails, chillin at the pool, ping pong in the playroom or simply listening to vinyl on the vintage turntable are just a few of the activities to be enjoyed onsite. Explore vineyards, restaurants, shopping and the famous caverns and Shenandoah National Park nearby.
The house itself is fully equipped, exceptionally clean and well maintained. Large rooms throughout feature hardwood floors polished to a shine. Beautiful windows in every room invite you to explore the view. This home is tastefully decorated with a mix of antique and modern furnishings as well as oriental rugs and original artwork. Situated at the heart of a large family farm, the property is conveniently located minutes from the interstate and from downtown Staunton. Yet, it feels like it's worlds away.

The entrance of the property passes through a manicured wooded drive. Upon arriving, you'll park in a circular driveway. Walking through boxwood gardens and a slate patio, you'll enter the back door into the kitchen. You'll love having your morning coffee on that patio and your family will enjoy their breakfast at the large kitchen table.

The first floor offers a master bedroom with a king bed, a fireplace, a seating area and a full bath. The suite is down the hall from a cozy den/study. The walls in the den are covered with custom walnut bookcases milled on the property, and filled with good books and a small T.V.

Off the kitchen is a playroom with lots of fun stuff including a comfortable seating area, ping pong table, large screen T.V., and a vintage turntable with a wonderful collection of vinyl. Also off from the kitchen is a formal, whimsical dinning room with seating for 12.

A flagstone hall will take you into the sunny living room with it's large, central fireplace and built in bookcases. The modern furnishings tastefully combine with the antiques and an oriental rug.
The ornate wrought iron staircase leads to five more bedrooms on the second floor, with seating areas, more built in bookcases, cedar closets, and even a secret staircase. You and your guests will have plenty of room to spread out.

While the house is grand, the views are breathtaking. The large front yard showcases the panoramic view of rolling hills, meadows, and mountains. A poolside gazebo offers another fabulous view, as does the tennis court. A walk down the hill will bring you to a lakeside view. We provide bikes to get you there and kayaks, (with life jackets) and fishing poles to enjoy once you arrive. The sunsets over the lake are the best, so we recommend cocktail hour lakeside with a fire in the firepit to finish off a perfect day.

Well designed and carefully planned, the comfortable elegance of this property is waiting to embrace and impress your family and friends.

This home is a destination itself. But, if you can tear yourself away and if you're into sight seeing, local attractions include Shakespeare's Blackfriars Playhouse, PLENTY of vineyards, Woodrow Wilson's Birthplace, the American Frontier Culture Museum—and that's just within a ten minute drive. Or, head to the mountains for a really good hike. After dark, visit any number of restaurants and bars in downtown Staunton or just crank the volume on our turntable, and dance to Motown until the sun comes up.
Be sure to check the bustling cities of Harrisonburg (I-81N, 20min) and Charlottesville (I-64E, 40min).

    This is a perfect place for a getaway weekend. This was our second time staying at this house! Between the tennis court and the pool, there are plenty of outdoor activities to do. The house is also large enough to host a large group of friends.

    I was looking for a secluded house that had a pool to celebrate my bachelorette weekend with my friends and this house was perfect. One of my friends staying is a full time wheelchair user and Liz was super accommodating and allowed us to view the property to make sure everything would work for her. The house was clean and exactly like the listing. The view from the pool is amazing. Everyone had a great time. Would highly recommend for a relaxing get away weekend with friends.

    We throughly enjoyed our stay at Gaie Lea. We hosted a family reunion and especially enjoyed the pool and lake. Our kids (14 adult cousins and spouses/partners) actually stayed in the home and enjoyed having the opportunity to spend time together since they live in different parts of the country. The parents and grandparents stayed in their local homes but spent much of the time on site partaking in the activities. Some had never fished before and were thrilled to catch fish. It was a fabulous time had by all. Thank you for allowing us this opportunity to reconnect as a family.

    Setting was breathtaking. Large house with plenty of room for family including six grandchildren. House provided plenty of room to get everyone together as well as privacy for all. Always something to do which included the pool, tennis court, the pond for kyacking and fishing, hiking, the family room and dining room for eating and games. Downtown Staunton just a couple of miles away with great restaurants. Great vacation spot.

    Our weekend at Gaie Lea was truly a magical one. I live in Staunton so was able to tour the house and property before renting. It was beautiful seeing it on the tour, but the house really lights up when you're there with family. It is a cozy and comforting house with a perfect yard for playing games, an amazing pool, hidden sweet tennis court, and stunning old oak trees throughout the property. Our celebration of my partner and I getting married couldn't have been in a more special place or with more perfect weather. All in the family who stayed there felt the same way. I'll always be grateful and hold dear the magical memories created at Gaie Lea.
