About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beekeeper's House

Two story brick colonial. Five bedrooms, 3 full baths, large formal living room, dining room, den, and Florida room. The master bedroom accesses a second story balcony. On the ground floor - there is a queen bed and a full bath with a walk-in shower. The home's builder had two hobbies - Beekeeping and construction. Over the course of his career he built 13 of the homes on Enderly Heights.

Always a dog family we welcome your pets as you visit the colleges, breweries, wineries and the many natural wonders of the greater Buena Vista, Lexington and Rockbridge County area that include Natural Bridge and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The house includes use of the two-car garage and a garage door opener. There are two “smart” TVs, the one in the den is 55” with a subscription to Sling TV, an Apple TV subscription and Disney+. The second TV is in the master bedroom.

In 2024 I replaced most of the windows with Pella casement windows and I plan to add security cameras in three areas to the exterior of the house - doorbell cameras on both doors and in the garage. There are no cameras inside the house.

Wonderful hosts!

We came to the area with seven family members to attend graduation at Washington and Lee. The house is just as described, with all the amenities we needed and more. It’s in a nice, quiet neighborhood, with shopping nearby. It has lots of sitting areas for socializing, and the bedrooms are spacious, with comfy beds. We would definitely suggest this place, and would stay again!

Wonderful stay

This property was beautiful. It felt like home. From the Christmas trees the owner took the time to decorate to the brand new refrigerator and dish washer, this host really took the time and spent the money to make this custom built home a wonderful vacay house. Communication was great and prompt. We felt like we were in our own extended home. Would stay here again. Until next time!

This is the second time we have stayed here visiting family. Karen, the host, is amazing. This house feels like home. It is extremely pet friendly, and we enjoy having a place all our family can come together eat, enjoy conversation, and watch the game. Go Dawgs! We plan to stay here every time we visit Lexington. Highly recommend! It is perfect for entertaining and cooking meals. Until next time!

VMI 2024 Graduation

We gathered as a family to celebrate my nephews graduation from VMI. The location was easy to get into Lexington for all the Graduation events. We had 9 Adults staying at the home. We were able to celebrate our cadet and his friends and their families. Karen was every easy to work with and very responsive to all my questions. If you are looking for a place for the 2025 graduation season I would highly recommend this location!

Nicest Home in the Area

We enjoyed our stay at the Beekeeper's House. We were in town for VMI graduation, and the house worked out perfectly for our extended family. The hosts were very flexible with us and that removed a lot of stress. We would definitely recommend this home for a short or long stay in the area.

Perfect for a 5 day stay

House is clean and has all the amemties we were looking for. The host's attention to detail was very evident as everything on our arrival was perfectly laid out. Beds were very comfortable. Neighborhood is super quiet and lots of trees and birds. We enjoyed our walks in the neighborhood each morning. One thing to be aware of - wifi was superfast on one side of the house but its range was not great to cover the opposite side of the house. Not a big issue at all.

Home away from home

They just do not make homes like this anymore. Plenty of space, beautiful molding and built-ins, custom cabinets and a wonderful sunroom with a doggie nook. The first thing Sidney does when we get to this house is go straight to get little cubby. Karen is amazing and we feel like home when we are there. She even decorated the home for Christmas just for us. She continues to do upgrades every time we visit. Honestly, it makes visiting our Virginia family so much better. I recommend this home and host!

Great House

This is the best VRBO I have stayed in. Bedroom to bathroom ratio was perfect. Very clean property with nice personal touches. We had an event at the horse park, so it was about 15 minute drive -- I wish it was a little closer, but worth the drive to stay at a nice property.
