Our stay was an absolute dream, with breathtaking views of the countryside and hosts who made us feel right at home. This is the perfect getaway for anyone seeking stunning scenery and truly wonderful hospitality!We will be back!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully converted barn apartment. It was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly peaceful. Doris and Dennis were warm, welcoming, and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend this unique and charming spot!
Picturesque stay on a working horse farm. Stunning views. Comfortable, well-appointed apartment. Would absolutely stay again and have already recommended to friends.
Such a tremendous stay -- the hosts are wonderful and the space is exceptional. You'll not find a better location and more peaceful respite in Lexington!
We were visiting the area for a horse show at the Virginia Horse Center. This was the perfect retreat after a busy show day. Beautifully furnished, comfortable, great views, and terrific hosts. We would love to stay again the next time we are in the area!
We loved our stay at this beautiful property with sweeping views of the Rockbridge hills and Blue Ridge mountains. Doris and Dennis are such generous hosts, and we had so much fun meeting the horses and Jake! The apartment is so cozy and had everything we needed. We only wish we could have spent more time there, and we can’t wait to return for another stay.

The owners were nice. The setting spectacular. It was such a memorable weekend away. We loved walking around the property.
Tremendous location and atmosphere. Hosts were friendly and gracious, and truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The property is amazing and the views are stunning. Probably our favorite location in Lexington!!
My husband and I were in the area for a horse show.
The barn apartment at Persimmon Ridge is a true "find." It is pristine with every imaginable amenity. The views are stunning! We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you, Doris and Dennis

This place is a gem. The apartment is has everything you would need. It's very comfortably decorated and the host has furnished it very nicely. The surrounding area is beautiful. Horse, cats and dog you can pet if you like. Just an overall great location and experience. So glad we stayed here.
This loft apartment above the lovely horse stables is off the charts! Owners are so welcoming and have gone out of their way to provide an unforgettable stay in the Shenandoah Valley. Our only regret was not staying a week!
Doris and Dennis are amazing people - they have built a beautiful apartment. It’s a magical place with amazing views. The accommodations are clean, comfortable and elegantly decorated even with a lovely bouquet of flowers from their gardens. We had a wonderful time grooming the horses and playing with Jake their pup.
We had the most amazing time at the cottage. Pictures do not do the property justice. It exceeded expectations. Doris and Dennis were amazing hosts who treated our children so well. Doris had breakfast stocked and the fridge had the essentials. The bed was comfy! Thank you Doris and Dennis!
This is a wonderful mountain getaway on a working horse farm minutes from downtown Lexington. From the moment we booked, almost a month in advance, we received great communication from our Host Doris. Our accommodations were well-appointed and comfortable. Doris provided fresh eggs and milk and all of the drawers were well stocked with spices and cookware. Both Doris and Dennis made time for us to chat when we saw them during our stay. We appreciated their hospitality and their charming getaway. We definitely would stay again!
One of the best experiences we've had with vrbo! Dennis and Doris were lovely couple, very kind and accommodating. The loft apt was just right and the view of the mountains incredible. Our son loved walking out in the morning to feed the horses. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Very convenient to Lexington. We had a wonderful time.
My husband, adult daughter and I spent a weekend at this beautifully appointed barn apartment. We were the owners' first guests, and they anticipated every need. The space is open and bright; bed and sleep sofa comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen are well appointed. We have already booked a return visit!
My son is considering VMI and was on post for a prospective student visit. Lovely stay with my wife while he was on post overnight. Well appointed apartment style accommodations with gorgeous views and easy access to Lexington and VMI or Washington & Lee.
