About this property
Peaceful Escape Near VMI, WLU & VA Horse Center
Escape to the serene beauty of Virginia`s countryside at Apiary Cottage, a charming 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat nestled on over 5 private acres of rolling landscape.
Perfectly positioned in Rockbridge County, just 15 minutes from the renowned Virginia Horse Center and a scenic 20-minute drive from historic downtown Lexington, VMI, and Washington and Lee University, this secluded haven offers the ideal blend of convenience and tranquility.
Whether you`re planning a family trip, a friends` getaway, or seeking a peaceful retreat, Apiary Cottage accommodates your needs with thoughtfully designed spaces that blend rural charm with modern comfort. The expansive circle driveway welcomes guests with ease - including those arriving with horse trailers for equestrian events at the nearby Virginia Horse Center.
