Relax, Work, Wedding & Play

We did all of the above! The property allowed privacy with quiet mornings and beautiful views. We cooked and everything we needed was in the kitchen. We worked and the WiFi was plenty enough for five adults. The home was just 25 minutes from our daughter’s wedding venue in Middleburg. Vicki left for us 8 vouchers at the winery, and though we didn’t have time to use them, we wanted to! There were plenty of towels, linens and places to gather for games. The yard was beautiful and we left two ferns on the front steps as a thank you. :) 10/10

Family Thanksgiving

The home was spectacular. We had everything we needed for a memorable Thanksgiving. The kitchen was perfect and provided more than enough space for everyone to gather and cook. The kids (1, 3, 3, and 6) spent all their time running around the yard, playing in the basement, or watching Christmas movies in the sun room. The adults really enjoyed spending their evenings in the living room, drinking wine and playing board games in front of the fire. The back deck provided amazing mountain views and was the perfect place for stargazing (we brought our telescope from home, the kids loved it). Truly a magical place.

Fantastic place

The home is welcoming and clean. The views and gardens are stunning. We grilled on the deck with the family and the kitchen and dining areas were more than enough space to enjoy the meal. Highly recommend the deck; lots of seating to enjoy the mountain views and gardens. We had one rainy day but the sunroom had tons of seating, windows and games so it worked perfectly!

Vicki’s property was beautiful and just what we needed for our daughter’s baptism. The power was out (due to a storm) when we arrived and Vicki was very proactive in submitting an outage report and kept us well informed of any updates.

Simply the best!

We came to the Virginia/DC area to participate in a large family reunion. We chose this property for six adults and one child, hoping to have plenty of room for all of us and some needed quiet, rest time after seeing the larger family. The property was perfect! Very comfortable, every amenity you would need, and a ton of extras! We’ve stayed a lot of places, never have we had one where so many extras were provided. The owner sent us some suggested places to eat nearby, we tried three and were not disappointed. Fabulous home!

Fabulous for a weekend winery getaway

This house was the perfect retreat for a girl's winery getaway. Super easy to get to from DC and well situated near a bunch of great wineries. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen - with all the essentials - as well as a fully prepped fireplace that made it easy for us to just light and enjoy! There were a few stink bugs hanging in the house. Didn't personally bother me, but others might want to know in advance. Thanks again, would definitely recommend.

You'll absolutely love this house in Virginia Wine Country!!!

My husband and I decided to take a 5-day vacation in Virginia Wine Country, and we chose Vicki’s house in Markham, VA. It certainly met our expectations and far more. We adored this home instantly, with its lovely décor, mountain views, and agreeable privacy. So charming! Everything was spotless, which surely added to our comfort. We went to one or two wineries a day, drove Skyline Drive, enjoying its magnificent views, and even took the 45-minute trip to Luray Caverns. When not out and about, we cozied up and stayed home playing pool or having fun with some of the ample supply of board games by the fire place. We also relaxed catching up on a TV series that we never seem to have the time to watch. Our host, Vicki, was a pleasure to interact with. She was immediately responsive to all our questions right from the beginning. Vicki deserves a lot of credit for the keeping her house and grounds in such pristine condition and for running her business with such amiable professionalism. My husband and I hope to go back someday and couldn’t recommend this delightful house more highly. With Sincerity, Mary

We all want to return

This was a very short stay for a family gathering of 9 adults and one toddler, but we all agreed it is worth a return stay when we have more time. We've stayed in many homes together in the past 6 years and this is the first time there was a unanimous agreement that we should return to a particular home. That speaks volumes. We were fortunate enough to meet one of the owners coming and going and it was such a pleasure!

Perfect quiet retreat

The location was perfect for us as we were looking for a quiet location away from the city streets and city lights. The deck and living room provided wonderful views of the surrounding tree covered hills and beautiful sunrises. The owner provided information about the surrounding area in advance, which was wonderfully helpful, and we took a few road trips to the nearby wineries and towns. We also did our fair share of hiking at Sky Meadows State Park (which is also an International Dark Sky Park!).

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Lindsay 571-215-0330

We cherish the natural beauty and relaxation it provides, and want to share this special place with others. We are experienced hosts, avid travelers, and frequent Airbnb guests ourselves.

What makes this property unique

Easily unload your luggage into the large, bright foyer. A ground floor bedroom with en suite bath is to your right, for those who prefer fewer stairs, while the parlor and living room, furnished with antiques and comfortable modern furniture, are to your left.
