Fun Farm Visit
Rebecca's property was so fun! She has horses on the property which we petted and fed carrots. The property was quiet, and so comfortable. It's a quick drive to VMI and downtown Lexington from the property. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Farmhouse on the Horse Farm
My family enjoyed staying at the Farmhouse on our weekend trip to VMI. Rebecca was a fantastic host, and the house was very charming and clean on her horse farm. There was lots of space for everyone to hang out and spend time together by the fireplace and cooking. It has plenty of room to sleep and many cooking essentials. We loved meeting her dogs and horses and especially loved feeding them carrots. We would book a stay here again on our next trip.

So beautiful and peaceful
Beautiful working horse farm and Rebecca is an exceptional host! Close to many great areas to hike, explore, horseback ride, visit caverns, train excursions, historic sights and towns, scenic drives and fun shopping. I could not have been happier. The house was perfect for our family gathering.

Fall Special
This was exactly what i needed to escape the anxiety of city life. This property was set in a beautiful location surrounded by the mountains and farmland. Horses welcomed me each morning as I settled on the porch with my first cup of coffee. Rebecca was a great hostess. Very friendly and helpful

Lovely property
So enjoyed the HUGE yard for our graduation diner. The host, Rebecca, is AWESOME. Quick to respond to questions and very flexible. We use VRBO a lot and she was by far, the best host we have ever had. My only regret is that we didn't find it during our son's 4 year stint at the local university.

Restful Sunny Brook
Sunny Brook Farm was the perfect base for our group of 5 friends to relax & get restful sleep for our stay. Quiet & beautiful views. Our main focus was the Rockbridge Mountain Music & Dance Festival at Glen Maury Park, Buena Vista - a 10 min drive We also enjoyed driving the scenic countryside including a visit to Wade’s Mill and Tantivy Farm for the lavender fields The house is old with all the quirky charms of an old farmhouse. The kitchen is new & well equipped which made fixing breakfasts & suppers easy A new lovely bathroom on the 1st floor this year. The 1st floor bedroom has seating as well as a comfortable bed Each of the upstairs bedrooms has its own personality with a comfortable bed. The 5th bedroom doubles as tv & sitting room with fold out futon. We had no need for tv- too much to see in the area The 2nd bathroom is upstairs. Dining room & living room downstairs are great gathering spaces. Plenty of interesting books to explore for quiet times or rainy times The deck out back has a grill & chairs to enjoy views & watch the horses. Buddy, the dog, greets you & then leaves you This is our 3rd stay at Sunny Brook & we hope all works together for another return visit next year. Communicating with Rebecca is easy, she responds quickly & is very helpful. I recommend Sunny Brook Farm for quiet, comfortable respite while enjoying Lexington, Buena Vista and surrounding area

Wonderful experience!
Centrally located to all the places we needed to be. Quiet, clean, and room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. We had a plumbing issue on our first day, but the host responded quickly and it was resolved within a couple of hours. I enjoyed watching the horses frisk about in the pasture while I crafted at the dining room table. Truly a memorable experience. Many thanks for sharing your home. Lots of character in these old farm houses!

Perfect time away with the family
Rebecca met us persoally and let us on the 150 year old farmhouse. It was updated but still had the traditional charm with crown molding, antiques and creeky floors.plenty of room , easy access, beautiful sunsets, and abity yo pet the horses and play with Gracie and Buddy ( her friendly pups . My girls stretched hammocks out under the 100 year d maples and wife spent most of her time in the orchard swing watching them. Just 2 miles off I 81 and 3 miles fromexington, easy access to all we needed but with the solitude we craved. Every evening we ate supper in the back porch and watched the sun set over the pasture. While we were there a plumbing issue came up and Rebecca immediately made the call and after we got back from a hike off the parkway it was fixed. Great response. Greatly appreciated the time to spend time together at Rebecca's Sunnybrook Farm.

Great spot for getting everyone together
The Farmhouse is a quaintly decorated 1800's home and was a great home base (4 days) for our son's wedding. We had family coming and going and it was especially nice to be able to have breakfast without the logistics of getting everyone together a at restaurant. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Just be aware that some of the rooms have double beds and one of the 5 bedrooms is more of a sitting room with a futon and the door separating the room from the adjoining bedroom is only a half door. We managed just fine. The Farmhouse is close enough to town, shopping and attractions and away from town enough to be out in the country with horses just outside your window. We enjoyed the outdoor porches, decks, horses, falling leaves and rolling hills. The homeowner was accommodating and very attentive to wanting everything to be perfect. She was a pleasure to work with. Overall, a great stay! .

Sunnybrook Farm in Lexington
Excellent place for a family to stay while visiting VMI. Farmhouse with 5 bedrooms so plenty of room for a large family. Horses and dogs that the children loved petting made the stay memorable. Rebecca , yes that is her name, manages her Sunnybrook Farm very nicely and might I add she had baked a loaf of cranberry bread for our arrival.

Couldn't have planned a better mini-vacation
Our entire family really enjoyed staying at Rebecca's house. My daughters raced around the yard playing with her dogs or feeding the horses. My husband, mother-in-law, and I relaxed on the deck reading and enjoying a glass of wine. The freshly baked banana bread was a enjoyed by all of us. The house was clean and nicely decorated. Town was only minutes away. I would recommend staying here to anyone!
