Slice of Heaven
The views are absolutely breathtaking. The home is cozy and has a fabulous kitchen. The only complaint is the mattress. It was a bit hard for me but that is a personal preference and by no means a reflection on the hostess. She is a doll and quickly answers all questions. She even brought us a dvd player to use. I highly recommend this property.

Lovely home and absolutely gorgeous property!
The photos barely do the property justice, it was even more beautiful in person. Sunrise and sunsets are a must-see. We stayed here over the New Year’s holiday and really enjoyed being able to walk around the farm and see the animals and property. The living spaces were comfortably large enough to accommodate our group of 10. Location is very convenient to Lexington, but we preferred more to stay in and enjoy the space! Thank you Amanda for a wonderful stay!

VMI Family weekend
The house and property is a great space for a large group. We could spread out and could enjoy a variety of activities on the property. Exploring the grounds and pasture allowed us to stretch our legs. Seeing the cows live a good life was refreshing. The views are spectacular! After a long day of Family Weekend at VMI the back porch and hammock were super relaxing! Would definitely recommend this property for anything VMI related.

Lazy Acres--VMI Parents Weekend 2015
From arrival to departure, everything was in perfect order! Starting with the most beautiful panoramic views of the Blue Ridge mountains…to our most generous host (Amanda), four very diverse families merged and enjoyed all of the amenities and accommodations. The spaciousness allowed each guest to enjoy and share their space with others. We had all we needed in each room, cupboards and cabinets were well-stocked, the hot tub was hot, beds were comfortable and every reasonable expectation was met and exceeded. Lazy Acres provided one of the best mini-vacation experiences ever, and we are already planning to return in the future.

Rustic lodge nestled among rolling mountains
We met some extended family for a delayed Christmas celebration...adults and children alike loved the property. The lodge is roomy but has a cozy feel. You cannot ask for better views of surrounding farm land and rolling mountains and hills. This part of Virginia is gorgeous, and you feel part of the landscape at this house. The kids loved walking around the farm, seeing the horses, cows and other animals. Sitting in the hot tub under the stars on a cold night will be a memorable experience. Amanda, the owner, was always available and helpful if anything was needed. A great VRBO experience, we would definitely recommend this house and hope to stay there again in the future!

A fabulous countryside retreat
I simply can't express how fabulous this property is. Stunning panoramic views of the Blue Ridge mountains and countryside around Lexington provided a serene backdrop that set the stage for a wonderful visit to Lexington VA. The well-appointed house provides a warm and. cozy atmosphere that easily accommodated our group of six and our desire to spend a lot of quality time together. Yet there is ample space and furnishings in and outside to allow one to find a spot to curl up with a good book or just the quiet sounds of nature if one desires. Super clean, and well appointed with comfortable furniture, everything needed to enjoy your stay is provided. Our group was in Lexington for our college reunion, and we all agreed that this should become our go-to property for when we get together (normally once or twice a year). So if you a looking for a place to stay when visiting Lexington (or a central spot from which to explore the Shenandoah Valley) I would suggest you look no further. The location is extremely convenient to Lexington and all of the main highways (RT 11, I-81, I_64) that are your gateways to the Shenandoah Valley.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Baxter

Host profile image
We came from the UK in 1984 and lived in FL for some years. We found Lexington when on vacation here and bought the farm in 1993. Lexington is a beautiful small town to raise children in a peaceful environment. There is a good music scene, beautiful scenic hikes and riding trails. Golf and fishing. We are just five miles from downtown Lexington yet out in the countryside surrounded by farmland. It's bliss.

Why they chose this property

The amazing thing about this property is from it's location and views you would think you were miles away from anything and yet you are only 5 miles from downtown and 3 miles to the I81 and I64. Location, Location, Location and this is it. Perfect for reunions, college parents weekends and graduation gatherings. There are also two log cabins on the farm. Rent everything and have a great gathering at Lazy Acres Farm.

What makes this property unique

It's rare to find a property where so many can stay. In addition to the lodge there are two logs cabins sleeping up to six people each. Perfect for family reunions, graduations and weddings. Plenty of rolling acres to hike around and just get away from the town and enjoy nature on your doorstep.
