About this space
Within walking distance to Southern Virginia University (.6 miles) and downtown , and a short drive to Virginia Military Institute (7.7 miles), Washington & Lee University (7 miles), and Virginia Horse Center (9.8 miles). This recently updated, Victorian Style, century old home is at the center of many great educational, historical, and outdoor attractions.
This 4 bed 1.5 bath home sits at the base of the Blue Ridge Pkwy and within driving distance of the Appalachian Trail and Natural Bridge
The space
Sitting on two lots this historic home has plenty of room for your group to gather. The property includes the corner lot next to the house that could be used for picnics or outdoor games and bbq's.
Each of the 4 bedrooms include a queen bed.
The cozy living room is furnished with a couch, loveseat, and armchair and is a great place to just relax.
Guest access
Most cars in the neighborhood park right on the street, so parking on the street directly in front of the house is fine. There is also an alleyway behind the house where cars can pull in next to the small shed for parking.
Getting around town is very easy whether you decide to drive or walk. Downtown, shopping, and some restaurants are within a short distance if you prefer to walk.

Place was great for W&L parents weekend. Only short 15 min drive to Lexington. We only slept there at night but the place was well stocked with laundry detergent, trash bags, toilet paper, and even soap and shampoo. The one shower is a bit low so my 6 foot husband barely fit but we made it work. All and all, a nice place and would stay again!

Great For What’s Available

Way cute as far as time period. Very safe neighborhood. Nice Main Street, close to SVU, hiking opportunities, and some sightseeing. As far as cleanliness, Quick Look it’s very clean, spending time in here you begin to notice the dirty/dusty curtains and light fixtures, but clean enough to keep the bugs at bay with all the cracks in the flooring and window/door seals for the week no problem, and plenty of clean linens. I did feel as though there was an obvious pet smell in the living room, and quite a few stains on the couches. Didn’t love the loud fan in the main floor bathroom, or the fact that AC is only upstairs as we were there on a very hot week and it took a long time to cool down the 2nd floor for comfortable sleeping at night. I also didn’t love the tub/shower, it fits the age and style of the home, however the cast is cracking and the curtain made me feel claustrophobic, but his property manager said that bathroom is the next project for updating. But, looking around the town, it’s a great place compared to everything else and I would have no problem staying here again. The owner and management were very quick to respond and offered easy check in and provide much to make the stay feel like home. (Oh, I would recommend a few more spoons for eating, I think there were only 4 or 5 ;)

We loved the character and charm of this old home. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was completely updated. We loved the church bells and train too. Lots of character in Buena Vista! The bathtub/shower situation was the only negative and for anyone over 5'5'' and 110 lbs will find it almost impossible.

Classic Vintage Home

This is a classic vintage home in a quiet neighborhood. It has plenty of space to accommodate our group of seven adults. As pictures show, the woodwork is beautiful. I would love to have seen it in it’s prime filled with antiques and the large family it was probably built for. Our group was attending the Buena Vista Fiddlers Convention and it was just what we needed; a place to get away, rest comfortably, share meals and make memories.

Wedding weekend

We were in Lexington for a wedding. The house was perfectly located for both the downtown dinner rehearsal and the farm wedding venue. The house was easily accessible from roadside parking. The house was lovely but a bit creaky... no sneaking around in this house! The one bathroom/shower was a bit challenging but fine for 6-8 adults with some shower planning for two nights. Took a long time to get the access code to the house which made coordinating with all out of town family difficult.

Charming home in a lovely, walkable neighborhood

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, special home. It is very comfortable from the furniture and beds to the high ceilings and plenty of room to spread out. The bathrooms are a challenge especially since we had aged parents with us and the only shower was a very tall, claw-foot tub. Charming, but not practical for people with mobility challenges. The house is set on a huge lot, with a beautiful porch we enjoyed sitting on. We loved the neighborhood in such a nice town with lots of public art and parks. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants and exploring the town. The hosts were easy to work with and responsive. We would stay here again with a younger crowd. Thanks for opening this special house to us.

Great historic house!

This house was really fun to stay in! It was perfect for our group of 6. It was roomy and spacious and we loved the porch out front! It was clean and well kept. The listing does say 2 showers and there is only 1. That worked out ok but would have been nice to have the 2. Overall would highly recommend especially if you are visiting kids that go to SVU. Great location!
