Rose Hill Delightful Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: November 1, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My wife and I along with our two year old grandson stayed at Rose Hill for five delightful days. We actually had reserved the home for a week but hurricane Sandy cut our trip short as our home residence was located directly in the path of the storm and the owner graciously refunded a portion of our rental, at her insistance, even though we did not expect one.

The listing on VRBO was completely accurate although the pictures did not do it justice. When we arrived at the home, we felt as though we had traveled through a time time warp into the 1800's except better, since the residence has all the modern amenities one would expect of a 21st century home. We ate several meals in Lexington but mostly cooked at home in the well equipped kitchen. Our two year old loved the four fireplaces, playing in the beautiful sun room at the rear of the house and exploring all the large rooms throughout the home. THE ENTIRE HOUSE WAS IMMACULATELY CLEAN and the property manager and owner were great to work with prior to, during and after our visit.

While continually entertained by all the cattle and abundance of wildlife on the property, we did manage to get away to some of the local attractions. Natural Bridge is a must see and our toddler loved a nature park called Boxerwood in Lexington next to the golf course. We especially enjoyed lunching at the Bistro on Main St. in Lexington where the servers entertained our toddler by making monkey faces and noises as they past by. Overall, we found the locals in Lexington to be very friendly and accommodating.

We hope to return to the Lexington area in the future and would stay again at Rose Hill. We highly recommend this property to others.

Quite spectacular

5 of 5
Submitted: October 18, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
This really is an 1820's vintage large stately home but note the spacious kitchen is very contemporary and nicely equipped. The only caveats are: the drive is a 1.1 mile dirt road, there's no decent grocery stores close by, and while there are 2 full bathrooms one is downstairs. Plus I never made good friends with the donkey :)

We were two 65+ year old couples on a Civil War tour - and to this point there is much on the walls relative to this event to be savoured. The rooms all are spacious, very comfortable and homely, with a splendid solarium across the whole width at the back. Very nice working barbie. Nice grounds, cattle watching you, and that curmudgeonly donkey!

If you like classy luxury and have a sense of history this is a wonderful place to visit.

The owner was very attentive before and after our visit.

Top marks.

The Perfect Fall Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: October 1, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My wife and I spent a wonderful Fall weekend with friends at Rose Hill. Everything about this lovely historic home was as we had hoped for; spacious, warm, fully equipped, and with the perfect country view as promised. We plan to return (hopefully soon) with our adult children for a holiday getaway, and can't wait to settle in again to this charming and welcoming home-away-from-home. The owner who hosted us were terrific to work with, and we're ready to return!

We had a wonderful time at Rose Hill! It’s absolutely beautiful and relaxing. I found myself forgetting I was away from my home – it had every convenience and was so clean and well keep. Joyce does a great job of caring for the house and your guest.

Paradise!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
To celebrate our 10th anniversary, my husband and I chose to get away from it all at Rose Hill. It was heavenly - the house is spotlessly clean and filled with amenities and homey-touches galore. From the well designed and equipped cook's kitchen, to the eclectic music collection and comfortable beds, we couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy each other's company.
