Half way meet up for two sisters and 4 boys
My sister and I like to meet up in the Lexington area since it is a half way meet up place. This was our first visit in the summer months and we wanted a place that our 4 boys could enjoy. The house is large enough that we weren't stepping on each other and great for hide and go seek. Our parents joined us for two of the nights and having the second bathroom was nice for them to use. The den is off to the side so when we were cooking the kids were out of our way which is nice. I had a two year old and having a booster seat there was very thoughtful and one less thing for us to bring. What impressed me the most was how clean the place was. That is very important to me and I could tell how much pride the owners took in their rental. The yard is huge, washer and dryer is plus with kids, eating outside was great, beds were comfy and room on the floor for a blow up mattress. We only stayed in the walk in section of the river. A little too scary with such young kids 2-9 years old. Plus it rained one night and the current had picked up. We will be back yearly for sure. A VRBO must!
PS. If you do one thing in the area go to the Safari Park....amazing! Ride the wagon for sure.

Peace and Quiet
We are about to end a fabulous week here at Alone Mill Schoolhouse. It was a last minute vacation choice and we couldn't be happier. The cabin met all of our family's requirements: quiet, clean, comfortable, adequate cooking facilities, laundry facilities, close to outdoor activities, and best of all, we could bring our dog. The cabin has 2 TVs but we didn't even use them; we were too busy enjoying every minute of this area. We have 2 teenage boys, who can get bored very easily, but they were not bored for a minute. When they weren't kayaking in the river, they were playing Frisbee in the yard or riding bikes, or walking trails. At night we would play pool, read, or played cards.
The Maury River is absolutely beautiful. We tried to get a coupe kayak trips in a day. We usually took the shorter trip but the longer one from Rockbridge Baths was spectacular. We also recommend a nice walk down Whiteside Drive. It is a nice long walk that goes alone a little creek and crosses over it several times. We were greeted by the cutest herd of cows and a few little calves.
As far as the cabin is concerned, there is a lot to love here. It is furnished in some very cute and somewhat eclectic mix of furniture. I especially loved the antique and "shabby chic" pieces and the beautiful quilts. The paint on the walls is also a perfect choice of contemporary colors that are very calming. The linens are nice quality, nothing cheap or uncomfortable to use. The beds were also very comfortable. The bathrooms have high quality updated fixtures.... and we also noticed the wiring in the house is above average, with plenty of lighting and ceiling fans throughout. There are a few herbs growing outside that we used in our cooking.
We will definitely be coming back here unless we buy our own little piece of heaven first.

A Very Special Litle Corner Of The World
Alone Mill Schoolhouse sits so far back from the road that it feels even more secluded than it actually is. I loved this part for our dogs. We sat on the porch and let them chase each other around the huge yard until they were exhausted, Everything about the cottage was just as it was listed on the website. The ambiance was great. The kitchen was supplied with everything that you could need. We went swimming in the Maury River which felt fantastic, it was a very hot day and the water is so clean and clear. It had been a long time since I swam in a real "ole swimming hole." There is nothing like it! The sounds of nature sing you to sleep at night and wake you up in the morning. We didn't do much site seeing but we did spend an afternoon in Lexington which is great for anyone who is a history buff. I would highly reccomend Cafe' Michel in Lexington for an evening out. We spent most of our time just lounging around the cabin, catching up (we hadn't seen each other in awhile)and relaxing which is exactly what we wanted to do. Our dog liked it so much there that he went under the back deck and wouldn't come out when we were ready to leave! We spent a week in July 2009. I hope to spend a few days again sometime this summer.
