Middleton House is a handsome recently restored residence with private gardens in the heart of historic Lexington, Virginia. This small, friendly town lies between the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains. It retains a vibrant downtown--rich in historic buildings, shops, art galleries, and restaurants featuring locally raised foods--bordered by Washington & Lee University and Virginia Military Institute. Picturesque narrow streets lead to the Lee Museum, VMI Museum, several theaters, Confederate general Stonewall Jackson's house, the Maury River, and riverside trails--all within easy walking distance. A car gives easy access to kayaking, mountain-biking and hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail), scenic Goshen Pass, and spectacular Natural Bridge.

This amazing house served as our base of operations for my sister's wedding, and truly made the weekend incredible! We cannot express our gratitude for having been able to stay here--after this stay, I think some of us are seriously planning a move to Lexington! Thank you so much for opening your house & making a magical weekend even better.

Spacious and comfortable for a group

Submitted: May 6, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We had a wonderful stay in your house celebrating our reunion from W & L Law. The location of the house was ideal and the interior and exterior--both--superb. We were able to enjoy all that Lexington has to offer with ample room to spare in the house. The yard and side porch, too, were beautiful and comfortable to relax in. Thank you!

Valentines Day

Submitted: February 21, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Our second visit to Middleton House and 3rd visit to your "places" (March 12, McDowell Studio). Last August we came for my 61st birthday& this visit, my husband, college sweetheart of 37 years, celebrated Valentines Day--

Just two old "Lovebirds" and our "baby" Chi Buddy now 11 years old. No kids or grand kids just our own escape!! Of course we really love this home! No detail spared! In August we enjoyed the blooming flowers in the gardens& this time loved the wonderful fireplace in the sitting room! Brix was great last nite but tonight we're cozy reading by the fire (thanks for setting it up) on a rainy winter night with take-out from next door. We will be back to celebrate another special time here soon. Thanks!!

We had such a wonderful time! The house is perfectly situated for teenagers . . . they can walk to everything. This was our 2nd visit here, and I'm sure it won't be our last.

Wonderful Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: August 1, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We rented this property in July for 5 nights. It was a beautiful house, wonderfully decorated, fully equipped, and the owner has thought of so many thoughtful finishing touches. It had all the comforts of home. When we arrived the home was immaculate, and everything was ready for us. The location was perfect, we could walk into town for dinner or coffee in the morning. When we had a question during our stay, the owner, who we so enjoyed meeting, was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this rental and hope to come back to visit.

The icing on the cake

Submitted: June 11, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
Had a wonderful time here in Lexington celebrating our granddaughter's graduation from W&L College. Middleton House was the icing on the cake- a real showplace. Friends and family were very surprised by the beautiful restoration.

Thank you for great accommodations.
