Guests will have complete privacy and access to the entire home and its 2.4-acre lot. Rest assured that no one will ever be sharing the space and property while guests are in the home.
However, it is important to note that they should stay within the property borders and avoid exploring the wooded areas or the neighbors` yards.
The house is located in a peaceful subdivision neighborhood with only four other homes in close proximity to each other. This means that guests will have neighbors nearby.
If you are looking for a smaller space for a `couples` getaway or a trip with 2-4 friends, we recommend checking out our `The Cottage at Oakridge Retreat` listing on the first level of the house. These listings will NEVER be booked at the same time to ensure guests have 100% privacy.
We do not live on the property, but we have a local team who can provide assistance as necessary.
We will not interfere with our guests` visit but can always be reached by message, email, or phone. Airbnb app is our preferred communication.
Oakridge Retreat is located in a quiet subdivision conveniently located minutes from Lexington. It is in a rural area but the house is in a neighborhood with expansive lots but houses are visible to one another.
The views of the Blue Ridge Mountains cannot be beat! Hiking trails, outdoor adventure and gorgeous drives in every direction. The home is the perfect landing pad for VMI, W&L and SVU alumni or parents. We love venturing into Lexington for a great meal or to catch live music at Lime Kiln Theatre.
We recommend bringing your own vehicle for getting around the larger area, as Lexington does not currently have an active taxi or cab service.
We are a 15 minute drive to downtown Lexington, a 15 minute drive to the VA Horse Center, and a 20 minute drive to Natural Bridge.
Note: The Blue Ridge Parkway is closed whenever there is ice or snow as it is not scraped or treated by the highway department. If GPS routes you this way, check to make sure it is open before setting out for travel.
