VMI Family weekend
The house and property is a great space for a large group. We could spread out and could enjoy a variety of activities on the property. Exploring the grounds and pasture allowed us to stretch our legs. Seeing the cows live a good life was refreshing. The views are spectacular! After a long day of Family Weekend at VMI the back porch and hammock were super relaxing! Would definitely recommend this property for anything VMI related.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Baxter

Host profile image
We came from the UK in 1984 and lived in FL for some years. We found Lexington when on vacation here and bought the farm in 1993. Lexington is a beautiful small town to raise children in a peaceful environment. There is a good music scene, beautiful scenic hikes and riding trails. Golf and fishing. We are just five miles from downtown Lexington yet out in the countryside surrounded by farmland. It's bliss.

Why they chose this property

The amazing thing about this property is from it's location and views you would think you were miles away from anything and yet you are only 5 miles from downtown and 3 miles to the I81 and I64. Location, Location, Location and this is it. Perfect for reunions, college parents weekends and graduation gatherings. There are also two log cabins on the farm. Rent everything and have a great gathering at Lazy Acres Farm.

What makes this property unique

It's rare to find a property where so many can stay. In addition to the lodge there are two logs cabins sleeping up to six people each. Perfect for family reunions, graduations and weddings. Plenty of rolling acres to hike around and just get away from the town and enjoy nature on your doorstep.
