Lovely Historic home that could use a good cleaning

The home, although a bit out of the way, was beautifully situated. Unfortunately, it was only superficially clean and really needed a proper scrubbing.

Beautiful farm house and great views

We were in town for our sons wedding. House comfortably accomodated my family for the weekend. Beautifully historically decorated. Fields next to house back up to a cow pasture. Recommend for peaceful stay and those that like the historic setting.

A true step back in time

It was amazing to have the privilege of being able to stay in a home that is this timeless. However with an 1850's home, there are some aspects that may not be what you're used to, especially the bathroom facilities. They were OK, but a renovation in that area would be welcome. The beds are all comfortable! Great internet, too. I loved just seeing all the antiques ... and the beautiful views. We weren't often at the house because we were in town for our daughters graduation. It's a unique experience to stay in this home!

We all enjoyed this charming house. Loved the atmosphere, the views, location. Grandkids enjoyed the trampoline and toy room; grandparents loved the back porch, books, farmer's market, visits to local sites, Lexington, Staunton. We'll be back!

Nice place to unwind

Wendy was very easy to work with and has excellent communication. The views are wonderful and my children enjoyed the hammocks. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast for the first morning was a thoughtful touch. The toys upstairs were a huge hit with my youngest child and entertained him for hours.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay while in town for a horse seminar in Lexington. The house is beautiful & the views are spectacular! Feels like you step back in time & experience life as it was 100 years ago. The house was clean & communication with the host was excellent We would love to visit again when we have more time to explore the area.

It was ok. One window had cardboard in it. Heat was off when we entered it was very cold and took a while to warm up and not enough washcloths for everyone. Bed was ok pillow was essentially flat.

Charm, views, and cows!

We were there for a family reunion/Birthday celebration. The grounds are very cool. Beautiful views and a cow pasture right behind the house. There were so many cool finds in the house from antiques, to Old National Geographic’s and old books, to a ton of DVDs to watch on a rainy night. I agree with some other reviews that the place needs an update (paint, doors that close - and open - my husband got stuck in the powder room, updated bathrooms, better AC and Wi-Fi…). But it’s an old house and full of charm and I think that out weighed the rest. Wendy is very quick to respond and that helped a lot with planning our trip.

Nothing to Jump At

This was a terrible experience. We arrive to stay for two night. Only stayed one. Did not sleep in any of the bed rooms we as two of the rooms were in feasted with bugs. The women refused to stay. We had to make arrangements for them to stay with friend. We slept I. The TV room, the Tv did not by the way. It was an awful experience. Because we could not stay Saturday Night… being that everything in Lexington was booked up we had to cut our visit short

Hoping for better

Wendy was great host communicating instructions to get into house and with a pamphlet describing the history behind her family’s ownership of Jump Mountain. This house while large has seen better days. Lights didn’t work and the house was dirty. The kitchen was small and very dated-even had a full size wash machine wedged between the sink and the oven. What made us very uneasy was the presence of several locked rooms with adjacent locked stairways that weren’t really described to the renter and seemed strange. The bathrooms were not really adjacent to the bedrooms and were extremely inadequate. I love the countryside around Lexington and have stayed at several local homes and Wendy seemed very nice but we opted to stay in a Lexington hotel for the weekend. The outside of the house and location had great vistas as advertised. . I would suggest this house needs some work and updating before being put back on VRBO. Lexington, while close as the crow flies is, at best, a 40 minute drive to city center. We were really disappointed.

I feel like I am in a Jane Austen novel!

Not only did my daughter feel like she was in a Jane Austin novel; surrounded by high ceilings, tall windows, and gorgeous antique furnishing, but she also READ a Jane Austin novel pulled from one of the many bookshelves. Books lovers will find untold treasures here! I loved the beautiful wood floors and huge rooms. The window units kept the house very cool and comfortable. The master bedroom was lovely, with a very comfortable bed! There were plenty of extra sheets and towels all over the house. The dining room was beautiful and perfect for our family of 11. We simply had to set up the kitchen table right next to the dining room table. The living room was wonderful for reading or playing games. The den was cozy and great for watching TV or movies. My six-year-old girl was in awe of all the toys and dress up clothes in the children’s room. They all loved the trampoline and the hammocks. The kitchen was very small. I would suggest bringing extra paper products and any kitchen utensils that you can’t live without. We found apples and eggs waiting for us in the fridge. I had spoken with Wendy prior to our trip, and she arranged for six dozen local farm eggs to be delivered. Wendy was wonderful! She was happy to give me volumes of information. Communication was a little difficult during our stay because cell service was spotty, even with the WIFI. We all loved the back porch and patio, with a picturesque view overlooking cow pastures and mountain ridges. We cooked outside on the firepit as often as we could. Once the sun went down, the night sky was a wonder, with more twinkling stars than I could ever see in my neighborhood at home. The Virginia countryside was stunning! Lexington was a charming town about 30 minutes away (the closest place for food and gas we could find). My oldest daughter loved the Bookery and The Downtown Bookstore. I just adored the Farmers Market on Wednesday morning from 8-12:30am. My husband and I enjoyed a perfect date night at the Southern Inn. Our older children enjoyed Panther Falls (1 hour away) followed by Todd’s Barbecue in Buena Vista, and swimming and the swinging bridge at Goshen Pass (12 minutes away). Natural Bridge Sate Park (40 minutes away) was breathtaking, and the majesty can’t be conveyed with a photograph. We enjoyed our stay!
