We (family of 5 - 2 adults, 3 teens) rolled into Lexington on a Thursday evening and stayed through Sunday. The home was lovely and the convenience of walking distance was fabulous for us to come and go, dine and sight see, walk to W&L Campus, etc. Plenty of room for more - as we were hoping another couple and their son were joining us - home would easily have accommodated 2 more adults and another teen. Beds were comfortable, kitchen / living area wonderful and front porch made for a relaxing retreat! As my husband and I are W&L alums, hope to re rent for reunions and other events in the future!! Owners and local friend very easy to reach with any questions we may have had, overall 10 stars if I could!!

This is an amazing, well appointed, beautiful home. We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the front porch, cozy family room connections with old friends, meals via the upgraded kitchen, and good nights rest in the comfy beds. This is our favorite home in Lex and where great memories are made. Hosts are responsiveness and Anna-Lisa was so very helpful at check in and throughout stay. Thanks for sharing your home.

This is a lovely, elegant home with great amenities and friendly and helpful hosts. It was the perfect family hangout for the downtime during a wedding weekend. It has a well stocked kitchen and a large dining room. It’s an easy walk into town for restaurants and shops.

Everything about this home is terrific…especially relaxing with a glass of wine on warm evenings on the porch swing! The host, Donna, is incredibly gracious and the house manager is friendly and a wealth of information about Lexington and the surrounding area. Already looking forward to our next stay!

Our family stayed at this lovely home for our son’s July wedding weekend in Lexington. It was great for all of us to be together, yet have room to spread out. The home had everything that we needed and we enjoyed all of the spaces… the charming front porch, the lovely living room, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable family room. It was nice to have a first floor bedroom for grandparents. Upstairs bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. On wedding day, our son and his groomsmen enjoyed lunch together at the big table in the back room, then dressed in the large dining room with mirrored armoire! It was perfect!
Our only issue was that the sunroom (with trundle) where I had planned for our young grandson to sleep is not air conditioned and on a hot July weekend, the room never cooled off, so we had to make a bed for him on the floor in another bedroom. Just be mindful of number of beds needed and time of year.
Owners were lovely to work with and accommodating. We would definitely choose Whitewood Hall again. It was a perfect place!

Gorgeous Stay
This house in downtown Lexington was the perfect space for my family as we gathered for a memorial service. The historic house is beautifully renovated and decorated, very clean, and is well stocked. Perfect location to walk to shops and restaurants and a relaxing front porch with ceiling fan to keep you cool on summer evenings. Hope to stay again! .

Fantastic Stay!
We were in Lexington for our daughter’s wedding at the Seclusion If I could give 100 stars I would! The house is fabulous and oh my the front porch! You never want to leave! But downtown is within walking distance for those wishing to take advantage of later night fun. Annalisa gave us so many great activity/food options . We passed a few on to our friends who were also in town. Thank you for adding so much to our wedding weekend enjoyment!

The house was great. It is very well equipped and in a great location for walking into town. It is a historic home so it has some quirks, but they just add to the charm. I will say the 6th bedroom (sunroom) doesn't have an A/C vent & can get very hot. This wasn't an issue as we did not use that room, but it is something to consider if your group needs all the beds.

Best graduation weekend ever!
Our daughter was graduating from VMI and commissioning in the navy. Donna’s home was perfect for our weekend celebration, offering plenty of room for our party of 12 to sit and talk and just enjoy being together. This house featured every comfort of home that you can imagine and then some! I wish we could have stayed longer, we hated to leave!

The house was beautiful. Well kept and spacious. It had everything you needed for your stay. It was well located in Lexington where we walked to the coffee shops in the morning or to pick up dinner at night from the local restaurants. The owners and friend who took care of us was super friendly and informative. Only 10 minutes from the Horse Center. Will definitely stay there again! Thank you!
