Church Hill is a truly picturesque, meticulously preserved historic, peaceful and tranquil home! We had an amazing extended stay! From the start, the rental process, the check-in and everything else was just top notch. The owners are wonderful and were so responsive and informative it just made our stay that much better. Church Hill was so clean and so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We throughly enjoyed learning about Sam Houston’s birthplace, and the six generations of the Thompson Family that have lived there. There is so much to do there on the property as well as the surrounding towns. We so enjoyed our time with our VMI Keydet, his friends and their families, and our family members that got a chance to visit and explore the beautiful area. Watching the sunrises and sunsets in Church Hill’s sunroom I will treasure and truly miss. This house is one-of-a-kind! We highly recommend visiting!!!

We selected this property so our whole family could be together around the midpoint between JMU and Virginia Tech for our twins’ commencement ceremonies, and hosted a graduation party one night for friends and family. The property was a perfect venue, had everything we needed, and was beautiful. We couldn’t have selected a better property for our celebration and family vacation- also terrific for history buffs.

Wonderful experience at Church Hill! It's charming and comfortable and exceeded all expectations! Lots of space, excellent attention to detail, all the supplies and kitchen equipment, comfy beds, lots of room to spread out, the 2 full baths and 2 falf baths worked great for our group Outstanding Hosts! We want to return! Hosts!

This place is amazing, and the family that owns it is wonderful to deal with. So much history in every room. And the yard and acreage is beautiful. We had two families in our group, one with 2 kids and one with 3 kids, and we had plenty of room. There are two King rooms, a Queen room, a Twin/Full room, and a double Twin room. There's also a pullout couch in the family room if you need it, but we didn't. And room for Aerobeds if you bring one or two along. It is indeed a historic home, so it comes with the quirks that homes built before electricity and plumbing are bound to have. I consider that a benefit, not a drawback. You can easily spend an hour just looking at all of the historic photos around the house. All the beds are newer mattresses and very comfortable. Plenty of linens. And, as I said, Melinda Thompson is a delight to speak to, and helped us out with local recommendations and advice on the area, Natural Bridge is 20 minutes away. VMI/W&L/downtown Lexington is 10 minutes away. This place is centrally located to see all of the nearby sights. We will be back!
