Travellers describe Alone Mill Schoolhouse - A paradise for outdoor lovers as a rustic, quiet retreat with spacious interiors, a big yard, and a creekside setting, ideal for families and pets, and a short drive to Lexington and Natural Bridge.
Many praise welcoming hosts, easy check-in, and a well-stocked home with game tables, porches, a fire pit, grill, and access to a creek or nearby river for simple outdoor fun. Cleanliness is generally good, though a few mention a musty smell or isolated lapses, and there are occasional maintenance niggles like overgrown bushes or tall grass. Expect a peaceful, no-frills stay focused on nature and space rather than polish or luxury.

Great place to stay for a quiet, outdoorsy getaway. It's not fancy, it's quaint, and plenty of room for a small group. We loved the side porch, the creek and teaching our little one to play pool. Thank you!

We had a lovely weekend! The house was perfect with 3 bedrooms and a den. We went to the Virginia Safari on Saturday. Grilled steaks Saturday. And had s’mores at the fire pit that evening. It was off the beaten path, but was still within 15 minutes to Walmart and Starbucks. Overall a great stay!

Enjoyable and relaxing, close to Natural Bridge attractions. The only thing I would have liked more is if the bushes on the porch off the pool room had been trimmed up so we could have used that porch area better, but besides that everything else was great. Thank you George Perras

Check in and out was very easy. The property was clean and stocked with everything we needed (towels, TP, etc.). We enjoyed playing in the stream next to the house and my husband loved fly fishing in the bigger river across the street. Lots of games and toys at the house to play with too. We took advantage of the basketball hoop and ball as well as balls with gloves there for guests. Thank you for a wonderful stay!! FYI Ruby Tuesday does deliver food to this address.

This was the perfect middle point for our family to meet for a long weekend. Everything was wonderful. Sarah and Charles showed us how to get to the river access. The yard was fantastic for games and we all enjoyed creek stomping. The house was great. Very comfortable and well laid out. We look forward to staying again!

We stayed with our three kids for three nights. The place was great and our kids loved playing in the stream on the property during the day and playing pool at night. Our only issue was the grass. The house sits on a large field and it had not been cut in quite a while so we had to go through 6-8 inch high grass to use the fire pit, get to the stream, or go to the actual river. This invariably led to a lot of ticks. We are an outdoors loving family so we are pretty practiced at tick checks but it did make the stay slightly less enjoyable as anytime the kids went outside, we had to do a full body tick check when they came back in. Otherwise the stay was great and we really enjoyed going into Lexington and down to the Natural Bridge and the VA Safari Park. We also appreciated the owners letting us check out an hour late so we weren't as rushed getting out in the morning. We would definitely go back if we ever needed to stay near Lexington again.

Very nice, clean, welcoming. Terrific yard space for pup and games. A bit disappointed with grill (a balancing act with broken leg). Leg on dining table needs to be secured. A nice cabin, loved for sure, but needed a little attention.

We had a wonderful family vacation at the schoolhouse.There was plenty for all of us to do outside - the creek,the river, the basketball hoop, the fire pit, the grill and the two porches. Inside there was a pool/pingpong table, tv’s and great internet. The kitchen had everything we needed and the two bathrooms had plenty of towels and necessities. The laundry even had detergent. The back roads and country environment are gorgeous! Lexington was a great little town. Grocery shopping was very convenient. The owners were wonderful hosts. We would all love to return.

We had a fantastic stay at Alone Mill Schoolhouse! The house is converted from an old schoolhouse, but it was very clean and comfortable. Our boys loved playing in the little creek on the property. We weren't able to enjoy the river due to heavy rains making the river deeper than usual with a strong current, but it was easily accessible through the owners property across the street from the school house. There is a big yard, and it is on a quiet street. The owners are very responsive to messages, and were very helpful. It is about a 30 minute drive from the attractions in Natural Bridge. Our boys are already asking when we can come back!

Very clean home. Spacious rooms and entertainment area. Great communication from owner. Very accommodating. The only gig was a musty smell when you enter, nothing overwhelming. The location is remote. You are within 15-20 minutes of Lexington but it is not an easy ride. If you know this up front, it is no issue, just an fyi.

Very disappointed with this place. The floors were dirty and our feet and socks were filthy. I was in town for an event that I needed the oven for baking. The oven turned on and got warm but not warm enough to bake anything. It wouldn't even defrost my frozen meal. Very very disappointing.

I came with two of my friends to fly fish and watch my daughters concert at W&L. The description of this charming schoolhouse said rustic so I knew going in that it was not going to be a typical hotel stay, but it exceeded my expectations. It was very clean, there were extra pillows, the beds were comfortable. It’s nestled in nature. With farms and old houses all around. The creek and walking paths just outside the house we’re an extra bonus for us. It reminded us of going to the school house on “Little house on the Prairie”

Very fun getaway property. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, coffee makers and well heated/insulated in the wintry weather. Property is lovely for walks and must be amazing in all seasons. Close enough to Lexington for errands, far enough away to be secluded and quiet. Pool Table was a big hit!

Great house, great property, great area. The house and area were terrific for us. You are in the outskirts of town among the mountains and streams. It’s quiet and peaceful. It’s about 15 minutes from downtown. We brought our dog- there was enough land for him to run free and we didn’t have to worry about cars on the road. He got to swim in the creek as well.

We had a great time staying at this property. Being from florida, the winding mountain roads were a little intimidating, but by the end of our trip I was driving them with confidence. We enjoyed the house! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and basic necessities. The bathroom with a tub did not hold water, but we were able to find a rubber stopper cover in the drawer of that same bathroom which helped the next time we tried to give the baby a bath. The property was clean and the outdoors were great!

We had a lovely weekend! The house was perfect with 3 bedrooms and a den. We went to the Virginia Safari on Saturday. Grilled steaks Saturday. And had s’mores at the fire pit that evening. It was off the beaten path, but was still within 15 minutes to Walmart and Starbucks. Overall a great stay!

Our stay was great. We are a family of 6 and the house had plenty of room for us. My kids loved the yard and the creek and the pool table. This was the best equipped rental we've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed as a big family from dishes to towels there were lots of extras. It was awesome for my toddler. There was a booster seat for the table, plug covers on outlets, and a pack n play. There were books, puzzles and games for every age. It was super quiet and the porch was great for coffee in the morning. We never made it to the big river, the creek in the yard was great. We recommend Rockbridge county pizza and pasta for dinner. Its by the superwalmart. And the Virginia Transportation Museum in Roanoke was worth the hour ride. We would for sure stay again.

Check in and out was very easy. The property was clean and stocked with everything we needed (towels, TP, etc.). We enjoyed playing in the stream next to the house and my husband loved fly fishing in the bigger river across the street. Lots of games and toys at the house to play with too. We took advantage of the basketball hoop and ball as well as balls with gloves there for guests. Thank you for a wonderful stay!! FYI Ruby Tuesday does deliver food to this address.

Very nice, clean, welcoming. Terrific yard space for pup and games. A bit disappointed with grill (a balancing act with broken leg). Leg on dining table needs to be secured. A nice cabin, loved for sure, but needed a little attention.

We had a wonderful family vacation at the schoolhouse.There was plenty for all of us to do outside - the creek,the river, the basketball hoop, the fire pit, the grill and the two porches. Inside there was a pool/pingpong table, tv’s and great internet. The kitchen had everything we needed and the two bathrooms had plenty of towels and necessities. The laundry even had detergent. The back roads and country environment are gorgeous! Lexington was a great little town. Grocery shopping was very convenient. The owners were wonderful hosts. We would all love to return.
