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.

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 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.

Something for everyone
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!

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.

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.

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.

The best views
We had an incredible time while staying at Jump Mountain. The views and setting cannot be beat. Having no noise or light pollution was the exact break we needed. We felt completely refreshed after our stay. The house is adorable and has all the comforts you need. We spent most of our time outside on the porch and in the yard.

Perfect place for a mini vacation with our grandsons!
We took our grandsons (ages 2, 3 and 14) and your beautiful, charming house was enjoyed by all!! When we arrived there were mini muffins and oranges that the boys immediately enjoyed, and fresh brown eggs we had for breakfast the next morning. The little ones loved the play room, and the oldest was thrilled with the DVD collection! We loved sitting on the porch in the morning and literally having cows stop and look over as they were passing by. It was truly the most relaxing few days!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your home !

Great Stay at a Historic Home
Visited with 5 of my teenage children (ages 12-17), and wasn't sure how they'd receive it. I was mostly concerned with them getting 'bored' without their regular sports activities and constant electronic entertainment, but the three younger boys were captivated by the comic collection and "old" record player. They loved the trampoline.
My daughters enjoyed hiking with me and taking pictures (plenty of great views, 'natural architecture', river scenes, etc.
Great location for visits to Lexington, Natural Bridge and even Blacksburg.
We hope to return this summer to visit the swimming holes and drive-in (they were open but it rained the night we planned on going).
Wendy is a great host who was welcoming and flexible. Looking forward to a return trip soon.

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.
