Restored 1840 House with Gardens in Historic Downtown

Just blocks from Washington & Lee University and Virginia Military Institute, historic Middleton House offers privacy and seclusion in the heart of picturesque downtown Lexington. This handsome residence, with extensive fenced gardens, combines period taste--including antiques, art, and original c.1840 colors--with modern comfort. A sunny sitting room, generous dining room, and eat-in kitchen overlooking the garden provide an ideal setting for relaxing and entertaining. Bedrooms have excellent mattresses, high-quality linens, and their own bathrooms.

Without getting in a car, guests enjoy cooking locally grown foods from the Lexington Farmer's Market down the street, shopping in Lexington's vibrant downtown, walking the beautiful Woods Creek Trail nearby, and lounging on the wide screened porch. Middleton House is the perfect place for a get-away vacation, a party, a wedding reception, or a reunion. For comments from the Middleton House guestbook, please see our posted reviews.

We had a great stay here. It was perfect for our family, walking distance to many areas of Lexington. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and watching the “nightlife” in Lexington. We were even visited by a ghost tour! So we got a little history of the house. Overall great stay.

Beautiful historic home!

This home is perfect for a larger group staying in Lexington. The home was very clean, well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. I would love to visit in the warmer months to take advantage of the porch and garden area. Being within walking distance of everything in town was so convenient. Peter was quick to reply when I contacted with questions. I highly recommended property!

Old Charm

We were in town to attend a Washington and Lee football game . This rental was perfect. The charm, decor and well stocked kitchen made the rental a solid 10. The location, parking, dog friendly atmosphere ,comfy bed, and vintage decor made it hard to check out. We will be back!

Very spacious historical home with all the amenities you could ask for. Love that every bedroom has it's own bathroom and the main level suite was perfect for the grandparents. The location could not be any better, close to everything! Would love to stay here again.
