Canoe, bike, hike or just hang out by the creek! We are a 15 minute (6 mile) drive from Lexington, Virginia, home to Washington & Lee University, Virginia Military Institute and the Virginia Horse Center. Rockbridge County Virginia is home to the Maury River, the only river in Virginia that begins & ends in the same county. Spring, summer and fall are great times for running the whitewater in Goshen Pass or tubing the flat water into Lexington. Come to the country where you can stay up late, dazzled by the stars and the Milky Way. In the late fall & winter, enjoy our cozy cabin and a game of pool. After dark in June and July, the lightning-bug display is amazing every night! Later in the summer and fall, the tree frogs and cicadas fill the air with their songs. The cabin is right on a popular (and challenging) biking route. The School House is located within 300 yards of a river access point locally known as Alone Mill. Upstream is my personal favorite stretch of canoeing on the Maury, it's a peaceful 5 hour ride in slow water and can be as fast as 2 hours when the river is up! You can put in at Goshen or Rockbridge Baths and walk home from the take-out. If you're more interested in a bubbling stream, Alone Mill Creek passes within 50 feet of the front door! Rockbridge County also has thousands of acres of National Forest and State-managed land for hunting and hiking in the mountains. The cabin is within about 6 miles of access at Goshen Pass and other spots are equally close. Other activities at the School House include a pool table, ping pong, basketball goal and badmitton set. The yard is large and flat, perfect for a football game, and the driveway is flat also, good for the little kids to practice bike riding. A 1 mile walk will take you to weekend wine tasting at Lexington Valley Vineyard, one of several vineyards in the county.

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. ##### Melissa B.

This vacation was an absolute delight for our family . Not only was the location perfect the house was just such a great fit for us and our golden retriever .We had a blast watching lightening bugs on the porch at night and enjoying our coffee out there in the morning. We all had fun playing ping pong and pool . Our son made a little nook watching tv while I read on the chaise lounge . Each room was spacious and had plenty of fans . The kitchen was roomy and we were able to enjoy most meals at the house and conveniently clean up . We played games and ate meals at the spacious kitchen table . The owners communicated promptly and were very helpful . We spent hours on the river with our son and dog . The kids kayak was the perfect touch . We had a blast navigating and exploring the Maury . Having a washer and dryer was very helpful with bathing suits . The huge porches were great to leave water shoes and nets . We brought large blankets for our dog and used a baby gate to keep him out of the carpeted part of the house once he went swimming . There was plenty of room for our dog and son to explore around the property and on the way to the river . We felt very safe with both our dog and son . This house allows pets but I never felt like another dog had been there , it was very clean . This house was full of history , amenities and fun . We will be sure to go back again and explore the river with the kayak and tubes . ##### mollie g. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth H. Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Alone Mill Schoolhouse was very charming, had everything we needed for our stay, and the host who lived nearby was wonderful and welcoming. Check in and check out was about as easy as it gets! We were near our family wedding venue which made it nice. Breathtaking part of Virginia. Would recommend to friends and family. ##### Beth H.
