Church Hill – A Spacious, Historic, Pet-Friendly Retreat on Rolling Virginia Acreage
Big, Beautiful, Historic Home Perfect for Family & Friends!
Welcome to Church Hill, a remarkable 5-bedroom, 3-bath brick manor built in 1848, located on tranquil acreage just minutes from downtown Lexington, VA. This spacious and pet-friendly vacation rental in Lexington, VA has everything you need for relaxing gatherings, celebrations, and unforgettable getaways in the Shenandoah Valley.

A Historic Home With Modern Comfort & Endless Space
Situated on the very birthplace of Texas legend Sam Houston, this home blends history, scenic beauty, and modern amenities. With multiple living areas, wide hallways, high ceilings, and large bedrooms, guests enjoy an airy, open feel throughout.
Church Hill at Timber Ridge is rich with American and cinematic history. Sam Houston—legend of the Republic of Texas—was born on this land in 1793. More than 200 years later, Hollywood came to the property when scenes from Gods & Generals were filmed here. During production, well-known actors including Stephen Lang and C. Thomas Howell were on site, making Church Hill part of both American and film heritage.”
Step outside and discover the sweeping acreage surrounding the home, ideal for kids to run, dogs to explore, and adults to unwind in complete privacy. Morning coffee on the porches, sunset views across the fields, and evening gatherings under the stars make this property truly special.
If you’re visiting the Sam Houston Wayside, you’re only moments away—Church Hill is one of the closest and most convenient places to stay near this historic landmark.

Summary: 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.
