Paxton sits in the heart of Lexington, Virginia’s Historic District. Built in the 1800s and restored with care, the house blends the patina of age with the comforts of home. When our family is not in residence, we share it with guests who appreciate its location and its quiet charm.

A Place Worth Returning to Again & Again

Words from our guests…

Our wedding weekend was absolutely wonderful (at Paxton) - the house was perfect for the bridesmaids’ accommodations, the hair and makeup get ready time, and the Thursday wedding party BBQ. So fun!
