Peaceful retreat

Such a wonderful place to stay. Everything is clean and welcoming, all you have to do is enjoy your time there. We were attending graduation at UVA and it was a short and easy commute to Charlottesville.

I came into town for the Tyler Childers concert and this was the perfect spot for me and my dog! Quiet, secluded, beautiful scenery — but close enough to town if you need anything. An easy drive to C’ville and surrounding areas. It didn’t disappoint!

Great House to Relax

Our group of 6 (3 couples) had a wonderful time. The house is very comfortable with many little touches that made the stay so much better. The owner quickly responded whenever I reached out to her, mainly before our stay. We did not need to contact her during the stay because everything was perfect. I highly recommend this house, we all would book it again.

A+ Get Away

Home was exactly as advertised and better in so many ways. Had everything we needed. Large space with comfy beds. Very clean. Lots of unique nice touches (fire pit, smoker, TVs with lots of options, games, puzzles, snacks, tankless hot water heater) all in a beautiful location.

The house was very clean and the kitchen was equipped with many dishes, glasses and cookware. Beds were very comfortable. We had access to the host if needed, which it was not. The special touches they incorporated into the home were wonderful. We stayed there over Easter weekend and the added special touches were very noticeable and much appreciated.We did not have a pet but there is plenty of room for one. They provided fire wood for their fire pit and pellets for their grill, both of which we used. A! They also provided extra lap blankets for sitting outside while having morning coffee. Very nice touch on a cool morning. This host definitely thinks about their client and wants them to have a wonderful experience, which we absolutely did.The house is private and quiet, but not far from downtown and other events. Would definitely stay here again if the need arises.

This house was so cozy, clean and in a beautiful location. The outside amenities (porch, fire pit) were a big hit during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, as well as the bathrooms. Communication with the host was quick and thorough. We all decided this would be a great place to come back to!
