Way way out with kitchenette
Could just be me but i did assume i was alone in a cottage but i was squeezed in between both sides and ceiling with quiet people and dogs...not a private feeling.

Hi Regina,
Thank you for the feedback. We are very up front about the type of unit we offer ("Studio") and the dogs in the description. It also may serve you well in the future to communicate with your hosts and respond to their messages.
See below for what you missed, and what others should know before booking.
Better luck next time.
"Ghost Pine is the beloved rustic country property of Eric & Amy Hart. They moved here in 2006 when Amy was battling cancer. They thought this property was the perfect place to recover in a peaceful and private setting. Over the next 2 years Amy would fight the disease and finally win, making her cancer-free for many years now. Hooray!
Eric and Amy don’t have children, and rarely used the guest suite so decided in 2020 to open it up to AirBNB guests. They love to have guests in the house and love to entertain, so it is a perfect fit. Never be afraid to text us if you have questions or need something.
Amy owns Dovetail Design & Cabinetry (Charlottesville VA), and has been a designer for over 20 years. Eric manages the Dovetail warehouse and has been a cabinet installer and carpenter for many years. Eric is a Broadway veteran, having starred in musicals such as Les Miserables, The Scarlet Pimpernel and more. These days he focuses on film and TV. Amy is also an award-winning filmmaker and actress. They have two adorable large Pyranees-mix dogs called Starr and Wynn. You’ll hear them but shouldn’t see them unless you take a peek into the back yard. Naturally they believe everyone who arrives is here to murder us, so expect some barking upon arrival and with loud noises.
Don and Donna are Amy’s parents and they live in the west wing of the home. Don is a retired fire chief from Michigan (still volunteering with Scottsville FD and Lake Monticello FD) also works with Dovetail part-time. Donna is a retired HR professional and loves to sew. She sewed some of the things in the AirBNB such as the curtains and daybed mattress. If you need something hemmed or fixed quickly please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask! Don and Donna have two kitties Beau and Celestia and one small pup Lily."

We are locals but needed a place while relocating. The property was in a lovely setting, quiet and very tidy and well appointed. Lots of small details including a personalized welcome message and separate entrance. Would absolutely recommend

Comfortable
We were in town for a wedding. 2 night stay was very comfortable. Seems like it’s in the middle of nowhere but we navigated just find. The cottage is exactly as described. The water pressure in the shower was amazing. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch. Cute, cozy cottage.
Amy is a fantastic host! Great communication and extra touches that are much appreciated. The ‘apartment’ was very clean, well designed, and extremely comfortable. The area is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. Highly recommend all around!!

The Standard by which VRBO is Judged
If there is a school for VRBO providers then our hosts graduated top of their class. They should teach others. There was nothing more we could have wanted.

Adorable little gem!
Absolutely adorable little place, perfect for our needs with everything we could want for a short stay. Inside space was small but functional, and there was a huge porch out front with table/ chairs that doubled the living space. Very nice hosts, quiet area and close to Charlottesville. We loved it.
