About the host

Host profile image

Hi! I'm Lindsey. My husband and I went to UVA, moved around the country for several years, and like most UVA, Charlottesvile loving people, found our way back to this gorgeous amazing place! We came to appreciate the areas outside of central Charlottesville when we returned. We love the views, wineries, breweries, restaurants, and most of all the people and community. This home is a dream come true. We have always wanted to provide a place where people can gather together to celebrate special times and enjoy good company. When we first found this home- we were immediately attracted to the large open space, numerous bedrooms and the ability to accommodate parties, weekends away, and a bridal party preparing for the big day. Our families have been completely involved in executing the renovation. The name of the house is a tribute to each of our mothers. We are thrilled to host you and have you stay at the Lewis Catherine house and enjoy a place we love calling home!
