About this property
Honey House—beautiful detached Modern loft near UVA, Downtown and Monticello
Modern design and loft style 800 sq ft guesthouse near UVA. Lots of light and privacy in a quiet neighborhood. Located on the southwest side of Charlottesville, just 7 minutes to Scott Stadium/UVA/restaurants, 10 minutes minus plus to the downtown mall and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. Central to many major wineries and breweries. You are in nature but close to downtown and restaurants. With a comfortable queen size bed, and sleeping cot available if necessary. It is clean and comfortable, a spacious alternative to hotels. Whether you are here for work or attending events; for sightseeing or simply a weekend gateway, it’s a great place to unwind for a good night’s sleep and sweet dreams. (special rates applied for weekly/monthly stay).
There are 2 guest houses on the property, Honey House and Honey B. They are separate but nearby, designed with maximum privacy in mind: different parking locations and separate building entrances. Ideal for 2 couples vacationing together.

Or, zoom in map to see both.
This renovated Scandinavian-inspired interior has all the modern amenities: shower and bathroom (bath essentials,hair dryer,iron), a fully functional kitchen (refrigerator, microwave, stove, dishwasher, coffee, tea). A large sofa, Smart TV, Satellite TV, Showtime, and a dining area, a reading corner, mini-split for air/heat, 2 Ceiling fans and 5 sky lights. A sunny deck on the front and a sliding door leading to a shady deck off the back. The house is under a row of tall cedar trees and about 200 ft in the garden area behind main house on a land of 4 acres. If you like to keep your exercise routine such as yoga or walking while traveling this is a good place for you.
Our Neighborhood—The Honey House is located in a quiet residential neighborhood called Sherwood Farms on the Southwest corner of Charlottesville, just beyond the UVA campus. The oldest buildings in the neighborhood were built in the late 1950s. Our street, Overlook Drive is a mile-long loop with about 30 homes, each having 2-4 acres. The unique location offers best of both worlds: in beautiful nature yet close to town, UVA and everything Charlottesville, Central to many major wineries and breweries. It has easy access to I-64, Route 29 and 250, but is tucking into the woods, out of sight and earshot of all roadways; and you can generally come and go without traffic delays.
Interaction with guests:
We're friendly and unobtrusive and almost always around. Let us know if you need anything. You may see us sometimes in the vegetable garden or the small apiary with bees all the way back. You may also encounter a few bunnies and birds as well as butterflies. You are welcome to herbs from the garden for cooking.
Guest Access:
Entire guesthouse, the yard and all surrounding vegetable and flower gardens.

Rural setting with modern design and amenities, close to town.
County sales tax included included.

What makes this property unique
We're not sure the year the building was built, but we do know original owner once had gatherings here. There must have been many great evenings singing songs around the player piano, which they left behind, but it was still rough living. The building had electricity but no running water or kitchen.
In 2006 the original owners sold the property; what would become the Honey House was used as a storage shed until we moved in in 2013. We continued to used it as a storage shed, until spring of 2015 when we started renovations.
As of April 2018, only family members and friends have used the building, and now that after we've concluded the testing phase, now opening it up to the public.
It is no longer a shed; we feel we've created a unique experience with the Honey House. This newly renovated Scandinavian-inspired interior has all the modern amenities: shower and bathroom (bath essentials,hair dryer,iron), a fully functional kitchen (refrigerator, microwave, stove, dishwasher, coffee, tea). A large sofa, TV, cable and a dinning area, a reading corner, mini-split for air/heat, 2 Ceiling fans and 5 sky lights. A sunny deck on the front and a sliding door leading to a shady deck off the back. The house is under a row of tall cedar trees and about 120 ft in the garden area behind main house on a land of 4 acres. If you like to keep your outdoor exercise routine while traveling this is a good place for you.
