About this property

Close to town, the college and a beautiful serene surrounding

Outstanding privacy given its close proximity to downtown and UVA wise this beautiful ranch, 3 BR, 2 Bath house is all your large family needs for a wonderful stay in the lush Virginia countryside. Large living room for gatherings, piano, TV, internet for entertainment. A comfortable front deck and covered porch provide outdoor dinning opportunities or just time to view and relax among the deer, meditation pond and peaceful views of an endless meadow without close neighbors. As per popular request we have added a large BBQ, an outside firepit, basketball goal with balls and other outdoor activities including corn hole and a fantastic tree swing.

We have a three night minimum stay but would possibly consider two nights to previous renters or under special circumstances. Its a large property to be having folks only staying two nights. Please reach out if you would like to review.

We can support special events as long as the overnight guest count is not exceeded. Special events will require a bit more cleaning fee and a few basic rules to follow, please reach out to discuss.

The house was perfect. I enjoyed the location very much. It was secluded and quiet. Exactly the kind of get away place I was looking for and definitely plan on returning with the family again really soon.

Comfy and well stocked
Easy in and out. Great country stay but close to town. House had everything we could have wanted. Will definitely stay again when in town.

Perfect Location, Wonderful Space
We were at this home for a week, and the size of the property allowed us to spread out and have plenty of room for everyone. The deer in the yard, the amazing star gazing, and the mountain bluebirds made this a mountain top retreat really special. This was our second trip to the property, and we were so relieved it was available for our trip!

Disliked: Amenities
It was mostly nice. We had a hard time adjusting the heat. But after I figured out how to turn the fan on automatic it was okay. The bed in the master bedroom was terrible. Everyone likes sleep number bed nowadays. I never slept a wink while I was there. The refrigerator had been written up before we got there and still had not been fixed. It freezes everything you put in it. Unacceptable. The yard was partially mowed. Very high grass where you stepped out of the car. One rail on the porch deck was very loose and dangerous to lean against. And let's not forget the spider on the bed in the bedroom and all of the spider webs hanging from the eaves around the house. Terminix might be a good idea. I have a prosthetic leg and a handicap shower would come in very handy. I actually felt that my $ would have been better spent at the Best Western. That's where we plan to stay next year.

Peaceful Country
The house was great. Dated, as other reviews say, but absolutely spotless. Everything was just as listed and very comfortable. The back yard area was wonderful. So nice to come in from work and relax out back while watching deer and bunnies play! Would definitely recommend and would stay again if in the area. The host was responsive and always made sure all was good!

About the host

Host profile image
We are fighting to keep this property in the family - it has been for over 125 years part of a local family farm. It was once an apple orchard and many old trees still line the area. We do not want to sell the property after our folks passed so in order to keep it in the family as well as visit local friends and family when we can we turned it into a short term rental. We are not trying to get rich here or take business away from local hotels or others, we are offering something completely different and unique and original. Once you see the location you will understand. please help us pay the bills, taxes and insurance for this property so we can keep it in the family by booking a long weekend in the Virginia mountains

Why they chose this property

This house is our family house we grew up in, we cherish the location and area and want to keep the property so a short term rental might allow us to do that

What makes this property unique

No traffic, no pollution, no noise, gigantic yard, tons of parking, great for events, secluded private space, wildlife including many deer, rabbits, even bob cat with too many local birds to count. At one time we counted over a dozen Cardinals in one tree.
