We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. The French Cottage really is a special spot in the heart of Belmont and we love that it checked all the right boxes for your stay. We would love to be your home base again on your next visit!
Small but mighty! The apartment uses the space very wisely and is well appointed. It is so cute and the Belmont neighborhood was perfect. Great restaurants literally around the corner (you must go to The Local!) and perfect neighborhood for dog walking. We loved our stay so much we extended an extra day. Will definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time in this cute neighborhood, feels safe and loved being able to walk to great restaurants. Close to all the other places in Cville as well! French Cottage was a lovely get away!

Hey, Amy!
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and got to explore the neighborhood! It really is a great spot for local eats and shops. We'd love to have you back anytime!
Stayed at this pet friendly cottage apartment with our corgis for our anniversary weekend in Charlottesville. Spacious and clean with lovely decor. It is within walking distance to several great restaurants that have outdoor patios and are dog friendly. We had a great weekend after having to rebook from another place that had double booked us and had to find another location at the spur of the moment. Would definitely go back again.

Thank you so much for your kind words on the property, we hope to host you again in the future!
Great location, nice neighborhood, and clear communication from the host! My wife and I (and our 4-year-old golden retriever) really enjoyed our 2-night stay. Our only minor complaint is that the walls are thin and we could hear an upstairs neighbor yelling throughout the weekend. Still, we highly recommend staying here and it served our needs perfectly.
On our way to Charlottesville, we got a call that our original property had a water leak. We were offered this location as an alternative. We can’t believe our luck! This was the cutest cottage! We loved everything about it.
Awesome place, only had glitch trying to stream movies
