Treehouse in Charlottesville Downtown

The 'Treehouse' is a small, charming, rustic, 2 story house on stilts. There are air conditioning window units for the summer, and a woodstove for the winter. Must be proficient in lighting a woodstove as that is the primary source of heat in winter. Supplemental space heater, firewood and an electric blanket provided. Each floor is 12 ft x 12 ft. Downstairs there is a queen sized futon bed, a woodstove, and a small kitchenette (with refridgerator, toaster oven, and hotplate, coffee maker, pots, pans, utensils, a sink and a counter.) The upstairs is accessible by a steep staircase. It has a double-sized bed, a dresser and a desk.

There is a wrap-around partially covered porch with a couch and a great view of the creek, and the surrounding greenery. The bathroom is located in an enclosed room on the porch (toilet and sink.) The hot, private outdoor shower is adjacent on the porch. Unusual! And yes, we do have guests in the winter! There is a heater in the bathroom adjacent, so you can go from the hot shower straight into the warm bathroom, while enjoying the fresh outdoor air!

We are located 1 mile from the downtown mall in Charlottesville, and across the street from a lovely riverside trail. A creek, black walnut tree with a swing, vegetable garden and 3 free-range chickens are in the large yard. (Sweet chickens sleep under the Treehouse in their coop.)

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello is 10 minutes away, and many fabulous restaurants are in walking distance (10 minute walk.) Access to the lovely Riverside Trail is just across the street. Great place to walk dogs, bike and stroll.

On bus line (which passes once an hour), WiFi.
