The Broadhead Mountain Retreat is located just a short drive from the city-limits of Charlottesville, taking you out of town, while still overlooking it. Broadhead, completed in 2011, offers modern living with rustic charm and quality. There are two private bedrooms to choose from –a master bedroom offering a high-end Savy Sleeper queen sized mattress and private bath and on the opposite side of the home a bedroom with two twin beds. If you feel like sleeping by a stone wood-burning fireplace claim the queen sized sleeper sofa in the living room. The open living room, with wide plank floors and wall of windows gives you a breathtaking view of the Piedmont Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains. The view alone is reason enough to stay here. The kitchen is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, fit for a chef, with stained wood countertops, stainless-steel refrigerator, dishwasher, stove and plenty of cabinet space. Whether you feel like eating at the kitchen table inside, or sitting outside, you’ll be taking in the essence of Mother Nature.
This is the ideal setting if you feel like getting away from the hustle and bustle but still want to be close; Broadhead sits on top of a private mountain on over 100 acres of private land. A short hike or drive up from the house is a private overlook with breathtaking views of Charlottesville. If you want to spend some quality time in the country, breathe in clean mountain air or just go for a hike, then this might just be the perfect place.
**Please note that the last 1-1.5 miles of road to the property is not paved, it is gravel! The road is fairly winding.**

This home is bright and beautiful and just a short walk up the trail, is a clearing that has an amazing view that demands a little time and attention from your camera. Loved our stay!
It's close enough to get to all the UVA events, but remote so you feel like you're getting away. Place is very clean and well appointed.

Can't wait to go back!
Modern, large, super clean, and remote enough to disconnect and recharge. We loved every minute of our stay and cannot wait to find another opportunity to go back!

We are so happy that you enjoyed Broadhead, Betina! We look forward to having you stay with us again soon!
We absolutely loved our stay! The rental was clean & the views were beautiful. The privacy was amazing and we had everything we needed. The driving directions were spot on, so definitely pay attention to them and not your gps! I would totally recommend staying here & we will probably stay again!
We loved our stay at Broadhead Mountain Retreat. The kitchen and baths are well stocked to ensure a comfortable, relaxing stay. The view from the mountaintop is amazing! Can't wait to go back.
Such a unique, amazing stay. We are so happy we found this property for an early Thanksgiving getaway in Charlottesville to visit our family. The kitchen was stocked with enough pots and pans and appliances that it was perfect for making a full Thanksgiving meal. We loved it!
What a beautiful place! The interior is spotless clean and modern with great amenities. The view is so beautiful and the setting is quiet and peaceful. We loved sitting on the porch just taking it in. Thank you for a great stay!
This was our first VRBO stay and we were unsure what to expect. Everything was absolutely wonderful! Communication and information about check-in was easy, the property was clean and the location was gorgeous. We are a family of 5 and it was perfect for us!
The house is beautifully designed. Wonderful kitchen, beautiful fireplace, and so many windows to take in the stunning views! We really enjoyed spending our time on the fantastic deck.
Wonderful retreat up on a mountaintop. Secluded, nice paths to walk around the mountain. A very nice spot. Spartan but that merely enhances the views you get from the main room. Would stay again.
The views are amazing and we loved having time away together as a family. Cottage has all you might need, but a good idea to bring provisions since it takes longer to get to than you might expect.
Fantastic property for the location alone, sweeping views of the valley. It is not 15 minutes to Charlottesville, it’s 15 minutes down the road off the mountain to get to the road to Charlottesville, then another 15.
We had the best weekend. My only concern is the road condition getting there. We got a flat tire from a rock on the hill and ended up stranded at the house. Thank goodness it was stocked with everything g we needed for a great day.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Broadhead Mountain! The kitchen has everything you could possibly need! The house is surrounded on all sides by trees, with the closest house being at least a half mile away. If you are looking to get away from it all, this is the place to be. It was so quiet and peaceful. We would definitely go back again!
