This was a quiet, Southern Living style home— the kitchen was fully stocked, den had plenty of seating and the working fireplace was just right for a chilly night after the UVA game. The ultimate in hospitality was the homemade chocolate chip cookies that welcomed us upon arrival— what a treat! I would’ve loved to stay longer and will definitely return for another visit

This VRBO was an excellent place to stay for our vacation in Charlottesville, VA. The owners were so inviting and had our house completely set up for us. Organized, clean, well stocked, and impeccable decoration. Our check out was easy and fast. We would absolutely stay here again on our next visit.

Never talked to the host. I have stayed here before and think the property and furnishings have gone down a bit. For the price, this was disappointing.

Great location and space for weekend getaway

The house is in a great location (close to restaurants, shops, etc) and situated in a lovely peaceful and quiet area. My friends and I booked it for a weekend of crafting and sewing together and the open living room, dining and kitchen space was perfect. Would love to come back when it’s warmer to make good use of the back deck space!

We really enjoyed our stay! The home is beautifully decorated, spacious, and stocked with plenty of amenities that made our visit comfortable, convenient and felt like home. The host even left us homemade cookies—which we absolutely loved! It was such a sweet and personal touch. Everything felt clean and well-maintained overall, though we did notice multiple stains on the couches, which took away slightly from the otherwise clean feel. Just a heads up for future guests—there’s only one shower, so larger groups might want to plan accordingly or be aware of that in advance. That said, it was a lovely stay and we appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the home.

Peaceful

Lovely property-could use a new couch and king bed and sheets to be more comfortable, but it was sufficient for our needs. If seating had been more comfortable, we could have used it for time with the people we were visiting. Best feature is screened porch with very comfortable furniture! We loved this area! Owner is very nice.

Clean, comfortable, well kept and stocked. Hosts were very attentive and checked in several times during our stay. They provided portable lanterns after a power outage during a big Tstorm. Would return without hesitation...Thanks!

Great Weekend Stay

The house was great and enough space for our group of 6. The photos on the listing were very accurate and close to wineries for our weekend trip. While you are close to the owners you feel like you have complete privacy.
