    Our homes are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside, where occasional insects and wildlife are a natural part of the environment. We maintain a professional pest-control program with regular preventative treatments throughout the year. While this greatly reduces activity, it is not possible to eliminate every insect entirely in a rural setting, especially during certain seasons.

UVA Graduation

This was a family gathering to celebrate a UVA graduation. We wanted to stay away from the craziness of Charlottesville. This house was perfect! Everyone in our party raved about how cute, comfy, well laid a house it is! Very well stocked - PLENTY of wine glasses! lol We hit 4 wineries and a brewery (2x) during our stay - all with/in a 5 mile radius! We would highly reccomend and would stay again - for longer - in the future!
