Hometract Cottage, Historic Property, UVA/Charlottesville/Ivy

Hometract Cottage is a historic one bedroom home (NRHP, circa 1800) centrally located 15 minutes or less from downtown Charlottesville, UVA, Crozet, Monticello, wineries and more. The cottage features ensuite bath, fully stocked kitchen, living/workspace with comfortable sleeper sofa, mature landscaping for privacy, and covered front porch. Hometract is a quiet 3-acre property with terraced garden views. Visit our chicken coop, relax in the hammock, or walk to the garden shop or Duner's restaurant.

Hometract is located in historic Ivy, a rural area characterized by mature forests and rolling hills. We have the privacy of a rural area with few neighbors but also easy access to I-64 & Rt. 250 putting Crozet, Ivy, Charlottesville, Monticello, Keswick, and more all within easy reach. We are walkable to the Ivy Corner Garden and Gift Shop, local favorite Duner's Restaurant, and the Wine & Country gift shop. Boars Head Resort is only 5 minutes down the road with its golf course, restaurants, spa, and music and events. The Foxfield Races are only 10 minutes away.

Road cyclists can enjoy the popular Dick Woods Taylor Gap route passing right past Hometract's entrance.

An Absolute Idyll

This is an overall lovely, serene, comfortable and yet practical. The cottage is very well-appointed and well-equipped. It was exactly the respite I needed.Juli, the host, was out of town, yet still communicated with me about my potential needs. I couldn't have asked for a better place or a better host.All that in a place that's only about a ten-minute drive west of town. i cannot recommend Home Tract highly enough.

Parents' weekend visit

This was the perfect place to stay for parents' weekend. It was a short drive to UVA campus. The beautiful living room and cozy kitchen enabled us to relax and visit in a comfortable environment. We loved the quiet, country setting and particularly enjoyed the view of the Milky Way at night and visiting with the hens during the day.

Juli's cottage was a great place to stay. Clean. Built in 1800. Living room and bedroom were nice. Can easily drive to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline drive. I would definitely recoomend it for a short stay.
