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.

Idyllic retreat

Cozy, charming, serene setting —15 minutes from Charlottesville but a world away. Nicely furnished with a well equipped kitchen in a cottage on the National Register of Historic places, c. 1800. The hosts were welcoming and communicative. I couldn’t have asked for more!

Loved this cottage

We were charmed by this cottage. It had everything we needed for four nights as we explored the region. Hosts were attentive and welcoming while giving us privacy. We wished we had booked for a week! Very comfortable, nice linens and towels, kitchen fully equipped. So nice to have coffee fixings supplied. Not much in walking distance but plenty of places to explore nearby.

Adorable cottage!

This was such a cute property! It's something just a little different from everything else and just what we were looking for. It is nicely decorated and it was also nice to have coffee supplies provided. (Thank you!) I loved that the pathway lights popped on when you approach them....which was also very helpful when we arrived after dark. The train went by a couple of times, but didn't bother us. I thought it was kind of neat. We were very close to quite a few wineries that were on our list to visit and we were able to go hiking nearby in Crozet. It was just a short trip into Charlottesville, which we took advantage of as well to check out some antique shops. Wish we could have stayed longer! ...and wish i could have visited the chickens more than once!
