Stonemont Farm Cottage in Keswick near Vineyards!

Newly renovated cottage in beautiful Keswick, Virginia nestled into the hillside of a historic 170-acre farm that was originally part of a land grant belonging to the father of the famed explorer Meriwether Lewis. This 3 bed/2 bath cottage provides an idyllic country retreat for your next Charlottesville getaway. In the heart of the Southwest mountain range, yet only 25 minutes from downtown Charlottesville, Stonemont Cottage is perfect for enjoying a relaxing weekend while being a short drive to nearby vineyards and cideries Barboursville Vineyards, Castle Hill Cider, Keswick Hall, Keswick Vineyards, Merrie Mill, and Southwest Mountains Vineyards.

The front door of the cottage welcomes you into a sitting room with a beautiful bay window and pull-out sofa bed. This upper level also features 2 bedrooms with Queen sized beds, a full bath, dining room, laundry, full kitchen, and access to a large balcony with views of the pond. The stairs off the kitchen will take you to the lower level that has a second large living room, designated work space, third Queen bedroom, full bath, pull-out sleeper sofa, second laundry, and second kitchen! Walk out the back door to enjoy exclusive access to the fishing pond, grill, fire pit, and lawn space. Each space has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and relaxation.

Ideally located within 13 miles of downtown Charlottesville, the University of Virginia, Keswick Hall, Gordonsville, Montpelier, and Monticello, this home is a perfect home base for a wedding weekend or getaway with family and friends. The back roads are a favorite for cyclists, and the Southwest Mountains' nearby hiking trails are renowned among birdwatchers.
The split arrangement of the cottage into an upper living space and downstairs suite, each with its own separate access but connected by stairs, makes it ideally suited for a family or group who wants to enjoy time together while having additional privacy.
Surrounded by trees and hillside, guests at the Cottage will enjoy privacy. However, Stonemont Farm Cabin is just around the bend. Larger groups can reserve both the Cottage and Cabin for an adjacent getaway (12 guests total). Please inquire for details on reserving both the Cottage and Cabin listed together under Stonemont Farm Retreat.

The Cottage recently underwent a complete renovation and feels brand new; however, it is still set in a rural landscape. Guests may encounter bits of nature seeking shelter indoors and will find comfort using the handheld vacuum to dispose of any insect intruders.
