The cottage was so cute, very roomy and the view was spectacular. The location was perfect for us to get to all of our planned activities including driving Skyline Drive and visiting Monticello and Highlands. We could not have asked for a better stay and host!

We had a wonderful time at this property! It was nice and quiet but still close to a lot of great vineyards and attractions. Ashley was a great host. Would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely cottage
We had a cozy couple of days in this cottage, even in the rain! We explored nearby wineries and came back to relax in the hot tub, which was the real treat. The place is immaculate, and has everything you need. Ashley is a pleasant and respectful host.

Great cottage!
Extremely clean and decorated very well. It was a short stay so didnt use the fire pit or hot tub, but the couch and bed were very comfortable. Great price compared to many places in Charlottsville. Would definitely stay again.
