Thanks so much for your review! We're so happy you had a lovely time. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
We had a family group for UVA graduation and this was a perfect spot. The neighborhood is quiet with easy access to the downtown mall. We really enjoyed the back courtyard which gave us room to spread out and enjoy watching birds and rabbits. The kitchen had everything we needed. I understand the property is now available only for long term rentals and it certainly has everything you would need for an extended stay.
Our group of 6 was very pleased with this property. It was very clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed for a long weekend in Charlottesville. Only a short (15 minute) walk to the downtown mall area, and located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. Private backyard with seating and a small fire pit. Would recommend for a family or group of friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We received information from the owner on the cottage ahead of our stay which was very helpful. The cottage was spacious, clean, very well equipped and described accurately on the website. The owner thoughtfully provided snacks and breakfast items for the start of our stay. We were able to reach her easily with a question we had and she was very responsive to a suggestion we made. The cottage is conveniently located in close proximity to the downtown mall and is in fact walking distance to the mall and so many good restaurants. We have already booked a second stay at Kelly Cottage in the new year.

Staying at Kelly Cottage for a month as Fall arrived was a wonderful experience! The setting is peaceful and beautiful, the neighborhood is historic and very close to downtown, and the house itself was perfect. The owner has done a remarkable job upgrading the house, keeping its original charm, but making it modern and comfortable. No detail has been overlooked! The bedding was classy and comfortable, the kitchen was chic yet practical, and the bathrooms were lovely as well as functional. We were cool when it was hot outside, and warm when the weather changed, with lovely outdoor options to enjoy. We felt at home, but even better, with no worries of our own. Thank you for this stay, and we highly recommend it to anyone else.

Beautifully decorated, quite and clean with extra touches made our yearly sisters vacation stress free and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with necessities and well as the bathrooms. There was plenty of space to gather together and plenty of room to have our own quiet space at night. The home is in a nice neighborhood and is within walking distance to downtown where there are several restaurants, a brewery, shops and historic sights. Not too far from several hiking areas, parks, kayaking, wineries and hot air balloon rides. The back yard has a nice seating area with a fire pit. A grill was not present but it appears like the house is continually being updated as the front porch looked like it may have been newly added on. I’m sure the owners would supply one if we would have requested as they were very responsive and accommodating.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 525 Kelly. The house was newly and thoughtfully renovated. The cabinets in the bathroom were deep and great for all our packed toiletries and cosmetics. There were unexpected snacks provided for us to enjoy. The kitchen and living room were nicely appointed. And, we enjoyed the nice beds and linens.
