About this property
Wandering Bear’s Den Private Studio Near Crozet and Charlottesville
Wandering Bear’s Den is a private studio apartment located on the top floor of an auxiliary building on our property, offering a peaceful and comfortable stay with its own private entrance and self check-in. Ample parking is available just steps from the entrance.
The studio is thoughtfully designed and includes a top-of-the-line queen bed, a pull-out couch, a dedicated office nook, a full bathroom, and a small kitchen. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the space, along with Chromecast for streaming and entertainment.
The kitchen has a small refrigerator, convection oven and Keurig coffee maker, sink, stove, and microwave. All essentials are provided, including utensils, pots, cups, mugs, wine glasses, and bottle and can openers.
Set ½ mile off the main road, the wooded surroundings offer privacy and a relaxed atmosphere, while still being close to everything Central Virginia has to offer. The location is just 6 miles from Charlottesville and Crozet, with easy access to UVA (11 miles) and Downtown Charlottesville (13 miles). Many popular wineries, breweries, and attractions—including Star Hill Brewery, Blue Mountain Brewery, King Family Vineyards, Monticello, Carter Mountain, Afton Tunnel, and Chiles Orchard & Farmers Market—are within a 20-minute drive.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the studio provides convenient access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, and the Appalachian Trail.

About the host
Hosted by Mabby & Jack LaVoy
We are a local family that grew up in the countryside of Albemarle County. We are excited to be able to share a slice of our Homestead with others.
Why they chose this property
We are in the heart of Ivy, Virginia which is located near both Charlottesville and Crozet. We have easy access to numerous vineyards, breweries, restaurants, hiking trails and beautiful countryside with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
What makes this property unique
Fun Fact:
Wandering Bear Road was just our half-mile driveway but when we added the rental unit, we had to officially become a road and got to pick our name!
