Excellent House
We had a wonderful stay! The house is conveniently located near many popular wineries. We absolutely loved the house amenities, including the hot tub and fire pits. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with essentials.
Property was very clean and it felt like home for the couple days we were there. The hot tub was great except for the last night the temperature was a little cooler than would've liked. Inside the property was perfect and the outside was great, but trying to get rid of a peacock was a little bit difficult.Otherwise, I highly recommend this property

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad you found the home clean, comfortable, and welcoming during your stay, and that you were able to enjoy the hot tub and the property overall.
We do apologize that the hot tub temperature was a little cooler than expected on your last evening. We’ll be checking on that to make sure everything is heating properly for future guests.
And yes — the peacocks definitely like to make themselves part of the experience sometimes! They’re local to the area and can certainly be persistent visitors. We appreciate your patience and sense of humor with them.
Thanks again for staying with us. We’d love to host you again anytime!
This was a family gathering to celebrate a UVA graduation. We wanted to stay away from the craziness of Charlottesville. This house was perfect! Everyone in our party raved about how cute, comfy, well laid a house it is! Very well stocked - PLENTY of wine glasses! lol We hit 4 wineries and a brewery (2x) during our stay - all with/in a 5 mile radius! We would highly reccomend and would stay again - for longer - in the future!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that our home was the perfect setting for your UVA graduation celebration and that you were able to enjoy the peace and beauty of the area while still staying close to the festivities. It sounds like you made the most of your time with some fantastic stops at local wineries and breweries—there’s certainly no shortage nearby!
We’re so glad the house met your needs and that the wine glasses were put to good use! We'd absolutely love to host you again for a longer stay anytime you're back in the area.
Warm regards,
