Great place for an extended weekend!
We came down for a weekend away and were not disappointed! Close to many wineries and the downtown mall area. We had a great time and can't wait to visit again. Our host was amazing, very responsive, and maintains a great home for their visitors!

About the host

Host profile image
I have traveled around the world with the military. I always stayed in bed and breakfast's. I was so happy to be able to offer accommodation's that are like a home away from home for those traveling. I wanted my guests to feel relaxed in a comfortable and inviting home. I am a local licensed Realtor. I am an expert on the area. I would look forward to assisting my guests and their families with any real estate needs.

Why they chose this property

This property is close to all that Charlottesville has to offer, but yet off the beaten path. Across from Lake Monticello-a private lake community. Approximately 1.5 miles to the Rivanna River boat launch-kayak,tube, canoe or fish. Pleasant grove for a walk or go to the swimming hole. Historic Palmyra. Close to the Monticello Wine trail, with Local brewerys, winerys a short drive from the Bluebird. Or if you just want to sit back around a campfire and look up at the gorgeous Virginia sky this place is for you.

What makes this property unique

Front covered porch and rear patio space. Washer and dryer within the cottage.
