Our stay at this location was very Comfortable studio and bed; nice decor. Communication with host was excellent. Convenient to Charlottesville and several vineyards.Would recommend and would stay again.
It was a very cozy stay, the sleeping couch also served us well :) The cooking equipment was a but sparse but definetly more than enough for cooking some pasta and eggs ;)
We really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment was pleasant and cozy with a comfortable bed and small but well equipped kitchen, and it's in a beautiful location. We would certainly stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay! Host was proactive in making sure we safely arrived and navigated us around inclement weather. Loft was clean and spacious, perfectly located between the wineries we love to visit.
Great spot for a solo trip or couples get away in Charlottesville. Relaxing surroundings, perfect for when you are planning to be out and about during your trip and want a comfortable, low key, quiet home base.
The home was nestled in a quiet rural area, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. My family and I stayed for the night and found the place to be charming, clean, and surprisingly spacious. It was a wonderful retreat, perfect for a restful getaway.
My partner & I had an awesome one night stay, & can’t wait to come back. Close to our favorite breweries, wineries, & restaurants. Quiet & tucked away. So quiet in the studio too! Great stay, fresh eggs are a plus. Can’t wait to come back.
This studio is so cute and perfect for a Fall weekend getaway trip to Charlottesville! It is conveniently located from downtown, breweries, Carter mountain, and other attractions. Host is super responsive too and place is well stocked with everything you need for a night or two. I strongly recommend!
The room is just as pictured and was clean, had a comfortable bed, 7 farm fresh eggs, plenty of pans and plates. Unfortunately, the shower pressure was weak, and there was no place to hang clothes, but we made do with both issues! The hosts were responsive and it was easy to check in.

Hi there - someone had previously broken the shower head and we were not aware. It has been fixed now!
We enjoyed our weekend stay here. Hosts have provided many thoughtful extras and we were closer to activities than we expected. We loved the greetings from the roosters! Our host was very responsive to any questions.
Everything was great… Mary was available and very friendly… We enjoyed her apartment very much.
