This is a peaceful, rural property intended for relaxed group stays. While the home offers plenty of outdoor space, quiet hours are respected in the area. Wildlife sightings are common, and weather can vary seasonally — part of the charm of staying in the countryside.
Note on Country Living & Pest Control Our homes are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside, offering fresh air, mountain views, and peaceful surroundings. With this setting comes the occasional presence of local insects.
We maintain a quarterly professional pest-control program with additional treatments throughout the year. While this greatly reduces activity, it’s not possible to eliminate every bug entirely, especially during certain seasons.
Thank you for understanding that a few sightings are a natural part of staying in a rural area.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

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.
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,
