Property is brand new and adorable. We loved the spacious kitchen and open layout. We enjoyed coffee on the porch each morning and watched the deer.

I loved everything about this house which is brand new and perfectly clean! It is so spacious and tastefully decorated. The front porch was great for sitting outside, relaxing and eating meals. The host has thought of everything you could possibly need and has the house so well stocked. It is in a very nice neighborhood and would highly recommend!

No bears sighted at Wandering Bear cottage. Large 2 bedroom cottage, looks new, in the deep woods near Ivy. The host was very responsive. The only issue we had was stink bugs in one of the bedrooms, which may have gotten in through an unlocked window that we discovered. Great location if you don’t have to do a lot of driving back & forth to Charlottesville (@20 minutes for us),

Several things were not what was expected. Most notably was ants all over the kitchen counters and sink. And very damp towels folded in the bathroom. The towels had clearly not been dried enough and were presented as if useable for morning showers. But we came to find them wet and smelly. We didn’t have time to dry them so we had to use what we could. Finally the beds were in terrible condition that sank into the middle of the- it was a very unpleasant night sleep.

We're sorry to hear your stay didn't meet your expectations. Because our home is in a rural setting, it's not uncommon for an occasional ant issue to arise during the warmer months. We had already placed ant traps near the window where they were entering, and the issue was resolved within a few days. Regarding the towels, all of our towels are brand new, freshly laundered, and prepared before each guest arrives. We've never received similar feedback, so we're surprised to hear this. Had you reached out during your stay, we would have happily brought fresh towels over immediately or addressed any other concerns. We truly want every guest to have a great experience, which is why we're always available during a stay to resolve issues as they arise. It's unfortunate that none of these concerns were brought to our attention while you were here, as each one could have been addressed quickly and easily.

Gorgeous, secluded location. Great place for some R&R. Close to Crozet and Charlottsville but also quiet and definitely off the beaten path. Cottage interior accommodations like new and cozy. Communication with host was quick and effective. Would stay again for future visits to VA! Thank you for a great stay!
