About this property

Wandering Bear’s Cottage Near Crozet & Charlottesville, 2 bedroom

Wandering Bear’s Cottage is a private, newly built 2-bedroom cottage located on the same wooded property as Wandering Bear’s Den, while offering its own larger separate space, parking, entrance, and privacy. Set ½ mile off the main road, the cottage provides a peaceful, comfortable retreat surrounded by nature.

The cottage is thoughtfully designed to accommodate families or small groups and includes two private bedrooms, a full bathroom, a comfortable living area, a laundry room, and a kitchen. The kitchen has a large dining table, a refrigerator, convection oven and Keurig coffee maker, sink, stove, and microwave. All essentials are provided, including utensils, pots, cups, mugs, wine glasses, and bottle and can openers. Ample parking is available, and guests enjoy private entry with self check-in.

High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the cottage, making it well suited for both short and extended stays.

The location mirrors that of Wandering Bear’s Den—just 6 miles from both Charlottesville and Crozet, with easy access to UVA (11 miles) and Downtown Charlottesville (13 miles). Many popular Central Virginia destinations are within a 20-minute drive, including Star Hill Brewery, Blue Mountain Brewery, King Family Vineyards, Monticello, Carter Mountain, Afton Tunnel, and Chiles Orchard & Farmers Market.

Outdoor lovers will appreciate convenient access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, and the Appalachian Trail.

Wandering Bear’s Cottage is ideal for families, two couples, or guests planning longer stays who want a quiet, wooded setting close to Charlottesville’s wineries, outdoor adventures, and cultural attractions.

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.
