About this property

Downtown Mall Cottage just off Main St., breweries/wineries 10-30min drive

Location, Location, Location!! You have found it! You don't need a car for this one, 100 Feet to Main Street, 200 Feet to Downtown Mall, 700 Feet to UVA Campus and the UVA Medical Center. 200 Feet to Amtrak Station. Short Pleasant walk to John Paul Jones Arena, Scott Stadium and The Corner. We are also located very near the Zip Car Stop so leave your car at home and ride the train! But you don't have to leave the car, we have one dedicated off-street parking spot as well! Another option is the free Trolley.

2 Bedroom 1 1/2 Bath Modern House, probable the absolute best location for what I was looking for; a place to stay, close to everything, but still the privacy of a house! Prepare yourself, you won't want to leave...Its Awesome! We were looking for a condo to share with our VRBO friends and stumbled across this amazing little house. About 995 square feet and so comfortable.

Our home is located within walking distance of Charlottesville's most renowned local restaurants, including Mas Tapas, Tavola, and Lampo, The Local, and Junction (modern Mexican) among others. We are also a short walk to the famous Downtown Pedestrian Mall with wonderful local boutiques; live music at The Jefferson Theater or Sprint Pavilion (Downtown Amphitheatre); theater, comedy, or opera at The Paramount Theater and live arts; Violet Crown Cinema, delicious dining options, gelato, and the Charlottesville Visitor Center. Many of Charlottesville's most popular attractions (Monticello/Ashlawn) are no more than 5 miles away. The wine culture here has gained national acclaim and tasting rooms at local wineries such as Veritas, Barboursville, Pollack, White Hall, Keswick, Jefferson, Glass House along with the burgeoning brewery tours of places like Blue Mountain Brewery, Three Notch'd, Devils Backbone, Champion, and Wild Wolf are within a 10-30 minutes drive and make for memorable day-trips. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, the Rivanna Trail (located in Belmont, about 5 minutes away) and the Blue Ridge Mountains are right down the road as well and are easily visited to take in the stunning vistas.

A pet friendly home in a great location! We could easily walk to the downtown mall, to the corner or to grounds. We loved the space. One disclosure, there is not a lot of welcoming space to walk your dog for a quick trip outside, yoh have to walk down the street.

An Ideal Little Spot

My sister and I hubbed out of Charlottesville for three days as we traveled around Western VA visiting family. The cottage is quiet, in a safe little neighborhood a block from West Main St, where we found lots of great dining and shopping options. It was a perfect little base from which to explore the nearby mountains and countryside.

Magical Month

We were lucky to find this gem. The perfect location for all things Charlottesville. Owner was top notch to work with all booking and during stay inquiries were quickly and accurately answered. Plenty of space for a couple of two for a long stay. Every appliance needed was there and working well. An abundance of china, glasses, cooking ware and paper products were stocked. Friendly neighbors. Everything well kept in this cottage. Look forward to another stay here in the future.
