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.

So glad you found the cottage "convenient and quiet!" We love our close proximity to the downtown mall and campus. It is great you found it a "good value"--with all of this let me know how I can improve and make this a 5-star stay. Not sure where I went wrong! Best, Sarah
Fantastic home and stay in C'Ville. The home was as described. Very clean, rooms and beds were comfortable, great location with short walks to UVA and restaurants. Host was very responsive and provided great information. I would recommend this home and host unequivocally.

William, you had a weeklong stay over Thanksgiving, I’m so glad it went well! I know you said you would stay here again and I just want to say, I hope you get too. We would love to have you back. Kind regards, Sarah
The place is a charming and super well designed home located in a small cluster of equally charming homes forming a peaceful little village feel. Very thoughtfully designed with everything you need right where you need it. Two comfy bedrooms and a distinctly separate common space. We enjoyed the train traffic nearby. The train sound was noticeable only ince over 4 nights in the hours btwn 10 pm and 7 am. Location cant be beat. Great bakery and restaurants and coffee and shops and the mall and University all withon walking distance.
