About this property
Close to town, the college and a beautiful serene surrounding
Outstanding privacy given its close proximity to downtown and UVA wise this beautiful ranch, 3 BR, 2 Bath house is all your large family needs for a wonderful stay in the lush Virginia countryside. Large living room for gatherings, piano, TV, internet for entertainment. A comfortable front deck and covered porch provide outdoor dinning opportunities or just time to view and relax among the deer, meditation pond and peaceful views of an endless meadow without close neighbors. As per popular request we have added a large BBQ, an outside firepit, basketball goal with balls and other outdoor activities including corn hole and a fantastic tree swing.
We have a three night minimum stay but would possibly consider two nights to previous renters or under special circumstances. Its a large property to be having folks only staying two nights. Please reach out if you would like to review.
We can support special events as long as the overnight guest count is not exceeded. Special events will require a bit more cleaning fee and a few basic rules to follow, please reach out to discuss.

The house was perfect. I enjoyed the location very much. It was secluded and quiet. Exactly the kind of get away place I was looking for and definitely plan on returning with the family again really soon.

About the host
Hosted by DJ Osborne
We are fighting to keep this property in the family - it has been for over 125 years part of a local family farm. It was once an apple orchard and many old trees still line the area. We do not want to sell the property after our folks passed so in order to keep it in the family as well as visit local friends and family when we can we turned it into a short term rental. We are not trying to get rich here or take business away from local hotels or others, we are offering something completely different and unique and original. Once you see the location you will understand. please help us pay the bills, taxes and insurance for this property so we can keep it in the family by booking a long weekend in the Virginia mountains
Why they chose this property
This house is our family house we grew up in, we cherish the location and area and want to keep the property so a short term rental might allow us to do that
What makes this property unique
No traffic, no pollution, no noise, gigantic yard, tons of parking, great for events, secluded private space, wildlife including many deer, rabbits, even bob cat with too many local birds to count. At one time we counted over a dozen Cardinals in one tree.
