My partner & I had an awesome one night stay, & can’t wait to come back. Close to our favorite breweries, wineries, & restaurants. Quiet & tucked away. So quiet in the studio too! Great stay, fresh eggs are a plus. Can’t wait to come back.

Remote, quiet stay 25 minutes away from UVA

The room is just as pictured and was clean, had a comfortable bed, 7 farm fresh eggs, plenty of pans and plates. Unfortunately, the shower pressure was weak, and there was no place to hang clothes, but we made do with both issues! The hosts were responsive and it was easy to check in.

We are in the heart of Ivy, Virginia which is located near both Charlottesville and Crozet. We have easy access to numerous vineyards, breweries, restaurants, hiking trails and beautiful countryside with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

What makes this property unique

Wandering Bear Road was just our half-mile driveway but when we added the rental unit, we had to officially become a road and got to pick our name!
