Bluebird Cottage B: Firepit, Patio, Games; Near Charlottesville, Wineries
You’ll enjoy the simple charms of this home for up to 4 guests conveniently located near Lake Monticello, Charlottesville, the Rivanna River, and wineries. Relax in peace in a quiet neighborhood. Enjoy your private patio with outdoor dining table. Play board games, cornhole, and horseshoes. Make memories around the firepit. You’ll have everything you need, including fully equipped kitchen, washer-dryer, electric fireplace, fast Wi-Fi, 2 smart TVs for streaming services w/antenna for local fare.
Step into the living room of Unit B, Bluebird Cottage, via convenient keyless entry and relax on the super-comfy memory-foam sofa and enjoy the cozy electric fireplace. Socialize or play provided board games in this spacious, airy room with ceiling fan and natural light streaming in.
Watch your favorite shows, movies, and sports on the 50" smart TV. Access popular streaming channels using your own log-ins and enjoy local channels via antenna.
Steps away, prep and cook your best culinary creations in the fully equipped kitchen with all the standard appliances – refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher – and a useful selection of small-kitchen appliances, including blender, hand-mixer, air-fryer, crockpot, and toaster. You’ll find a farmhouse sink and plenty of prep space on the countertops, along with all the cookware, bakeware, dishware, flatware, glassware, serving-ware, and utensils you need to prepare and serve your favorite meals. Enjoy the sunny kitchen window.
Grab your morning coffee from your choice of drip coffeemaker or Keurig coffeemaker, supplied with pods and a milk frother.
Dine at the dinette table for up to 4. Or dine al fresco on the patio at the umbrellaed table for 6.
Play a game of cornhole or horseshoes in the back yard (shared with Unit A).
Relax and sip a beverage on the front porch.
In the evening, laugh, tell, stories, and make memories around the shared firepit.
After a full day of exploring wineries and other attractions in the Palmyra area or just hanging out and relaxing at Bluebird Cottage, head for a restful night’s sleep in the bedroom with queen bed flanked by bedside tables with lamps. Exult in the comfort of the memory-foam mattress. Enjoy the bright pops of orange and unique headboard. A closet and luggage rack provide storage. You’ll love the convenience of the ensuite bathroom with tub/shower combo and all bathroom essentials.
The living-room sofa folds out into a full-size bed with memory-foam mattress to accommodate additional sleeping needs.
