Great place to stay. Very close to lots of vineyards, skyline drive, waynesboro, and so much more. Place had everything we needed for a good experience with a young toddler. The back porch was nice to sit on after a day out. Blue ridge tunnel was an awesome experience just down the street.

This property was spotless when we arrived. The living area and kitchen were spacious and comfortable, the bedrooms had plenty of room to spread out and there was reasonable space in the bathrooms. For one couple who was doing additional travel the laundry facility was appreciated. We also appreciated the heads up about getting in and out of the driveway. For two couples this was a first rate rental.

Great stay for our group of four, though the house could accommodate up to six guests comfortably.The home was very neat and clean, and we found the bedrooms to be a nice size with plenty of storage. 3 bathrooms was a nice plus. We also enjoyed the location, as it provided great access to local hiking, breweries, and wineries. While the yard was just okay and its proximity to the road might not be ideal for small children, we did not have any issues with traffic noise.You will not go wrong if you decide to book here! Enjoy!

Very clean and newly remodeled. Beds are comfortable. Super access to the 512 corridor of wineries, breweries, Blue ridge tunnel and the SNP. No great views at the house, but who needs it when you can go to all the places setup to enjoy hanging out and enjoying the Blue Ridge. Defintely plan to come back!!

Very satisfied with the property. Location was great - close to wineries, hiking, and Charlottesville was an easy 25 minute drive to the downtown mall. The property was clean and all aspects of the stay were very good. Would definitely rent again when in the area in the future.

A fun little getaway!

Really enjoyed our stay, the house was immaculate and in a great location! There was an issue with the septic but Kristina did a wonderful job communicating the issues with us and the problem was resolved quickly. Loved the Christmas decorations too, we celebrated a late Christmas with family so was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much again!

Weekend Adventure

Previously stayed in the Afton area but other property was booked. On a recommendation from a friend, decided to go with The Cottage. No regrets! Perfect choice for our group of 5 adults. It was just as expected. Super clean, well stocked, and the perfect location! It is in close proximity to multiple wineries, breweries and restaurants. We loved our stay and would return! We especially enjoyed the lovely kitchen and outdoor fire pit. The host is quick to respond and was super helpful with recommendations.

Good Proximity

Our family of four stayed here for a short trip to Shenandoah. It made for easy access to the park and was super close to Blue Ridge Tunnel that the kids enjoyed. Nearby brewery was also great. House was clean and beds were comfortable. The individual units in the upstairs bedrooms were great but the master didn't get much air flow and was warm even on the cooler nights, the large box fan helped some. Plenty of dishes and glasses and host provided dishwasher tablets and laundry detergent which was great. Would have appreciated some more basics in the kitchen though like salt and pepper and oil as the nearest grocery store isn't very close. Overall would recommend, just be sure to bring or buy all kitchen basics beforehand.

House was clean, nicely arranged and very spacious. The only issue we experienced was with the front door. Upon arriving the deadbolt which is controlled by a key pad unlocked however, the doorknob was also locked. We called the number listed on VRBO and received tje automatic VRBO line and was extremely unhelpful. I did locate a key box hidden in an area and was able to get the key with the same code provided to us. On our last night there we were again locked out for 15 minutes as the deadbolt would not respond from the key pad. We reached out put to the owner and the deadbolt finally accepted the codes after some time. The owner was responsive and called me very concerned and apologetic. I have no doubt they will resolve this issue. Great location nice home and we are grateful for the time together it gave us all.

This property is lovely. Spacious little cottage with a nice kitchen and amenities. Plenty of room for the four of use with an additional room with 2 twin beds. It was nice to find a 3-bedroom place with at least 2 queen beds and 2-1/2 baths. The good size kitchen was nicely appointed and we found all we needed to cook. We drove over to The Meating Place in Stuarts Draft, had 4 steaks cut and grilled out one night. The grill worked perfectly and the steaks were incredible. The outside firepit was so nice on the cool evenings with firewood supplied. We brought our own as we had a small amount we wanted to use and we brought starter logs which helped to get a fire started quickly. It was a beautiful weekend and the cottage was so much a part of that. I recommend a stay! Thank you, Kristina & Clay! You have a gem!

Overall we enjoyed the house very much -- super clean and updated. We were a party of 3 so used all 3 bedrooms. FYI--Queen bedroom upstairs has no bedside table or lamp and very bright overhead light which made it difficult to use in the evenings. We enjoyed the back deck and the fire pit area was attractive although we didn't get to use it.
