Great location and beautiful large space

Incredibly beautiful neighborhood with striking houses and properties. Proximity to UVA and Charlottesville couldn’t be better. Property is a great size (we had 3 adults) and very nice! Loved the coffee options 😊 - single cups vs carafe. Communication with host was flawless.

Mini Anniversary Getaway

This property is absolutely stunning! Ann & Jim thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. The views of the sunrises were incredible! We were also lucky to have bunnies and deer visit us during our stay. The proximity to Monticello, walking trails, wineries, shopping and delicious restaurants was perfect for us. This all made our 15th anniversary so memorable! Thank you again! Maria & Ron

Quite the Gem!

My wife and I stayed at over thirty vrbo’s. This is the best one we’ve stayed in. The pictures do not do it justice. It is situated in a lovely neighborhood of homes on large lots surrounding a lake. It is just two minutes off the interstate but you feel like it’s in the country. The place was absolutely spotless. Bed, linens, and fixtures were top end. Close to everything in Charlottesville, yet peaceful and quiet. If I could give it 10 stars I would!
