Unique Cypress cottage, close to Charlottesville with mountain views.

About this space
Welcome to The Ivy Rose Tea House in the heart of Ivy, located just 15 minutes to Charlottesville, Crozet and Route 151 (also known as Brewery Trail). This is a unique property located on 3 acres right along Route 250. The wrap around covered deck on 3 sides offer privacy, views and a relaxing place to enjoy a meal outside or morning coffee. This character rich home was built for the guest who wants a cozy experience in the country. Fully equipped kitchen. We would love to welcome you!

The space
We are new to being short term hosts but we used to run a bed and breakfast business a long time ago. My husband built The Ivy Rose Tea Hose as a contractor and we have had many people stay there for years long term. We are now happy to introduce the house for others to stay short term. The property is very private and perched on a hill above 250 and the pastures across the street. We live about 300 meters away so are on hand but would like to ensure your privacy and a pleasant stay. The kitchen is fully equipped. Towels, linens, bathroom toiletries, etc... everything is provided for a comfortable stay. Just bring you, your loved ones and your bags!

Guest access
The entire yard around The Ivy Rose Tea House is yours to use and roam. It has it's own private driveway to come and go as you please. Please do not drive past the house on the driveway as that connects to our personal property.

Other things to note*
*The railroad tracks are located right by the property. The train comes thru sometimes during the day and sometimes during the night. We love the train but it may not suite every guest. Please make sure you are okay with hearing a train come by the house before booking!

Toddler crib and high chair provided. Please bring your own crib sheet.

We had a great stay! My only comment would be that it would be nice to have blackout curtains in the bedrooms. But otherwise, this was a beautiful, clean home!

Perfect in every way. A rare instance where it was even better than the pictures (and those are pretty nice!). Great attention to detail, the check-in directions were very clear, and the place was lovely. Didn't feel like a rental at all. Will definitely be back

This cottage was the perfect place for a weekend getaway in the Charlottesville area! It has a nice secluded feel and yet is close to wineries, grocery stores, etc. We were not bothered at all by the train or cars on 250. The house itself is even more charming than in the pictures with carefully selected touches for a tea room vibe. It was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Mary was very responsive to questions and all instructions were very helpful. I would definitely love to return!
Beautiful design elements - these glass cabinets were great for helping you easily find kitchen items.
The porch which wraps around 2 sides was a relaxing place to hang out.
The water feature on the porch provided a pleasant background sound.

Spring visit

The Ivy Rose Cottage was very comfortable and creatively decorated. The kitchen is nicely supplied for cooking simple meals. The trains did not disturb us and were fun to watch, especially the Amtrak. Great pizza and local brewery in nearby Crozet plus an excellent Harris Teeter grocery. Highly recommend this location for anyone looking for an out-of-town stay.

Really enjoyed our stay at this unique property, it is very pretty cottage in a nice area. Stayed here with my wife and parents to attend a wedding in Crozet. Very close to Monticello and some very cool walking trails. The host were very responsive and accommodating.
