Beautiful location
We all had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed the beautiful grounds, the spectacular views and sunsets. We spent much of our time in the pool which is a real plus. The property manager/owner is very helpful and available when needed.

We loved the pool and the views from the property. We were questioning a few of the features of the house, including the fact that none of the doors fully shut or locked. Certainly a quirky place. All in all, met our needs for the long weekend.

Beautiful refuge, easy access, very smooth stay
A beautiful property, true to the photos. It feels very private and remote but is conveniently really close to Charlottesville and many other amenities. The house is spacious and spread out in such a way that many people can comfortably relax separately or together. The outdoor spaces are really the best part. The host is extremely kind, helpful, and attentive. She went out of her way to make sure our stay was excellent and was responsive throughout our experience. Would highly recommend!

Rustic country stay not far from Charlottesville
This was a wonderful stay for a girls' weekend full of wineries and relaxing. Gabriel is close by but gives you space, and the accommodations are cozy, airy, and rustic. The pool is a very nice touch and the grounds are breathtaking. Great place for a relaxing, beautiful weekend.

Expansive property convenient to the airport and the City.
Gabriel was a hoot - friendly, helpful, bent over backwards to make our stay a "10+" experience. We took advantage of the many venues throughout this extensive, immaculately-groomed and -maintained former horse farm. Sunset views from the hill-top barn, grilled out on the massive outside stone fireplace and enjoyed a warming fire that evening under the stars. A magical place with an attentive innkeeper who gets customer service!

Great Views and location for wine country (if you have a driver)
We loved the charm of the house and it had ample seating and space for gathering. Having a DD was great since we were planning on wine tasting during the day and we loved that there were plenty of returns close by for the evening.

Perfect Pool Getaway
We originally booked this place as a fun home base for a Charlottesville beer weekend, but had so much fun at the pool we spent most of the weekend outside in the pool. We also grilled every night, and we’re even able to try grilling pizza. Would definitely stay here again, we had a great time!

Overly accommodating stay
The property is absolutely beautiful with mountain views, a fire pit, and large pool. The house is perfect for folks who love an antiques, homey feel when away. The host was overly accommodating: giving us a tour upon arrival, frequently checking on our group, turning on lights when we were out, and even popping by in the night when the power shortly went out. Overall a welcoming stay.

A great location for exploring the area
We enjoyed our stay at this rental. It's a unique, quirky decorated (in a good way) property and we loved the peace and quiet while being able to get to Charlottesville easily. The pool motor wasn't working most of our stay, but the pool water was still safe but took a little more cleaning out with a net each morning. But we all loved swimming.

Everything it promised and more!
We were two families - total of 7 with three 20-year old "boys" in our group. This place was PERFECT. PLenty of beds/rooms for all to have their own space. Being 30 minutes from Skyline drive was perfect for us hikers - and we had the pool to come back to every day. We used the outdoor BBQ, the indoor kitchen (fully stocked) and just loved having these 35 acres to ourselves (complete with chicken coop, barn, and beautiful gardens). The owner, Gabriel, is available as needed and lives on the property but is completely unobtrusive. We really enjoyed our 10 days here in the middle of summer (GREAT A/C!).

Amazing location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The house had everything we needed- plenty of clean towels, comfy beds, and lots of space for our group of 6. We were blown away at the beautiful, scenic vista we were greeted with each day while lounging at the ultra private pool. Our host, Gabriel was kind and helpful and gave us great tips during our stay! We can’t wait to get back!

Friends 4th of July
Pulling up to the property we were in awe of how large and beautiful the property was. The map very easily picked up the location, as it is on a road that meets up with the main road (very convenient). Property owner was communicative over text for arrival time and was on the property to show us around and answer any questions on our arrival. The house is really awesome, really big and perfect for 4 couples or 8 people. The rooms are spacious. Kitchen has everything you need (Except for your own groceries) but there is so much stuff to use. We also used the firepit./grill everyday and it was so great. But we spent most of our time in the amazing pool. the pool is so much fun with great views. the property is manicured and gorgeous. we had a perfect vacation - nothing i could possibly complain about.

Lovely Cottage!
Our Hostess, Gabriel, is delightful and a very welcoming host. We were very comfortable and Gabriel brought us anything that we needed and could not find in the house. For example, one of us needed an iron and she brought it right over. It was delightful to be in a very calming space, geese in the front field, an outside fire pit and tons of books to browse.
