A cozy cottage getaway!

The cottage is super cute, cozy, and comfortable! The cottage had everything we needed, and was close to wineries, brewery, distillery, Shenandoah National Park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The bed was a comfortable memory foam mattress, and the whole place was clean! Would definitely recommend!!

Modern farmhouse

This modern farmhouse is a gem! In my opinion, it is located in the heart of all you could ask for in this region. Wineries, breweries, local restaurants and hiking trails are all within minutes drive or walk. We were greeted every morning with a beautiful view of the adjacent pasture ponies. The very clean and modern design was calming and inspiring during our time of decompression. The hosts were excellent and timely with any communication. We will be back!

Very relaxing

Was an absolutely great stay, accommodations were clean and wonderful. Very close to food and shopping. Close to road but yet country feeling. We saw horses, deer and other wildlife right from the back deck. We took our convertible corvette to cruise the Blue Ridge and skyline parkways. Would definitely go back!!!!

Girls trip was great!

The location was IDEAL for visiting wineries and breweries! In fact, there is a great brewery directly across the street! Waking up to the sound of traffic early in the morning was quickly forgotten thanks to the appearance of horses in the pasture behind the house. Our group had a lovely, relaxing long weekend and would recommend this property.

Spotless, charming condo

The host was lovey and the property was in excellent condition and spotlessly clean. It was well appointed. The yard is not as big as it looks in the photos, so did not accommodate our dogs exactly as we had hoped. The cabin is also very close to a busy road. But we had a great stay!

Perfect weekend

Fantastic property. We stayed over a long weekend to take our daughter tubing at Wintergreen. The location was perfect for getting out to Wintergreen and back with ease. Convenient access to several wineries and breweries as well. We were also close enough to make it to the Crozet tunnel, which was a perfect winter day hike. We will definitely be back! Christine checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed and her husband even came by with his tractor to make sure we were able to navigate the driveway after the snow.

Great location and gorgeous cottage!

My husband, our dog, and I stayed for a gorgeous fall week! The house is situated perfectly between Nellysford and Crozet with easy access to 64 when needed. We took a trip in to Charlottesville, Wintergreen, Crozet and Nellysford. We enjoyed the breweries and restaurants! The dog was welcome at any outdoor spots and there was ample space to run around the backyard as well as miles of trails to walk. Beautifully appointed cottage with super comfortable beds and an awesome view from the deck! Thanks for such a great stay!
