Monticello and Winery Trip

The cabin was as described, clean and well stocked. Close to many wineries, Monticello, and James Madison House, as well as Charlottesville and UVA. We had a couple of questions for the owner and each were addressed promptly and satisfactorily. A great alternative to a hotel, quiet and comfortable. Would stay there again if visiting the area.

We enjoy this house very much. We have stayed in both units and I like A better than B but I don't know why. This property is less than 2 miles from our daughter so we will use it every time we come up to spend time with her, if we can. We will also use it any other time we are in the area.

I am an expert on the area. I look forward to helping my guests enjoy their stay. Whether it is to plan where they shall go during their getaway-fishing, swimming, hiking, winery's or brewery's, or just sitting around the campfire.

Why they chose this property

This property is close to all that Charlottesville has to offer, but yet off the beaten path. Across from Lake Monticello-a private lake community. Approximately 1.5 miles to the Rivanna River boat launch- kayak ,tube, canoe or fish. Pleasant grove for a walk or go to the swimming hole. Historic Palmyra. Close to the Monticello Wine trail, with Local brewerys, winerys a short drive from the Bluebird. Or if you just want to sit back around a campfire and look up at the gorgeous Virginia sky this place is for you.

What makes this property unique

Custom built home for the enjoyment of my guests. Close to shopping and the great outdoors. Full size kitchen and There is a free washer and dryer.
