About this property

Perfect getaway at foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with gorgeous views!

Unwind at this very special oasis, now with a hot tub! Stillhouse Creek Cottage has everything you need and more: large kitchen, dining nook, living room with queen sofa bed, and two bedrooms with queen and king beds. The space is designed for maximum comfort and ease, whether you are staying for three days or three weeks! The outdoor deck and hot tub provide gorgeous, private views of the grape vines, apple and peach trees--just like being in Europe! Lay in the hammock to stare up at the trees or enjoy lounging in the daybed for great bird-watching. See the stars at night from the hot tub. Use the fully appointed kitchen to grill out at night--choose to lay out your spread on a dining table on the deck, or one under the big sycamore tree. Then light a fire in the fire pit and roast marshmallows. Or hang out in the comfy living room that gets lots of light and has plenty of seating. Fall asleep in the spacious bedrooms with quality mattresses and bedding and plenty of closet room to unpack your things! There is hi-speed wifi, and a dining table with a view off the kitchen that can serve as your office if you're planning a working holiday. If you're not working, then when you're not just hanging out enjoying the view, head out and experience all that greater Charlottesville has to offer. We are on the wine trail, with many breweries, wineries and cideries in close proximity. Or you can take a 5 mins drive to the historic Batesville Market to watch some of our local music! And, although the space is quite private, I am only a 5 mins walk away and will be happy to answer any questions or address any needs that may arise, to make sure you have the best experience possible!

Amazing Location

We loved our stay at Stillhouse. Easy access to everything yet so far away. It was one of the most relaxing and laid back times we have had on vacation. The house is perfect for a couples or friend’s getaway. Don’t miss out.

Amazing & refreshing

The cottage was a perfect getaway! The cottage itself was so clean, perfectly decorated, and stocked with anything we could possibly need (soap, laundry detergent, pots/pans, towels, coffee...etc). We felt at home the moment we arrived. The grounds are beautiful and the outdoor space was very well-kept...we especially loved the hot tub! We couldn't recommend this cottage more - especially anyone looking for a refreshing getaway with friends/family. We hope to visit again :)

Adorable cabin in Afton

Our family was looking for an end of summer-celebrate some birthdays holiday. This little getaway in Afton was absolutely perfect. Most spectacular views out the back, lovely deck with comfy seating, hot tub, fire pits, hammocks, it has it all to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Very close to hiking spots as well as fabulous breweries in and around the area. Keep in mind there is no TV. We stacked up on books and enjoyed the lounge chairs out back when not out exploring the area. Jeanne was very communicative and gave us great ideas for areas to explore. We highly recommend Jeanne's cabin for a getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanne Ward

Host profile image
I've lived internationally for much of my adult life, but have loved settling into this beautiful part of central Virginia.

Why they chose this property

There is so much to offer here: beautiful views, peaceful and secluded surroundings, but very accessible to great food, wineries, breweries, a vibrant music scene, hiking, water sports, and many other things Charlottesville and greater Albemarle country have to offer.

What makes this property unique

This property is quaint and peaceful--with lovely views. It's a wonderful place to relax year-round. In the spring, enjoy the beautiful apple and peach blossoms blanketing the hills behind and beyond the cottage. In the summer, enjoy the lush green, birds, and frogs chirping in the pond. In the fall watch the leaves change across the Blue Ridge mountains. And in the winter (and year round), cozy into the hot tub at night to watch the stars. Every season is perfect here.
