Weekend with Friends
The house is large, beautiful, and well maintained. It is located in a lovely neighborhood adjacent to a golf club. The concierge was friendly and very helpful. We used UberXL and had no problem with transportation at night. We sat in front of the fire one evening to talk and catch up and played cards another day in the game room. We had brunch at a great place downtown, dinner at a fun Italian restaurant and toured Monticello. All in all, it was a wonderful place for a getaway.

Perfect stay for our son’s wedding weekend!
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely home near Farmington Country Club for our son’s wedding weekend. The home was clean, spacious and comfortable for our family to stay with plenty of public spaces to gather together, but also provided enough privacy. All five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The property manager was helpful and responsive, providing us flexibility that we needed for the weekend. I highly recommend staying here and hope that we will return one day soon! Thank you!

Wonderful Stay Over UVA Graduation Weekend
My husband and I, and our entire extended family, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at By Far Cottage. From the excellent communication with the owners and property manager, to the extra details like the UVA flag and fragrant lily bouquets throughout the house, we couldn't have asked for more. The adult "kids" loved the outdoor firepit, and the gas grill and screened-in porch were ideal for a family graduation cookout. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Fantastic home for a large group!
We are a group of ten women who stayed in the home to celebrate my 50th birthday. I was looking for a space that would have plenty of beds and bathrooms to help everyone feel comfortable (especially because some of them were meeting for the first time), and the house did not disappoint! All of us commented about how comfortable the beds were and we took notes (and pictures) so we could have the same cozy experience at home. We had several spaces where we could all sit together and the kitchen had everything we needed (and more). We took full advantage of all of it! We were close to downtown, where we spent an afternoon wandering the shops, and to the wineries, which we toured on another day. Katie showed us around the house when we arrived and helped make sure we had everything we needed. The ladies have decided we need to return for my 60th, though we’d all like to come back sooner. Highly recommend! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had the best time!

Fabulous house for UVA graduation
We had a fabulous time staying at Mike’s beautiful home in Charlottesville over UVA’s graduation weekend. We enjoyed having meals with our family and friends in the big kitchen and hanging out in the many relaxing areas to just catch up and spend time together. The house was even better than the pictures- woukd highly recommend staying here!

Perfect weekend I'm CV
This house is really amazing and more than met our needs for a long-weekend anniversary celebration with friends. I only wish we could have stayed longer in order to enjoy the house more. We looked at a couple of rental properties on downtown Charlottesville but the location of this place really worked for us since it's a quick 10-minute drive to downtown for restaurants and only 15-30 minutes from the area's best wineries. Also right across the road from the Boar's Head Inn where we enjoyed dinner on Sunday evening at the Mill Room. Don't be afraid to try it if you have been disappointed in recent years with BH; restaurant and bar are refurbished. Everything we ordered and the service were excellent. Back to the house .... exceptionally clean, very well stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook in (we did one evening), lots of spacious lounging areas plus cool wine/bourbon room in the basement. Everyone in our group raved about the beds and linens. Comminication with the propert owner and manager was very good. We met with Katie, the house manager, upon arrival and she gave us a thorough tour and was very respectful and accommodating to our group. I was more than happy with this rental and would highly recommend it to any group of grownups wanting a quality stay in the Charlottesville area.

Comfortable, Convenient and Nice Amenities
This property was the perfect accommodation for our family gathering for a week ending with a wedding. The house is incredibly spacious with lots of amenities. For large families it has plenty of gathering places AND rooms to take refuge for some quiet time. Several family members had to work remote for part of the week and this property had plenty of rooms to make that work. The kitchen is a huge benefit for groups who like to cook. There is extra refrigerator capacity and a large dining area. Modern cooking accessories and plenty of counter/cooking prep areas. Outside porches, decks and fire pit were a hit as well. The billiards parlor was a nice distraction for the groom before the wedding. For people who like board games and cards, the "game room" was always busy. The primary advantage of this property is the location. It is central to almost everything in Charlottesville which makes access to UVA, historical downtown, shopping, restaurants and vineyards easy. The property manager was incredibly helpful and provided local intel to help us get whatever we needed.

Beautiful home, will visit again!
I may have read this in the comments before arriving, but the photos do not do the home justice - it is larger, more spacious, and more well appointed than it appears in the photos. The main floor living area was perfect for gathering all ten of our family. We were in town for our daughter's wedding, so we had the bridesmaids come over for hair and makeup, and my sons and I were perfectly happy in the very roomy downstairs. The well landscaped back yard was perfect for some pre-wedding photos. The five bedrooms are all very private with their own bathrooms and plenty of space, and the entire home was spotless when we arrived. Katie, the house manager, was warm and eager to make our visit comfortable - she added to the outstanding experience. We'd love to go back!

Great visit to Charlottesville
We had a wonderful time visiting. For many of us, it was a first visit to Charlottesville. The house was very accommodating for our large group. Everyone felt very comfortable and had their own space. The house is very well kept & fully stocked. Everything that we needed for in the kitchen, they had. Plenty of towels and blankets to go around. The property manager was very nice & gave us a tour at the start. Made for a very nice check in and an easy checkout. The owners were always quick to respond.

Love this house!!
This is the perfect house for a large group to gather and have fun. The owners have thought of everything one might need and then some. There is so much room for sleeping, entertaining, relaxing, playing and eating. Great flow in the home and wonderful porches to gather outside. The location is ideal...close to downtown Charlottesville, many wonderful restaurants , shopping, wineries and much more. And if you have a little too much fun, Uber has no problem picking up and taking to this location! The owners are very helpful as is the property manager. I would highly recommend this home and can't wait to go back!!! You will not regret booking this property!
