Just what was needed!

Wanted a little time away with a private inground pool for my mother (who has mobility issues) to be able to access. The Cottage did not disappoint! Communication with Ms. Diana was perfect, getting in & settled was perfect. Location was just far enough to feel secluded, yet not desolate. The Cottage is an older home, but that does not mean insufficient. Everything works, there's games, movies and internet. We were there for the pool and enjoyed every minute in it! Ms. Diana was extremely accommodating with some unexpected extras we requested too! The ONLY thing out of anyone's control is the highway runs right behind the property, so you don't get that total peaceful, quiet of the country. That was a minor thing on a perfect weekend and the lightening bug show & wildlife made up for it! This is a great getaway spot that I would recommend to anyone of all ages, and we hope to return to again soon!

Over the Hill and Through The Woods!

The cost was very agreeable in comparison to places closer to Charlottesville. The pool was not open yet for the summer which was very dissapointing so check with the owner beforehand! But the house was quant and mostly clean! I did not love the location just because of how far into windy roads we had to travel from main roads, but as long as you aren’t planning a lot of trips in and out it’s a sweet little cottage to get cozy in! With all of that said, I am not sure it was for me but recommend to most! The owner was very sweet and friendly, and it felt nice to have her right next door.

Great getaway for a long weekend

Even though the property initially seemed remote in arrival, it was really not far from all of our planned stops over the weekend. The cottage was comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed the wineries and Walton Mountains. Our only regret was that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the pool!

Cozy cottage

Great experience with home, renter and location. Older home with no frills but perfect for a quiet family get away. We had a dog and crawling baby that felt safe, comfortable, and at home. The pool was the icing on the cake! Open in September for us, clean, beautiful and perfect! Lastly, the location to beautiful wineries is ideal- 20min drives to many great ones! Highly recommend this for your family stay! The master bed is a bit small…so plan to get close with your spouse!

Cozy Getaway

We enjoyed our stay as it was a great spot to unplug and reset with our daughter before heading back to school. The pool was fantastic and owner was very welcoming. Be prepared for older appliances and a tricky grill if you’re planning on cooking much during your stay. Acceptable level of cleanliness though not immaculate. We did a quick sweep and wipe down when we got in. Overall we were very happy with our stay and left feeling very relaxed and rested. Oh and the deer family visits in the evening were a great highlight!! **Ask owner before driving there about proper directions from Route to her actual address. Google maps has you cutting through a neighbor’s property with is listed as no trespassing** The owner, Diane, was no aware of this until I shared with her on out 4th night staying.

Wonderful country getaway!

This cottage was just what I needed to get away from the city. The property was well maintained, comfortable, quiet and well equipped. The host was very accommodating and friendly. The pool was very clean and a refreshing escape from the warm temps. I also enjoyed seeing the deer come in the yard to graze in the evenings and Charlottesville is just a short drive away if you want to go out and explore. Just a fabulous place to stay!

Quaint little home nestled in a beautifully wooded landscape. Well manicured property and pool! Very pleasant owner/caretaker. Private and out of the way. Well maintained home and amenities as well. Great WiFi connection, not great cellular service. (Though sometimes this is actually a perk!!!)
