About this house rental
Come to Sunnyside! A new 5 bedroom home with game room, hot tub, and space for 12 people on 4 acres on a private farm road. Just off the infamous Route 151, or "Brew Ridge Trail", you are RIGHT in the middle of the action: 7 minutes to 10 wineries / breweries, 5 minutes to the nearest family farm or golf course, 10 minutes to Skyline Drive with PLENTY of places to hike, and 25 minutes to skiing at Wintergreen.
You are surrounded by jaw-dropping mountain views/sunsets that surprise every guest.
------
Sunnyside is a picturesque mountain retreat nestled in the heart of Afton, VA. This inviting, family-friendly home promises a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, ensuring an unforgettable getaway for families and friends alike.
As you pull up the driveway at the end of a cul-de-sac you are greeted by the expansive front porch adorned with inviting rocking chairs, where you can unwind and soak in the surrounding landscape. As you enter the main living area, you'll be greeted by a spacious family room complete with a large sectional sofa, perfect for your group to plan or reminisce about your day in Nelson County.
The well-appointed kitchen features a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets stocked with all the essentials. Enjoy morning coffee in the breakfast nook overlooking the majestic mountains. For meals, gather in the proper dining room around the table with seating for eight (plus space for 5 more in the kitchen).
Venture outdoors to the elevated back deck through double sliding doors, where you can savor a drink at the table for four or grill dinner on the high-quality Weber gas grill.
Downstairs you will find a newly finished basement and walkout door to a 500 square foot patio with outdoor dining for 10, a hot tub, four adirondack chairs, and mountain views that will knock your socks off. The game room will provide hours of entertainment for kids and adults between a 9 foot shuffleboard table, Pop-A-Shot, Pac-Man arcade with 10 classic arcade games and Infinity game table with 50 classic board games.
Outside, the adventure continues with a picnic table, swings, and a large fire pit surrounded by eight Polywood Adirondack chairs, perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. Explore the expansive property with paths leading to a nearby creek, where little ones can explore, splash, and play to their hearts' content.
Stay connected with blazing-fast fiber Wifi (105 Mbps) accessible throughout the house, ideal for remote work or streaming entertainment.
When it's time to rest, retreat to one of the five thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, three of which are upstairs:
The primary bedroom boasts a luxurious king bed, walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with clean white marble finishes.
The second bedroom features a comfortable queen bed and a large walk-in closet.
The third bedroom, designed for kids or care-free adults, offers two white bunk beds and a small TV room.
Downstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms:
The fourth bedroom offers a queen bed, a private full bath with subway tile shower, and a cozy play nook for kids.
The fifth bedroom serves as a versatile space in the game room with a pull-out sofa bed (Full size) and comfortable accommodations.
Don't miss the opportunity to experience the magic of Sunnyside in Afton! Come stay with us and see why 200 5-star reviews can’t be wrong!
-------
You are staying on 4 acres of an old farm. Only 6 houses on the private road and you are at the end of the cul de sac. From the back deck there is not a house in site. And you TRULY are in the middle of everything in Afton.
-----
We bought the home in 2019 for our family of five because we love the area. There are so many things for families to do together, and adults to do on their own. We love the peach orchards, berry farms, hiking, driving Skyline Drive year-round (especially when the leaves change in Autumn), Wintergreen skiing in the Winter, and wide open spaces for kids to play free at the nearby parks, trails, and wide-open spaces at the breweries and wineries. When we go with just adults, we love the wineries... it's the Napa of the East Coast :)
This is a great house for family and friends. We ask that you are neighborly and treat the house and neighborhood as you would your own.
You are surrounded by jaw-dropping mountain views/sunsets that surprise every guest.

This is a lovely, clean, new house with nice amenities for kids and adults. We especially enjoyed the glowing sunsets behind the Blue Ridge Mountains followed by millions of fireflies putting on an encore performance a little bit later.

Excellent house for two families. We had all the space we needed and we really liked the location near all of the vineyards.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful property. The house was spotlessly clean and had just about everything we needed to be very comfortable. We were traveling with multiple kids under 4 years old and there was plenty of space and entertainment both within the house and on the sprawling property. The kids had so much fun exploring the property and the creek. There were even multiple things available we hadn't anticipated to make our stay easier, like toys for the kids, a baby gate, booster seat, and even a baby monitor. We will not hesitate to book this property again!

My husband and I, along with our two college aged sons, who each brought a guest and our dog enjoyed our 8 day vacation at Sunnyside. The house had all we needed and provided small extra touches that make a big difference, such as smores for the firepit, a Christmas tree (very nice touch-week before xmas) amongst other things! We enjoyed the breweries in the area, hiked a few days and the kids enjoyed snowboarding at Wintergreen. We all really enjoyed the infinity game board, and the basketball game downstairs. The hot tub was great in the evenings.
Our host, Kyle was extremely responsive, as there were a few things we reached out to him for. The area was quiet and we would definitely stay here again!

My husband was officiating a wedding in Staunton so we decided to make a long weekend of it. The house was the perfect size for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. We got breakfast every morning at the little market nearby and spent our days exploring Staunton and Charlottesville. My dogs and kids also enjoyed every inch of the expansive backyard. We lost a ball somewhere, maybe the next family will enjoy it. The house was fully stocked with essentials and we didn’t have to stop for provisions other than food which was very nice. We are already talking about coming back.

We had a great stay in this well appointed, new, clean home. Krystal and Kyle were clearly vested in making sure our visit was nothing short of great. We appreciated the ease of check in and the clear directions about the home. The kids loved the bunk bed room too! We can’t wait to return again soon.

This house is just as described; beautiful, quiet, well laid out, and easy to access. We needed a one night stay for a local family event, our dogs included. We hope to return and stay longer. It’s always a big plus to wake up and see a beautiful mountain right in front of you.

Full confirmation of all the previous reviews - super clean, open floor plan, fabulous views from multiple decks, and a great yard for the family to play in! A little bit of road noise can be heard on the weekends (when on the deck). The owners were very helpful with super quick responses to my questions (thank you!!). Highly recommended….

We rented this home while moving our oldest son in a home in Crozet. We had a full house, but it didn’t feel like it at all. We had plenty of room and beds! The home was SO CLEAN. (Very important to me!) Super quiet area and close to everything. We will definitely be back!

Rural and relaxing, yet close enough to enjoy Charlottesville activities. Plenty of good casual meals at the local breweries. We wish we'd had more time, next time we'll visit the wineries.

We had such an enjoyable long weekend at this property. Everything was as expected (which is always a relief, right?).
Plenty of breweries and wineries within minutes. Everything you could have needed was provided.
Thank you for a nice weekend!

This user friendly home is ideal for family get togethers. The open floor plan of the kitchen and family room are great for cooking and conversation. Large windows bring the outdoors in with plenty of light and beautiful views. We ended every night outside with a fire in the fire pit, chatting and looking up at the stars - it was a lovely getaway!
5.0
Property was in a great location off the winery/brewery trail. We heard a pack of dogs barking in the distance at night and a handful roosters crowing in the morning. It was a nice experience. House was clean.
Krystal was easy to communicate with.
Only thing to make future guests aware of is there is a nest doorbell camera.

This home is perfect for a family vacation. The owner made us feel so welcomed. She had a welcome basket, and had a book with nice suggestions regarding where to eat, breweries, vineyards and shopping. My grandchildren loved the swing, TV room that is set up off their bedroom, and looking at the horses up the road. The home is clean, new, and beautiful. Thank you Krystal. Maryann King

We picked this location for all the hiking and breweries close by and it did not disappoint. It’s perfectly located close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, local cideries, breweries, the lake at Wintergreen and many orchards and berry farms. The home is well appointed, very clean and spacious, and Krystle was a great host. She left a recommendation book, and a nice welcome basket with things to make s’mores, and there were plenty of games and toys available to keep the kids occupied. Thanks for a great stay.

The house is everything you see on line. Beautiful, modern, clean home in a picturesque setting. The town is very quiet but has great dining at local breweries nearby. Easy access to Shenandoah National Park and Charlottesville were added bonuses. And our girls loved the bunk beds! Highly recommend.

Our family of 5 (with 3 young kids) and my parents stayed in this home. It’s as advertised with lots of amenities, very clean, and a beautiful view. In addition to the DVD nook, the home has a pack n play, toys and books, and a strap on chair which was nice and convenient. We used the fire pit every night and the kids spent hours in the yard every day. This home was very comfortable - we would come again!!
