About this house rental

Nestled down a half mile gravel road you will find a peaceful serene home surrounded by the great outdoors without another house in sight. Conveniently located only 6.8 miles from downtown Charlottesville this charming 3 BR / 3.5 Bath country retreat comes with all the amenities of modern life. There are four wineries within 6.5 miles of the house as well as historic sites such as Monticello & Ash Lawn which are each about 5 minutes away. The house is bright and airy, features all hardwood flooring throughout, a large kitchen, screened in porch and separate outdoor seating area by a babbling fish/frog pond. Below the house is a fire pit surrounded by 8 Adirondack chairs as well as directly accessible walking and horse trails through bordering land which is under conservation easement.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The master is very spacious and bright with a king bed, large, padded headboard and its own full bathroom and tub. The second bedroom features a queen bed and is very bright and airy surrounded by windows . The third bedroom features two twins and both of these bedrooms share a full bath which features fully tiled and glass enclosed shower. Finally, in the walk out basement there full size pull out sofa bed, gaming/poker table, TV, dart board and complete with its own full bathroom with glass enclosed tiled shower. All bathrooms are supplied with salon grade shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, towels and washcloths.
On the main floor there is a TV/sitting room with a large bay window looking over the yard to the woods. Also in the room is a piano and wood burning fireplace with two cozy wingback chairs.
The kitchen is bright and large and well equipped with a large sink, dishwasher, disposal, gas range and an assortment of high quality cookware/knives. For coffee lovers there is Keurig Machine (bring your own k-cups) or a 12 cup Cuisinart percolator. Also provided are a large variety of spices and basic cooking necessities such as sugar, flour, salt, pepper, cooking oils, vinegars, etc. The kitchen has its own breakfast seating area or you can wander out the back door and relax in the screened in porch. The dining room, visible from the kitchen, comfortably seats six, although you could squeeze eight.

Much of the nearby land behind the house is all under conservation easement and you may enjoy taking one of the many walking/horse trails which are quite extensive. There is a full vegetable garden and small orchard on property which I maintain. You can relax in the outdoor seating area by the fish pond to the sounds of babbling water in the background or lounge in comfortable Adirondack chairs under the tall surrounding oak trees while enjoying the fire pit. This is truly a ‘get away’ retreat and you will leave feeling relaxed and recharged!

Check in time is 4pm and checkout is 12 noon, although special arrangements can be made if the schedule allows for it.

We highly recommend this home. It is clean; well- maintained; the kitchen is sufficiently equipped for cooking; and the location is far enough away to be peaceful, yet close enough to still enjoy Charlottesville, UVA, wineries, etc... James is a great host we found him to be very attentive to any questions that we had.

Driving the roads to this home and seeing it surrounded by this beautifully landscaped property-I felt as though I was returning home to the lodge. We were charmed by the back screened in deck with the ceiling fan and spent most of our free time there. The homestead was a short drive to all things Charlottesville--historical, shopping, vitaculture, enology, educational excellence--it's all within reach. James has multiple up to date pamphlets about the area. James was so patient and kind with us as and very accommodating as we recovered from some illnesses as well as jet lag (two guests had just flown in from Europe. The rooms were generous sizes and very comfortable beds. The kitchen was immaculate and plenty of high-quality cooking pans. Loved the Lodge cast iron and it fit perfectly with the house. We will be back!

The stay was just what we needed. The location is excellent and the house and grounds are wonderful. It is a very relaxing space and the outdoor space is used well and very thoughtfully designed. A great find!

Enjoyed our weekend away in the house. It was a great fit for our family trip. Beds were comfortable, house was clean and well equipped. Communication with host was great. It was fun to walk around on some of the trails the backed up to the property. The house was close to a ton of wineries (visit Keswick, Merrie Hill and/or Trump winery: all were great!). I was a little unimpressed with the town of Charlottesville (lots of homeless) but enjoyed eating out at The Whiskey Jar in town. Id definitely go back to Charlottesville!
