About this house rental
Situated in Shenandoah Valley, this charming house for $345 per night is a great option for your next vacation. 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.

For coffee lovers there is Keurig Machine (bring your own k-cups) or a 12 cup Cuisinart percolator.

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!

This property was absolutely perfect! The location is spot-on with local wineries and downtown Charlottesville only a short drive away. We ate out only once because cooking in with the fully-equipped kitchen was wonderful. We took in the outdoors in the screened porch as well as the huge fire pit with 8 chairs! It is so scenic because of the vast acreage and it even has an old barn on site which makes it so authentic. Everyone slept great as the beds were cozy and warm. We played games at the kitchen table then gathered around the indoor real wood-burning fireplace for nightly cocktails. It was a perfect trip and we will be back!!! Thank you James for creating a very worth-it vacation spot!

Wife and I had a great stay! Everything was in order and certainly felt like a long overdue getaway from the hubbub of activity around the DC metro area. Grateful to James for opening up this home to us! We thoroughly loved the secluded location, yet close enough to restaurants and other entertainment in Charlottesville. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience at this home. It was very clean, inviting and comfortable! The house is charming with historical details yet updated with newer light fixtures and furnishings. There were 6 adults in our party and we all were very comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied and the layout made it easy for multiple people to work together. The area is quiet and yet convenient to Montecello and hiking trails. We highly recommend this home 😊!!

We recently spent a couple of nights ahead of Thanksgiving in this lovely home. Very clean, everything you need, and the screened-in porch overlooking the tree-lined hill in back is a bonus. We bundled up to have coffee there each morning. And the drive up from the main road is well maintained and provides a nice place to walk. All so peaceful. We will be back.

Attended my niece’s wedding at Eastwood Farm and Winery. House was easy to find and close to all our events in Charlottesville. Very roomy house with a great kitchen to fix meals. Rained so we didn’t get to use the fire pit but looked like a great place to spend an evening.

We are a group of 6 adults and this was our second stay. This is a perfectly sized house for 6 - 8 adults. The setting is beautiful. We love the fire pit (which was even upgraded since last time with a fire ring and lanterns), the screened deck, the pond, the surrounding woods, and the kitchen. Everything is lovely. Thank you for the warm welcome and we hope to stay here again next year!

Came for a girls weekend to celebrate my birthday and this house was the perfect match for us! Super spacious. Nice updated bathrooms. Kitchen had every pot/pan or seasoning needed for dinners. Very secluded/private which was nice. Not to far from local wineries. James has the ideal location!

Thank you James for hosting us at your property. We had a great time and especially enjoyed the back porch and the remote forest setting. So private but actually super close to all the best wineries which of course we visited!
The house was clean, comfortable and roomy enough for our party of 8 adults and one 6-month old. Although we didn’t make many meals there, the kitchen was very well stocked!
Thank you for the lovely bottle of wine too. We would definitely recommend this property to others!

This house was fabulous for our group of 5 ladies on our annual getaway. The setting was beautiful! The screened porch was perfect for morning coffee as well as evening beverages and conversation after dinner. The kitchen was well equipped and many extras not typically found in rental homes. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms well stocked. The trailhead right from the backyard was perfect for morning walks in the woods.
James, our host, was top notch! Lots of communication and detailed instructions were provided where needed.
We would definitely stay here again!

This was a perfect retreat for our family to be together for UVA graduation weekend. The property is beautiful, home is spacious and comfortable, well equipped for all our needs. We enjoyed Monticello and Carter Mountain Orchard just minutes from the home. James was always available to answer all our questions. Thank you!!

This was a wonderful place for us to stay for Mother's Day. We chose this property initially for it's closeness to Monticello and it's beautiful landscaping. We were not disappointed! The flowers in front and along the side of the parking area are a gorgeous greeting! There is a beautiful little pond on one side that looks magical with the lights on at night and a well arranged firepit (we wanted to make a fire, but didn't have the opportunity). The house is kept wonderfully clean and neat with a modern rustic feeling. The screened-in deck was perfect for relaxing in the middle of the day. The kitchen has a lot of room and counter space if you want to cook (we were only there for a couple days, so we decided to eat out a lot).
The three bedrooms on the top floor had wonderfully comfortable beds. There is also a pull out bed in the basement, but we didn't use that. James added things that made the experience feel like a fancy hotel: there were luggage racks in the bedroom, the towels in the bathroom were rolled up in a beautiful display, there were small electric plugs on the bedside tables for convenience, and a small note with a bottle of wine to greet us! I will absolutely recommend this place to others! We did have a toddler with us for this trip and were warned of the open barn that sits past the pond on the side of the property, and we had no issues. Our daughter loved seeing the beautiful planting garden and running around in the large grassy lawns. The only thing I would recommend to future renters is not something the owner can control: the road to the house is gravel and has some dips...I would just not recommend low to the ground vehicles.

We were in Charlottesville for a family wedding and could not have picked a better spot. The house is beautiful - comfortable and well stocked. The grounds are so serene and peaceful! Enjoyed a wonderful evening by the fire pit. I would love to return for another stay!

This was an amazing place for our family to gather for a friend’s wedding at a nearby farm. Plenty of room for the whole family to gather and lots of lovely spaces for hanging out! Super clean and well appointed. And the stars at night—heavenly!
Access info could have been given sooner, but overall, our stay was wonderful—exactly what we needed and expected!

The house was clean and comfortable (great water pressure!) and perfect for a last-minute family getaway. The property (which includes a large yard, woods, and a creek) was so much fun for our two kids to explore. We didn’t end up building a fire because of high winds, but next time we definitely will take advantage of the fire pit. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and particularly appreciated that there were so many bathrooms and hot water. We loved the location: it’s so close to several hikes, Carter Mountain Orchard, and many vineyards and breweries, while also being just a short ride to downtown/UVA and simultaneously also peaceful and isolated. Communication with the host was easy and straightforward. We look forward to returning soon.

This home and property are truly magical. We spent our days exploring trails behind the property, listening to the frogs chirp, and nights around the fire pit. Easy drive to numerous wineries, historical sites and downtown Cville. The house was spotlessly clean, well appointed and perfectly laid out. Beds were comfortable, everyone slept well and had the best time. We look forward to coming back!
