About this house rental

The Recycled House is a unique structure in Charlottesville's lovely North Downtown neighborhood. It is constructed primarily from materials that have come from somewhere else and are getting a second life. It took over six years to collect the materials and use them in a thoughtful way. The house was designed as a guest house and a lot of effort has been put into building a place that's welcoming, interesting and fun! The materials give the place a lot of soul, the light from the 33 windows is fantastic and the location could not be better!

Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall is just 4 short blocks away giving you access to over 60 restaurants as well as movie theaters, concert venues, grocery stores and some great shopping--all within walking distance. The University of Virginia is less than 2 miles away and accessible by the free trolley service. Monticello is less than 5 miles away--about 10 minutes by car.

The Recycled House sleeps 6. There's a king-sized bed in the main bedroom. The upstairs loft has a sleeper sofa that sleeps two, and there's a queen-sized sofa sleeper downstairs in the living room. The sofa sleepers are very comfortable. All the linens are soft and the towels are fluffy. There's a half-bath downstairs and a full bath upstairs.

The kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Bosch appliances. There's a side porch, an upstairs deck outside with a tree house feel, and another deck off the kitchen in the back yard.

A washer/dryer is available off the upstairs bath.

Free wi-fi access is available.

The house is suitable for families with children. The staircase is a little steep, so you'll have to watch the little ones.

If you're searching for a really unique space in a great location, I welcome you to The Recycled House! For a sneak peak, check out the video at recycled.house.

The Recycled House has everything you will need for a visit to C'ville and is only steps from the historic downtown. Debra has included so many thoughtful touches and amenities. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, and in the evenings I watched deer and rabbits nibble the lawn while the fireflies danced. I appreciated having all the comforts of a home and great access to the best the city has to offer. I'll definitely be back.

My wife and I spent 4 nights at the fun, quirky Recycled House. Debra, our host, met us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour explaining all the recycled, reclaimed, refurbished and rescued pieces that made the home. The location of the house is great--walking distance to the downtown mall and many great restaurants and shops. Debra provided a list of recommended restaurants, several wine tours and information regarding UVA and Monticello. The house is only minutes drive from all of this. The house has a dedicated, off-street parking spot, a comfortable bed and a full kitchen if you decide against all the great restaurants. When we come back to Charlottesville, we will try to book this place first!

Lovely unique clean house! Easy to walk to downtown mall area and UVA. Short drive to other attractions. Debra is the most welcoming host! This was our 3rd stay and we’ve never had an issue -except running out of the delicious cookies she leaves for us!!

Incredible structure with a lot of repurposed items that kept us looking for new things the entire weekend! A lot of the items reminded me of my childhood and brought back a lot of great memories. Thank you Recycled House.
