We totally enjoyed staying here. The pool is such a plus and we wnjoyed every minute here. There is a really nice Blackstone to cook on. We did breakfast and dinner on it. The propane tank was full and ready to go. The pool was super clean. On our weekend stay we drove an hour to st marys falls trail and did the 4.50 mile hike an in and out to see such a beautiful waterfall and crossed the stream 4/5 times with swimming holes. Such a sight to see. Very clean and well maintained trail. Its my 2nd time hiking this trail and would recommend it to anyone looking for something to do. Bring a towel and shoes to get wet in.
It was an older home, with rustic modifications. Fully functional. Main bedroom was comfortable, old furniture. The spare room had 2 very hard twin mattresses. The TV room had very uncomfortable chairs and futon to watch TV. The sitting room was more comfortable. Landlord was right next door, shared pool.
We greatly enjoyed our stay! It was located near the areas we planned to visit. Owner was friendly, and the pool was great! The listing was accurate, too!
We had a wonderful girls weekend at this sweet cottage. Felt just like visiting your grandmotherâs house. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Access to the pool was easy. Our host was lovely. She checked in on us when we arrived and the morning we left. Great little place to escape to for a weekend.
We wanted a private pool and the pool was amazing. It was however actually attached to the house next door which is the owners so it was not as private as weâd hoped. She was definitely out and about but tried to give privacy when youâre in the pool. She did come all the way up to the house we were staying in a couple times for different reasons so again I didnât feel very private. Think she was trying to watch her property and be helpful.
The grill is not useable. Itâs not a grill itâs a griddle and itâs all rusted so we didnât have a July 4th BBQ like we planned when we booked.
The bed is not a queen itâs a double.
Otherwise everything was as described and the Ac works great! Kitchen well stocked with tools.
Just as described. Diana was great. Pool was awesome. House had just what we needed. You are literally minutes away from just about anything you need. We will definitely come back
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!
This house was exactly what we needed for this trip. Ample cozy space to spread out, a well maintained pool, a stocked kitchen for cooking, and many memories made.
Diana is a great host!
We had a great stay at the cottage. We really enjoyed the pool. Diana was quick to respond to questions we had. It was a relaxing weekend with friends!
We had a very nice stay here at the cottage. Very cozy and quiet and within 30 min to Charlottesville. Host was very nice! Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet vacation. Clean and comfy stay.
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 arenât planning a lot of trips in and out itâs 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.
We were in the area for a wedding at Avon Hill Lodge. Diana was great communicating with us. Itâs a nice space that met all our needs. We were very happy with our stay.
