Beautiful place, very clean and quiet with all the amenities you would want
This house is in a great location near lots to do. It is clean and comfortable. Our pup appreciated that it was dog-friendly! We will definitely seek out this rental again if we return to the area.
We spent a few days visiting our son in Palmyra. The Blue Bird Cottage was perfect for all our needs. Very clean and everything we needed. Will be staying there again
The Bluebird Cottage is so cute and comfortable. They had everything we needed to have a wonderful time. And we enjoyed having our Yorkie with us, too.
This is our second time staying here and once again it did not disappoint. Very clean, well supplied, and a great location. We even had some entertainment this time...a bird nest in the front door wreath had newly hatched baby birds that we could watch through the door's window. Loved seeing and hearing them when momma would come for a feeding :) We will definitely be back!
This cottage worked out great for us. Location was perfect for our purposes. The cottage was very clean and comfortable.We did not participate in the winery experience but to enter a rating in order to submit this review.
We had stayed in Cottage B before and it was excellent.Cottage A is symmetrical.IT IS PEACEFUL, QUIET, AND WONDERFUL.What a clean, manicured, and fully-appointed residence.We were amazed at how many "little things" were in the house, especially the kitchen. The owners have obviously thought it through and tested staying there.Bravo!
The cabin was as described, clean and well stocked. Close to many wineries, Monticello, and James Madison House, as well as Charlottesville and UVA. We had a couple of questions for the owner and each were addressed promptly and satisfactorily. A great alternative to a hotel, quiet and comfortable. Would stay there again if visiting the area.
