Perfect gettaway

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.

Good weekend getaway.

Quiet neighborhood, not far from Charlottesville. Lots to do in the area. Thankful host provided games as I forgot to bring some! Master only a double bed, which was a bit uncomfortable, and only 1 bathroom but okay for a weekend getaway. Very reasonably priced.

Cozy cottage

Great experience with home, renter and location. Older home with no frills but perfect for a quiet family get away. We had a dog and crawling baby that felt safe, comfortable, and at home. The pool was the icing on the cake! Open in September for us, clean, beautiful and perfect! Lastly, the location to beautiful wineries is ideal- 20min drives to many great ones! Highly recommend this for your family stay! The master bed is a bit small…so plan to get close with your spouse!

Great getaway with perfect Pool

Met best friend for a little post-covid getaway and was trying to find a spot between her and I with a pool. House had everything you could need. Pool was so great to hang out in and swim laps. Make sure you stop in Charlottesville or Lynchburg for groceries - then you don't need to drive 20 minutes or more there and back. We saw a family of deer, with 2 cute little fawns. Nothing bad to say. Thanks Diana.

I am not a fan of gas stoves--the kitchen stove had directions for lighting the pilot light and then the burners but we decided to just make do with the microwave instead.

Amazing pool

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 we’d hoped. She was definitely out and about but tried to give privacy when you’re 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 didn’t feel very private. Think she was trying to watch her property and be helpful. The grill is not useable. It’s not a grill it’s a griddle and it’s all rusted so we didn’t have a July 4th BBQ like we planned when we booked. The bed is not a queen it’s a double. Otherwise everything was as described and the Ac works great! Kitchen well stocked with tools.

Quiet wooded area. Off the beaten path.

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 left a day early as it was difficult to sleep with the smell in the house. House is semi clean, needs deep cleaning and de-cluttering.

Lovely weekend away

We had a wonderful girls weekend at this sweet cottage. Felt just like visiting your grandmother’s 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.

Just what was needed!

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!
