The cottage dates back to 1805, the property was once part of Monticelo and owned by Thomas Jefferson. It has been completely updated and modernized, combining the best of both worlds. There is a private lake (catch and release fishing), along with a 14 foot dingy for those qualified to operate it!
A "Jimmy Buffet Key West" 20 x 40 heated salt water pool complex with a PRIVATE HIIGH END JACUZZI FOR EACH COTTAGE a large grill with side burner, two large bars, pavilion, indoor/outdoor showers, bathroom/changing room, multiple outdoor games, two fire pit, two double hammocks and mountain/pasture views with complete privacy to enjoy the area. Most times it will be only you at the pool area. It is a working farm so there will be help around the farm to keep it well groomed for visitors.
Magical setting for watching wildlife like the bald eagles soaring down the river, multiple deer grazing in the fields, geese and ducks floating on the lake, or Great Blue Heron trying to catch lunch. Once on the farm you do not see any close neighbors (cottage is near main house, but situated to maximize privacy), unless you count looking up at the distant hillside to Monticello(see photo). The whistle or light rumbling of the distant train across the river can be heard on occasion. You can walk down to the rivers edge and sit on a large bolder watching the occasion kayakers floating down the river(or bring your own). James Monroe's home is only 10 minutes away, along with 14 wineries and 15 beer or cider breweries within 10 miles of the farm.

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay here! Absolutely beautiful property inside and out, perfect cozy spot, caught the snow which was beautiful! Only 15 minutes from town. We will definitely be back, and we loved the Alley Light suggestion from the owner which was incredible! All around it was a perfect stay, thank you!

Summary: Excellent location for our visit to Monticello and Charlottesville. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the foothills scenery - plus wildlife - was beautiful. The weather was a bit cool for the hot tub but the farm and pastures were exactly the respite for which we were planning. Our host, Steve, called to check in and offer recommendations. Great visit to Monticello, Jefferson Vineyards, the Highlands, Boars Head and Charlottesville.

Summary: My husband and I came up for a few days to just get away and we didnt know what to expect. Steve surpassed all of our expectations and we left feeling refreshed from our trip and made a new friend along the way! The hospitality was excellent and we loved being greeted by the farm mascot, Casey! We will be back. The farm has the most beautiful views, the hot tubs are a wonderful added bonus as well as all the amenities provided. Thank you again Steve for being such a wonderful host!!

Summary: My lifelong friend and I came for a girls weekend in October and this property did not disappoint!! It is an absolutely beautiful place; peaceful and quiet. There were two other groups of guests staying in the other two rentals, but they were all awesome. My only regret is that we weren't able to stay longer. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and just unwind for a bit. The fall foliage was absolutely stunning, there were deer roaming everywhere, and the American flag was proudly displayed in multiple spots. We loved this place so much that we plan to return next year!! 10 out of 10, highly recommend!

Summary: This is a hidden gem in a convenient location near a winery and historical attractions. Definitely for a nature lover! No frills or fuss-just a cool place with nice amenities. The Jefferson dwelling is not for tall people as the ceiling is low. The host is hospitable and the place is very clean.

Summary: Nice place but small. We were expecting a cottage not the attic. So not much space to lounge in.Luckily the weather was great so we spent most of our downtime out by the pool which is a gorgeous place to hang out!

Summary: What a lovely property. Quiet and rustic yet close to Monticello and Charlottesville. Easy to find. Everything was just as pictured and Steve and Casey were perfect hosts. The pool was refreshing after a hot day at Monticello and our own private hot tub overlooking the meadow was very relaxing. The suite was cool and VERY clean... a high priority for me. Thank you so much!
