Summary: We had a wonderful stay in this Earlysville home. The house was large enough to accommodate our group of five and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck and in the screened in back porch. The location is perfect as it is close to downtown and UVA and only a short drive to wineries, nature trails and gorgeous views of the mountains. An added bonus were the delicious chocolate chip cookies baked by the home’s owner! We hope to be back!

Summary: Fantastic experience here. The home was equipped with •Pack n play•High chair •Plastic dinnerware •Laundry/dryer Which made traveling with babies a breeze. It was also all on one floor which eliminated the fear of babies falling down stairs. Property was immaculately clean. Owners left snacks and homemade cookies for us upon arrival which was an adorable touch. My only critique is that there was 1 shower. With 4 adults staying here, we had to establish a shower schedule which was fine just unexpected. The kids LOVED the tub though! Would definitely recommend and stay here in the future.

Summary: The house is in a great location (close to restaurants, shops, etc) and situated in a lovely peaceful and quiet area. My friends and I booked it for a weekend of crafting and sewing together and the open living room, dining and kitchen space was perfect. Would love to come back when it’s warmer to make good use of the back deck space!

Summary: we found the property clean, cozy, and inviting everything we needed was there other than our own groceries? We very much enjoyed the living space with the TV and the fireplace kitchen was well equipped. We thought it was decorated and such a warm and welcoming style. We will be back.

Summary: This place was even better than we expected from the pictures. The spaces were great and open to one another. We watched a movie in the living room, while family was playing games on the dining room table and making meals. We had the best time! We wanted to take advantage of the "Blessings of the Hounds", Luray Caverns, chopping down our Christmas Tree at Valley Star Farm, Charlottesville Mall, Monticello and all of the food options. It felt like we were in Charlottesville, but was on the right side of town to make the trip to Luray easy. The bedding was so comfortable, as was the furniture. Would definately stay again.
