Elk Mountain Overlook: Breathtaking Views

CelesteRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The cabin was lovely, comfortable, equipped with modern appliances, and it was easy to reach. 4 persons can stay comfortably, although we were only 2 occupants over the weekend. We could bring along our dog, who enjoyed running around in the garden. The view over the valley is absolutely spectacular. The balcony is large and one can sip a nice cup of coffee or an evening drink enjoying the view. The cabin is located about 30 mins. from Charlottesville and from other attractions, like Monticello. There are also plenty of breweries and wineries in the area, so you can make short excursions during the AM or PM and return to enjoy the rest of the time at the cabin.

Do Drop Inn - charming 2BR bungalow

BrianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I had a wonderful stay at Ann’s charming home in Charlottesville while attending a wedding. The house was perfect for our needs — cozy and homey. We especially appreciated the little touches, like the toiletries provided in case we forgot ours, and the fresh fruit Ann left for us — a very sweet gesture! Having access to laundry was a lifesaver during our trip, and the location was ideal — just a few minutes from UVA campus and nearby shops. The backyard was adorable and perfect for relaxing, having a beer, playing Scrabble, or enjoying lunch from a nearby shop. One highlight was how Ann went above and beyond when a package we had sent to the Airbnb got delayed and was delivered to the wrong address. Despite the shipping mishap, Ann kindly helped us by shipping the package back to the sender, truly saving the day! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thanks so much, Ann

Rustling Meadows Nest

ReedRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Very comfortable stay for a night after a concert. Sue was very easy to get in touch with. We did not get a chance to use the hot tub. The beds were very comfy. The location was a little difficult for our Uber driver to navigate, but otherwise everything was great.

pink cottage @ locust grange

KimberlyRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Eli’s Pink Cottage was a delightful place to stay! It’s absolutely charming and so interesting. We really enjoyed looking at all the art and creative touches. A lot of love and thought was put into this cottage! It also felt quite spacious and very comfortable with everything we needed. The location was perfect as we were attending a concert at the John Paul Jones arena which is only a mile away. Although we drove because of weather, it appeared to be easily walkable. Eli was so very accommodating and attentive; a wonderful host! We will definitely stay here again when we come to town. 5 stars all the way!

Shepherdess Cottage

JennaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great stay in Scottsville with the 2 of us and our 2 dogs. The property is gorgeous, especially during the sunrise with the sheep all gathered around in the field in front of the cottage, a truly relaxing and picturesque place. Coming from a city, this was a great way to spend a long weekend away from the noise, we loved visiting this part of the county and definitely want to come back. Short drive to breweries, wineries, and hiking trails up towards Shenandoah NP.

Shenandoah Stargazer with Sauna

BrandonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was an incredible Air BnB with amazing views. We took the drive up the mountain after it rained which made it a little slick in some spots but manageable in a truck. It's not a bad drive if you have experience driving up and down mountains. The cabin was secluded and made us feel like we were the only ones up there. Both the outside and inside were very well maintained and clean. The views from the deck were stunning and made waking up to see the sunrise worth it. We were provided recommendations for local wineries, breweries, and stores that were just as amazing as the cabin itself. Culin and Danielle really put it a lot of effort to make sure we took full advantage of things to do in the area. They even sent us directions on how to access a portion of the Appalachian Trail from the cabin. It was perfect for us and two Australian Shepherds. We will definitely be back!

Cheerful 2 bd bungalow with HOT TUB! Pet friendly!

SharonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our time in Waynesboro was comfortable, clean and calming. The decor had many great conversation pieces. We enjoyed the record player, maps in the kitchen, and the backyard oasis. The property is lovingly cared for. Wow, the hot tub was a highlight! We also appreciated the supplies provided such as detergent, coffee, and toiletries. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to stay here. Even the scenic drive from the north to the Waynesboro area was beautiful.

Cottage on the Knoll ~ Prvt Pool & Hot Tub OPEN

SimiRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Three couples wanted a central meeting place to spend some quality time catching up with each other. It was just the perfect place! We had a nice time talking in the hot tub, around the fire on the cozy porch, and in the exquisite pool. The goats added a nice touch to this country setting. The kitchen had all the cooking supplies we needed and more. We did a good bit of eating onsite so that was appreciated. We unfortunately didn’t use the pingpong table or other games but they were there to enjoy. There were plenty of towels and the new washer and dryer were great. It’s a great location to experience the many local wineries. Bobbi and Keith were excellent hosts, friendly and gave great suggestions of things to do. Everything about our stay was wonderful. We hope to return soon!

Ultimate cabin in the mountains

ShannonRating, 5 stars6 days ago
If you're looking for a whimsical, cozy place to spend a weekend (rain or shine) that is centrally located to thr Nelson 151 and Lovingston (which offers an ABC store and a Food Lion for last minute needs) this is the spot for you! We traveled with three humans and two dogs and found the cabin very comfortable and clean. This is one of the best-stocked Airbnb I have ever stayed at (and shootout to the previous guest who left the eggs--they were eggselent)! The beds were cozy and soft, the air units in the rooms were great for individual preferences. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit as well as the porch swing. For pup parents: there is mulch in the front and pebble rocks in the back. If you've got a particular pup who prefers grass for their business, there are small patches of grass available as well as extra leashes and stocked treats. All in all this was a wonderful stay even with our rainy weather!

THE PERFECT HIKING & WINERY COUNTRY RETREAT

PatriciaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This was our third visit and we have loved being there every time. We travel from Florida to Pennsylvania in the spring and fall and this is the only place we stay two overnights because it’s such a lovely place to be. Chris is as nice and welcoming as anyone could possibly be. Everything you need is there. The pool and hot tub are amazing. The gardens and bird life are like nowhere else. The Graves Mill Trail, about 25 minutes away is a beautiful place to hike. And Chris introduced us last year to old house Vineyards where you can have amazing brick oven pizza on Mondays. We will return again and again!

Adorable cottage steps from Grounds

DanielRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My family stayed at this cottage during our wedding at UVA. This place offers a secluded, quiet and picturesque hideout while still being a mere five minutes away from university grounds. The interior is cosy and well-equipped. Besides the front yard there is a very pleasant, private outside patio area too, filled with birdsong. The cottage is also close to Oakhurst Café, which is a convenient breakfast option. The hosts were helpful, responsive, and flexible, showing great hospitality.

Inn at the Woods: Updated Cabin w/Mountain Views

DanielRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is our second year in a row that we stayed here for our annual family retreat (me, my wife and adult children with their partners). We loved it the first time and it was every bit as good the second. The house is in a beautiful peaceful setting tucked away in the woods with a mountain view. We spent most of our time during the day out on the decks, which were very comfortable with plenty of seating, outdoor couches and tables. We also took advantage of the fire pit. The house is actually much larger in size than how it looks . There is a good-sized living room with huge couch and large TV. Everyone had private rooms, which were very clean and comfortable with excellent furnishings. The kitchen was fully supplied for our cooking needs. Whenever we had a question Breanna was very quick to respond. If you're looking for a true getaway, I highly recommend staying here.

The Loft at Minor Mill - Private loft apartment.

AnnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We are so grateful to have found this wonderful spot for our girls' trip! We were all from out-of-town and had an amazing time in Charlottesville. Linda's place was set on a stunning with chickens, horses, fruit trees, and more! If you're looking to escape from the city to a serene, agrarian location, look no further. The barn is one giant space (making it tricky if multiple are taking work calls at the same time, for example) and the perfect space for four people. The two beds in the loft are quite small so best for children or petite folks. The interior of the space was so well-decorated and comfortable.
