Katie's place was very beautiful and peaceful. Perfect for a weekend getaway, but close enough to breweries and downtown Charlottesville to easily explore. She had a great selection of books to read as well. Just an FYI that I didn't notice in the description (my fault) is that the bed is a full size, which was not very restful for two people. Otherwise it was a great, relaxing weekend and I'm happy we stayed there! Thank you very much.

The pictures don't do this place justice. The views are gorgeous and the interior of the house is very cleansed updated. We have an awesome experience.

Our stay was great! The host was prompt in responding to messages and made us feel very welcome!

Katie's place was wonderful. Her home was secluded and tranquil with a clean minimalist layout. Her property is set back in a wooded area, close enough to see neighboring properties, but far enough away from them that all you can hear at night are the crickets. As we pulled into the driveway the first night, a deer sprinted across her front yard, which was a welcome reminder that we were out of the city and ready for relaxation. The house is situated between Charlottesville and Crozet, offering tons of stuff to do within a 10-20 minute drive. The area has plenty of breweries, wineries, hiking and great food & drink. If we visit the area again, we'd stay at Katie's place in a heartbeat!

Katie's place couldn't come more highly recommended. Perfect place for a trip to Charlottesville - location outside of town was beautiful and the commute into town was easy, 10-15 minutes to anywhere. We didn't get the chance to meet Katie but she was communicative and her place was fantastic. Both beds slept great, perfect for my friend and I, and you could even sleep more with her couch (oh man, that couch!). Her place was quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

Got the chance to stay at this gorgeous mountainside home for UVA graduation weekend and loved it. The spot is a bit removed from Charlottesville but still accessible by Uber in about 15-20 min, making it a perfect retreat outside of town.

Katie was a wonderful host. She was extremely communicative and generous. She gave us directions, wrote us a lovely welcome note with recommendations, and also let us use cooking items in her kitchen, which was much appreciated. The house itself is lovely - it was cozy and welcoming. We loved the gorgeous forest views. The bed was comfortable. The best part of this house was the natural light & views. I also loved the kitchen! The only slightly scary part about this house was getting up the steep driveway and a tough turnaround, but we managed. Location wise, this is about a 20 minute drive from the downtown C-ville mall, and about a 30 minute - 1 hour drive from lovely hikes, breweries, and wineries. I would definitely recommend this forest getaway.

Katie was a great host and communicator! The property was far up on a mountain where you had lots of privacy and peace. We enjoyed not having TV and spending time with each other from normal distractions. We would recommend this property if you are looking for a relaxing getaway! Close to wineries, breweries and country stores! Thank you again!

Jessica's house was a dream to stay in. It is close enough to Charlottesville to take a cab, but far enough away from the town to feel like you are on vacation from everything. We rented for a girls weekend, and spent most of our time just hanging out at the pool and hot tub. The house was clean, beds incredibly comfortable, and she was very accommodating. I would recommend this for almost any group!

Amazing experience! Not only is the house beautiful and located in a gorgeous neighborhood right outside of Charlottesville, the hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful. They had stocked the house with just about everything we could have possibly needed, including toothbrushes and toothpaste just in case we had forgotten. All of the bathrooms had shampoo and the fridge was stocked with water and a few essentials. Plus the hosts were incredibly responsive when we asked for recommendations. They really did go above and beyond! This is one of the best experiences we had ever had on Airbnb!

Jessica's house was lovely and the location was great. You feel like you are in the countryside but are only a short drive to town. It's also close to plenty of wineries so it's a good starting point for a wine tour. The pictures are very accurate and it was comfortable and spacious enough for 9 people to sleep happily.

Jessica was a great host and accurately described the property in all of her descriptions and communications beforehand. The property was exactly as described and even more. All of the guests in our group felt comfortable and there was more than enough space for 7 of us. Jessica was flexible, responsive, and kind. Being from DC, we would definitely like to return here again in another season and stay at Jessica's guest house. Highly recommend.

If you are coming to Charlottesville and don't mind a short drive to the center of town, you should book this place immediately! Everything was perfect! The house has everything you could need and ALL the beds are so comfortable...even the pull out sofa! The views from the pool area were out of this world and we woke up to deer in the back yard. Jessica was the best host I have had yet on Airbnb and went out of her way to make me and my group feel like we were at home. Do yourself the favor, stop looking and book this place now!

Great location and hosts - booking was easy and they were always quick to respond to questions. House was larger than expected and easily accommodated our family of four. The rooms were beautifully decorated but also child friendly which was an added bonus. Everything was very well maintained and clean, the also kitchen had the essentials. We didn't have great weather and therefore didn't venture out much, but it seemed close to several wineries and things downtown. Would book again for a family trip or girls weekend away.

Jessica's guest house is perfect for a weekend getaway near UVA. I stayed there with 3 other guests (two couples) and we enjoyed the outdoor space, specifically the hot tub and outdoor tables. The views from the back yard area are spectacular - and Jessica and her family were great hosts.

This is a really fabulous house to stay in if you're visiting Charlottesville for wineries or to be close to the university and historic downtown. We were within 20 minutes of everything we had planned to do for the weekend! The house is very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The host was in great contact with us, so we knew she was there if we needed or wanted anything. I highly recommend staying here. Our group was 6 adult women on a girls weekend trip and we stayed comfortably.

This house was located in a gorgeous neighborhood and it was truly immaculate. Easy drive into town to enjoy restaurants and shopping. Catherine made communicating an absolute breeze! She immediately responded to any questions we had and she gave excellent recommendations.

Gavin and Jessica were great hosts. The guest house was spacious, quiet, and had everything we needed. Gavin greeted us and showed us around the space, and was generous enough to let us pet the goats and watch him feed them. We would absolutely stay here again.

Gavin and Jessica were amazing hosts. Gavin has a great knowledge of the area and was even able to recommend places to eat and things to do. I would highly recommend their farmhouse retreat to anyone staying in the Charlottesville area and looking for a quiet romantic retreat. I hope to stay with them again in the future.

Gavin was an excellent host! His guest house was the perfect space for me and my boyfriend. We hiked old rag in the morning and it was great to have a quiet, relaxing space to go to that night. We picked up Crozet Pizza for dinner. His guest house is also very close to some breweries (ex Starr Hill) and vineyards (ex King family). We would definitely stay here again the next time we're in the area. Advice for future guest, bring your laptop if you want to watch a movie as there is wifi but no TV. Gavin was friendly and responded quickly to texts. The house was very clean and he provided coffee and bagels for the morning. A+

Gavin is an awesome guy! Very sweet and caring. His property is beautiful and the apartment itself is clean, simple, and safe. He was great about communicating and setting up an arrival time and the whole experience was a real pleasure. I wish hime the best of luck!

What a refreshing break from hotels! Gavin's place left us recharged and ready for our next day of travel. Don't even think twice just book it!

Gavin gave a great welcome and the place is well- kept, very clean and extremely cozy. It's a quiet, natural, peaceful place. We sat and watched the goats and chickens while we drank our morning coffee. A partial full moon and a star sparked night left us quite relaxed and content with our stay. Sweet view & convenient to Charlottesville and other Albemarle attractions.

The listing description ("Romantic Farmhouse Retreat") is spot-on. Gavin and Jessica's farmhouse is in the perfect location -- close to downtown Charlottesville (about 15 minutes), but secluded enough in the woods to truly feel like a getaway. Everything was as described and pictured, and Gavin and Jessica were wonderful hosts who clearly thought through all of the details. And, such a treat to wake up to goats and chickens -- the goats really do like snacking on raisins! Would happily stay here again in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at the farm. It's a beautiful property with lots of greenery and animal life. Gavin and Jessica are the ideal hosts: as available and hospitable as you could ever hope for while leaving you on your own to enjoy your vacation. We went in the summertime when it was nice and hot and inside the ac and fans they had were splendid. The guesthouse is really sound proof so we weren't woken up by the animals--although that would have been cool! There's lots of nice hiking and restaurants in the area- we recommend Sugar Hollow. We couldn't have asked for a nicer stay!

Jessica and John's home is perfect for a relaxing visit in the country just 5 minutes from Ivy and 20 minutes from Charlottesville. It is roomy and comfortable and was clean and welcoming when we arrived. We would love to stay here again when we're next in the area.

What a FAB home! Comfortable, clean, stylish and charming! We loved our stay! The icing on the cake: the hosts were wonderful - providing a super-useful house manual and "Welcome Basket" filled with treats and essentials. They even filled the home with fresh flowers. THANK YOU Jessica & John! Your home was a total home run for us!

If you are looking for a wonderful space that is suitable for a family or a girls retreat, Jessica and John's home is a must. You are only about 15 minutes from the heart of Charlottesville and minutes away from wineries. You can't go wrong with a stay there and to top it all off, the outdoor space is fantastic and secluded. Don't forget to close out the evening with an outdoor fire. Jessica and John, thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

My friends and I had an amazing experience staying at Jessica and john' house! the house was perfect for 5 best friends to relax, and enjoy each other's company. From the moment we walked in we felt at home. It was close to many wineries and breweries which makes it even better. My girlfriends and I are going to make it an annual trip and want to stay in this house each time. Thanks John and Jessica!

Great house just a short drive outside Charlottesville. Everything was clean and as described. Jessica and John have thought of every detail needed during our stay.

Country Lane was exactly as described and more. Prior to arrival John Was responsive to email and left me some great suggestions of things to do and places to eat. We especially loved Veritas Winery and Mas Tapas. The home was charming, clean, spacious, with a great outdoor living area. The property was well maintained and we saw deer-a family of a buck, three does and a fawn one evening. John and Jess had fresh flowers all around the house, left a welcome basket and a note and even left us a surprise in the fridge. I highly recommend staying at this adorable home and would do it again in a heartbeat if I'm ever in the area again!

We completely enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and well stocked. Everything was charming. And it served as a great base camp for our long weekend in Charlottesville.

Lovely, comfortable home in a peaceful setting. The owners provided all we needed, and we really enjoyed it!

Mireille is a most gracious & welcoming hostess. She welcomed me cheerfully & had a snack & hot tea waiting for me after my drive. Throughout my stay, she was attentive, while giving me my own space. She provided a delicious light breakfast each morning of my stay. Her "Blessed Nest" is like Mireille, cheery, welcoming and peaceful. There is plenty of natural light, open living space and beautiful colors throughout the home. The private room is a lovely, sizeable bedroom w/ a private bath & and screened in deck. The view from the deck is beautiful especially in autumn!

Yes, she made me feel very welcome. And the neighborhood was quiet and in the country. Very peaceful.

What a beautiful home and a lovely hostess! The house and surroundings are clean bright and peaceful. Perfect for a relaxing getaway. Also I really enjoyed my time with Micky. She is a warm and caring person and an exceptional hostess!

Our host made us feel very welcome. It was a pleasure interacting with her and sharing her wonderful home.

The host canceled this reservation 231 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A relaxing refreshing environment, wonderful for a retreat from busy life. The place is very comfortable and furniture's a decoration add to the sense of comfort. A great home away from home. The family is welcoming and easy to relate to. They have provided a beautiful refreshing place in their home for people who visit Charlottsville.

Awesome house. Toby was super helpful.

Toby and his family were wonderful, easygoing hosts with a beautiful and historic home. I felt at ease from start to finish, and had a wonderful time. He had some great suggestions for vineyards and jazz spots around town, too! This spot is quiet and more than charming enough to keep you close to the house, though great hiking trails, Shenandoah National Park, and Virginia's best vineyards and major historic sights are all a short drive away. Couldn't have asked for a lovelier trip to the Blue Ridge.

We had a delightful stay with Toby. He was a warm, hospitable and entertaining host. Our room was quaint, the bed comfy and the peacefulness was appreciated after a long drive. The history of the home, the ancient trees and pretty grounds were great. Having breakfast supplies at hand made our start the next day easy. A high recommend from us!

Off the beaten track but a lovely room and fantastic hosts with great advice about where to go and what to see.

We traveled to Charlottesville to see our daughter who is studying at UVa and Toby and Terri's place was perfect. Close enough to grounds, but in a lovely spot away from the hustle and bustle. Bed was comfy, room was quiet and spacious, bathrooms lovely and the coffee was great! Will definitely be back!

The space was very nice, enough room for the bed, end tables and a nice sitting area with a bay window. The hosts were very hospitable, giving me suggestions on local activities and referring me to a realtor. The home is located a mile down a smaller road, so it is very private and quiet. It's also very dark, so have some patience finding the house if you're coming in at night.

We really enjoyed staying at Maggie and John's. The suite was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed in the way of small amenities (towels, soap, etc). John and Maeve, their sweet dog, met us at the door (despite our rather late arrival) and showed us around the room. We enjoyed being able to come and go as we liked and the laid back, relaxed atmosphere of their home. We highly recommend choosing John and Maggie's for a Charlottesville stay and will look for them the next time we visit the area.

The room was as described. The fireplace was a nice extra, we didn't use it but it would certainly make a night there more cozy. The best part was meeting Maggie and John, it was like meeting old friends that you hadn't seen for a while. They really made us feel welcome and at home. We saw a couple of deer out of the window while we were having coffee. We would definitely go back if the opportunity arose.

"Cozy room" definitely describes it spot on! Our stay at John and Maggie's was absolutely perfect. Me and my friend were in Charlottesville for a weekend getaway and could not have chosen a more perfect place to stay. Maggie greeted us with grace and kindness and helped give us suggestions of where we should go for dinner that night and had muffins, fruit, and coffee waiting for us in the morning. Their helpful son, Jack, built us a wonderful fire in the fireplace in our room which we thoroughly enjoyed. I definitely hope to return and would HIGHLY recommend staying in the cozy room with a fireplace :)

Maggie and John were great hosts and super flexible for my last minute booking. Their place is convenient to Monticello, UVA, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive. I was beat and slept like a rock. I recommend arriving during daylight hours- this semi-rural setting gets dark at night! I found it no problem, though, as Maggie gave great directions. I wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

Accommodations were quaint, quiet, clean and homey. Maggie and John were excellent hosts.

John and Maggie are very friendly and accommodating. The room was great and the bed was super comfortable. I had a wonderful stay and would return anytime I am back in the area.

John and Maggie are lovely folks! Super helpful with directions, interesting to converse with, and generous with their home and their breakfast foods! The room is spacious and comfortable and filled with great books, and the 15-20-min drive into town is easy and pretty. I had a great experience. Thanks, John and Maggie!

Great place. Hosts were warm and welcoming. Excellent king sized bed and a super comfy sofa are the main attractions in this large room with private bath. Very clean but with character. Interesting book collection. Relaxing rural locale. Highly recommended.

The place looked exactly like the photos. It was clean and the bathroom was new. The space was quite large and comfortable. Kim was very generous, and I was given significant privacy. I definitely appreciated the A/C, the food in the fridge and the hospitality. Wonderful place and would definitely stay again and recommended highly!

The apartment is spacious, clean and everything you need is there. It's beautifully located in the woods. The bed is good. And Kim was very kind! You can hear the people walk and talk in the apartment above. (they are not shouting or anything, just day to day life activities is what you can hear a bit) All in all a good place to stay!

The house is in a very quiet and nice part of the area. The house is secluded and very peaceful. Her husband Zeke met us immediately upon arrival, then offered to help carry our belongings into into the house. He took the time and explained everything, including how to use certain appliances and how to contact; they even had bagels, milk, juice, and coffee upon arrival. The bed was firm and comfortable for us, the bathroom was spacious and very clean, the kitchen had everything one could need to include electric range, dish washer, toaster oven, pots and pans, and utensils--even the fridge had a magnet with all safety precautions including hospital contact info and fire extinguisher location. Overall the place was awesome and super-nice people and certainly the best place we've stayed at using Airbnb. Will advise others I know to stay there when visiting.

Awesome stay. Along with Kim meeting us as we pulled up, the place had everything you could want and more. Peaceful and beautiful. great place to relax and enjoy the area.

This was the best Airbnb experience yet! Kim was a wonderful host, and the setting is perfect -- great location for getting everywhere in and near Charlottesville and beautiful and peaceful and relaxing after a full day.

My husband and I stayed at Kim's house a couple weeks ago. Everything about the house was as advertised. The space was clean, spacious, and very welcoming. The big windows really let the sun shine in. We took advantage of the kitchen and made breakfast both mornings we stayed. Kim was nice enough to stock the refrigerator with milk, orange juice, and coffee. The house is about a 15 minute drive from Charlottesville and a pleasant 30 minute drive to the Shenandoah National Park. We hiked at the Park both days we stayed. Kim was gracious enough to let us stay late our last day because no guests were scheduled to stay that night. This worked out well since our hike took a little longer than expected. I would definitely recommend you stay here if you are visiting Charlottesville or making a trip to the National Park.

This is a great spot, very quiet, slept profoundly deep. It is 15 minutes from Charlottesville and Monticello is close by also. The "apartment" is quite spacious with all necessary amenities. Bed extremely comfortable as is the whole place and extremely clean. Great bathroom. We arrived later than we anticipated, about 11:30pm, for I took a wrong turn but hosts were very pleasant about it. They put themselves at our disposal but we really weren't missing anything. Kim and her husband had milk, bagels, OJ, coffee, fruit and other treats in apartment. They were a joy to deal with in our interactions. Would will definitely be going back to The Forest Haven!

This was my first AirBnB experience and I will say I am more than happy. Kim's house is a true Forest haven. Away from all the noise, beautifully located between the woods, I could not have found a better place a for a weekend getaway. Kim's place is also close to 6 wineries, the Skyline Drive and Shenandoah Park.

This was our first experience with airbnb. It was so easy to book. The home featured everything it offered. It was spacious and perfect for a family of three. We would highly recommend this guest house.

A lovely well-appointed, clean, fresh and comfortable apartment in a quiet country setting. Our hostess was warm and welcoming. We will definitely plan to stay again when visiting our family!

Our host set our 'first-timer" fears at ease with early and informative correspondence as to the location and features of their listing.

Just a delightful visit once again. Our hosts have created a quiet, gracious, comfortable setting where we are happy to call our home away from home while visiting our grandchildren in VA! Thank you, Suzanne!

The house was positioned in a very peaceful setting. We were a stones throw from Charlottesville and had dinner at the Public Oyster house and it was off the charts. We will definitely be back.

Stunning views! It took us about 25 minutes to get into downtown Charlottesville (to the east) and 25 minutes to reach Skyline Drive (to the west) making the cabin a great location for exploring all that the Charlottesville area has to offer. Hosts were lovely.

We loved our stay at Baileys Retreat Cabin. The views are breathtaking, the cabin is adorable and very comfortable. The hosts are there if you need anything but at the same time give you the privacy you want. We will for sure be returning to Baileys Cabin, but for a longer amount of time.

Bill was great and made us feel very welcome!

The cabin was great, comfortable, cozy and unique. There were dozens of deer roaming around (which the girlfriend loved) and the sunrise with the mountains in the background was amazing. Thank you for a great experience!

What a perfect getaway! Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. The cabin was great and was filled with everything we needed.

We came down from DC for a few days and had a great time. The cabin is small and cozy with a gas fire and outdoor fire pit. The kitchen is suitable for pretty much anything you'd like to make. The hosts are incredibly nice! The view is what makes this place exceptional. Also it's not too far from Charlottesville (25 minutes drive). Highly recommend

This was a fantastic spot in a wonderful location. The cabin is cozy and rustic - if you are looking for a back to nature experience without roughing it - this fits the bill. The hosts were welcoming without being intrusive. The cabin and view faces away from other structures so it feels like you are alone atop a mountain in the woods but you have the comfort of knowing your hosts are nearby in the event you have questions etc. As for the view...can't beat it. Absolutely stunning. Light a fire, sit in the Adirondack chair outside, and relax - this place is a gem!

Description was accurate.

Betty Joyce and Bill are very warm hosts who provided us with all the info we could want and a 5 star breakfast! Their house is super cosy and we had the whole basement to ourselves. Also we took a nice walk along the creek near their hilltop forest home. Would love to come again!

We enjoyed our short stay. Betty Joyce and her husband were friendly and made us feel comfortable and at home. The home is in a beautiful setting.

Betty Joyce and Bill were great hosts and we enjoyed our stay. Their hilltop home provides a secluded escape from the city, but still close enough to go into town if you want. It was a great central location as we explored hiking/kayaking/fishing spots around Charlottesville. We were very comfortable and enjoyed having the entire basement to ourselves. Thanks!

This is the true gem of Charlottesville! Hosts were wonderful, accommodations were amazing! Very out of the way and quiet but not too far out of the way. If you want to relax in Charlottesville, stay here! My daughter had a very relaxing stay and I will be sure to visit again!

Harry and I had been traveling for 2 weeks before arriving at Betty Joyce & Bill's peaceful home. Their location and atmosphere induces relaxation and calm - something we needed after 2 days of driving. Betty Joyce gave us great suggestions for places to eat and paths for running. Both Harry and I enjoyed meeting and sharing with them and hope that our paths cross again.

In short: It was the best choice, to stay at Bettys home. The couple is very friendly and they gave us good adives and suggestions what to do and where to go. The house is located beautifully in the woods with a georgeous view and walking trails nearby. Inside we had a lot of space to relax. Thanks a lot, we would have loved to extend our stay.

Great hosts. Communication prior to our stay was great and they made check-in very easy despite being out when we arrived. The basement is cozy and it's very nice that guests have that entire space to utilize. We met Bill and he's great! He had a nice breakfast and coffee waiting for us when we made it upstairs. We had a great stay and will definitely be returning next time we are in the area!!

Beautiful home and property and very nice and interesting hosts. Would definitely stay here again.

James was a great host! They left us a really nice welcome note along with some coozies, stickers, and beer in the fridge. The house was really nice and great for a group. James was also fast to respond when we had an issue with the circuit breaker. It was located a bit away from town so ubers took a little longer to get out to the house, but overall we were still able to get rides to go downtown and to vineyards. Definitely recommend this place for a getaway in Charlottesville!
