The house was good for our needs. Nice inside. Appreciated all the tvs had streaming apps that we could log into with our own account. Beds were comfortable. Location for where we were going every day was good. Minor negative that only one bathroom has a shower but everything else worked out well for use.

Home was very clean and comfortable. About a 15 minute drive to downtown Charlottesville. Perfect for our stay. Michael always responded in a very timely manner. My only drawback to this specific home was that it only had 1 shower, BUT we knew this upon booking. We made it work for 5 adults but a second shower would have been perfect!

Great house!!
July 2025
My family stayed here in July. Overall, we had an acceptable experience. Check-in instructions were emailed to us and was an easy process. The home was well stocked. The listing title and pictures included a playset (which was a deciding factor for us), but when we arrived, it was evident that the playset had been removed a long time ago. We reached out and asked why the listing was inaccurate and about the musty/mildew smell in the home. We received a response that they hadn't noticed the playset was removed and were not aware of the odor. Throughout our visit the main bathroom had gnats, which I wonder might be related to a drainage issue (and contributing cause for the odor). I went back and looked at other reviews and noticed that the odor was mentioned in a review in June 2024 as well. FYI, The title and pictures have been changed, but you can still see the slide from the removed playset in pic 21 (balcony pic). Overall, these issues would not prevent us from coming back.
