Beautiful property that exudes calm and peace. Pool was a great feature especially in the summer heat. The property is managed by an LLC which I found out after the fact so many times interaction was very impersonal. I was sent a message upfront that said call a different number for emergencies after hours after I checked in. Things like that should be made aware upfront. Another time Michael read the message but never responded. I probably won’t stay at another Stay Charlottesville property again because again the entire interaction felt very business like and transactional. I will note. Michael did respond when we first checked in with a question.

We had the best stay. The property was beautiful, far exceeded our expectations and the pictures. We would go back in a heartbeat. The outdoor space and everything that the property had to offer was truly without parallel. I will also add that this property was truly very comfortable and large enough for two families with children, which is not always the case even when there are a lot of bedrooms. I loved how set back from the road it was, in a truly pastoral location.

This spot was perfect for our winery weekend with friends. We had small children with us who loved playing at the pool and exploring the surrounding property. Would love to come back!
