This space is absolutely amazing. The house is architecturally gorgeous and every inch is perfectly decorated. The views are incredible- we enjoyed drinking our coffee and watching the birds and squirrels scurry about in the mornings. The sound of the water is so peaceful. Such a wonderful way to unplug. We will definitely be back!

The view was absolutely amazing as you drove up. When you walked in the house, the interior exceeded our expectations. The modern design as well as the amenities exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax and take in the views. Definitely will be back!

The house is beautiful, just as the pictures describe! Beds were very comfortable. We were able to schedule a wine tour with Monticello Wine Tours (sister company) which was very easy and a fun activity.

The house is in a truly gorgeous setting, and the hot-tub and sauna are rare luxuries that we enjoyed to the fullest. Grateful to have been able to bring the family to a spacious place with plenty of entertaining in natural surroundings, games, and sensory delights.

We love the house. Beautiful architecture, with gorgeous layout, great windows and excellent finishes. The combination of materials such as wood and concrete was well done. Top appliances, very good lighting, great furniture, and top interior design, and very comfortable too. We really enjoy our short two nights stay, and hopefully we can come back again. Thank you so much

This was the most amazing air bnb we have ever stayed in. It was so beautiful and perfect for our needs! The views were amazing. The amenities were fantastic. Girls trip was a huge success thanks to this place! Hope to be back soon!
November 2025
The place looked exactly like the photos online, very easy to access with clear instructions. We arrived on a Friday when the lawn care team was working, which caught us off guard at first, but we quickly learned that’s their scheduled day for maintaining the trees and leaves around the property. They were super friendly, just note that there might be some noise if you arrive during that time. We also noticed a few bugs inside upon arrival, but given that the cabin is surrounded by nature and trees, it was understandable for the season. Once we cleaned up, everything was great. Overall, we had an amazing and peaceful stay at the cabin. The location is quiet and relaxing, and we would 100% recommend it to others, we’d love to visit again!
June 2025
