"It’s an old neighborhood but don’t let that deter you. Revitalization efforts are apparent. House & yard are well kept & clean, back sitting area, fire ring & dog bowls were a wonderful touch. The neighbors on both sides are nice too. They stay to theirselves but will talk to you if you talk to them. There is/was also deer in the neighborhood which was surprising given it’s so close to the city. One was in the backyard this morning! Not sure who was more startled, it or me! The only improvement...

"Myself, along with my son and daughter-in-law, were in VA for a family wedding. The initial drive to the property off the main road seemed a never-ending series of hills, twists and turns, especially for folks from the city. But, in fact, the trip in/out was only about five minutes. The property itself was great. A two bedroom, one bath on the lower level of a lovely private home. The house is on a hill so we could drive right to our entrance in back. The unit is all on one floor with no steps...

"I stayed at this lovely property during a work conference with coworkers. It was wonderful to come back after work and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The house was spectacular and had great space for all of us to have our own bathroom and the ability to have quiet time. Only concern was it is actually about 25 minutes to Sweet Briar and not 6 as advertised. Also, its advertised as dog friendly for up to 2 dogs and I was charged a fee for each one. Would suggest adding that too. All in all it was a...
