Our stay at this location was very Comfortable studio and bed; nice decor. Communication with host was excellent. Convenient to Charlottesville and several vineyards.Would recommend and would stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment was pleasant and cozy with a comfortable bed and small but well equipped kitchen, and it's in a beautiful location. We would certainly stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay! Host was proactive in making sure we safely arrived and navigated us around inclement weather. Loft was clean and spacious, perfectly located between the wineries we love to visit.
Great spot for a solo trip or couples get away in Charlottesville. Relaxing surroundings, perfect for when you are planning to be out and about during your trip and want a comfortable, low key, quiet home base.
The home was nestled in a quiet rural area, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. My family and I stayed for the night and found the place to be charming, clean, and surprisingly spacious. It was a wonderful retreat, perfect for a restful getaway.
My partner & I had an awesome one night stay, & can’t wait to come back. Close to our favorite breweries, wineries, & restaurants. Quiet & tucked away. So quiet in the studio too! Great stay, fresh eggs are a plus. Can’t wait to come back.
This studio is so cute and perfect for a Fall weekend getaway trip to Charlottesville! It is conveniently located from downtown, breweries, Carter mountain, and other attractions. Host is super responsive too and place is well stocked with everything you need for a night or two. I strongly recommend!
My husband & I really enjoyed the space as well as the host. It was a clean, and spacious area that was well furnished so we felt right at home. The farm fresh eggs were also a nice touch.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It is close to Crozet where our grandchildren are. We had a great time and after the grandkids wore us out each day, we had a quiet comfortable place to unwind and get ready for the next day.
My wife, Deb, and i had a great time visiting grandchildren in Crozet. This was a great place to be at the end of the day to relax and unwind only 15 min away from family. The place was very clean and comfortable. Will come back again if it is available on our next visit!
This place is a true gem .
Very secluded, away from all the hustle and bustle . But still close enough to charlottesville, Breweries and Wineries.
Very clean and bright super comfy bed .There is everything you need .
The complimentary eggs from there own chicken,is such a great Idea

Beautiful property off the beaten path, still close to town. Very well maintained, large space, private and self-contained unit, good internet/TV options, owners are kind/friendly, fresh eggs for breakfast (very great!), highly recommended. Thanks so much for everything!
Property is exactly as described. Bed was comfortable so we were well rested for the next day. We enjoy VRBO’s because we don’t like eating out for every meal. After a day of sightseeing and hiking, it was great to end the day with a relaxing, quiet evening in a rural environment. Loved having the dining table to eat breakfast and dinner and to play the games we brought.
Adorable one-room (but spacious) place, newly renovated with an outside deck. Easy access to C'ville, Staunton, Afton, and nearby. Quiet and safe. If you cook for yourself, be aware that there is no oven (I missed that in the description) and very few pans/pots. Keurig only. Will definitely stay again.
Quiet, quaint apartment. Owners are very gracious with plenty of amenities. This apartment is not set up well for any cooking; oven not working and no toaster. A good breakfast is not even an option.
Peaceful, surrounded by woods. Not far from downtown Charlottesville. Good value. The oven did not work but we were not cooking other than coffee. Owner provided fresh eggs from her hens - very lovely.
The small studio over the garage was perfect for our stay in Crozet. The quiet and private setting makes you feel you are in the middle of no where but you are just minutes to town. We awoke to the chirping of birds and at night the stars are abundant. The bed was comfortable and the shower had great flow. All the little creature comforts such as coffee maker and even a jar of my favorite candy, fireballs. Highly recommend!

Off the beaten path which was nice, plenty of room, bed was comfortable. Trying to get code to work at the door while there were lots of bugs & mosquitoes swarming was not fun. One of the mugs that was with the "clean" mugs had greasy, red lipstick on it. Toilet paper was one ply/cheapest ever & fan was coming out of ceilung in the bathroom. Price was good but disappointed with items mentioned.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! After a gruesome travel schedule with delayed flights we informed our host we’d be arriving later than anticipated and they were so kind to make up the bed for us. We also had groceries delivered ahead of our stay and the delivery was delayed, yet our host put them away for us anyway. The bed and sheets were comfortable. The kitchenette had just what we needed, and the generous host included farm fresh eggs! There were plenty of towels, amenities, phone chargers were readily accessible near the bed. Plenty of TV channels to entertain our kiddo. Would stay there again!
Quiet. Private. Relaxing. Beautiful accommodations. Why would you stay anywhere else?
The only problem we had was finding entry keypad. It was right in front of me, I just didn't recognize it. The owner immediately responded and had us inside in less than a minute.
The short drive into Charlottesville was more than offset by the beauty of driving through the area! We will definitely be back!
