About this house rental

Nestled down a half mile gravel road you will find a peaceful serene home surrounded by the great outdoors without another house in sight. Conveniently located only 6.8 miles from downtown Charlottesville this charming 3 BR / 3.5 Bath country retreat comes with all the amenities of modern life. There are four wineries within 6.5 miles of the house as well as historic sites such as Monticello & Ash Lawn which are each about 5 minutes away. The house is bright and airy, features all hardwood flooring throughout, a large kitchen, screened in porch and separate outdoor seating area by a babbling fish/frog pond. Below the house is a fire pit surrounded by 8 Adirondack chairs as well as directly accessible walking and horse trails through bordering land which is under conservation easement.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The master is very spacious and bright with a king bed, large, padded headboard and its own full bathroom and tub and 65 inch Smart TV mounted on the wall.
The second bedroom features a queen bed and is very bright and airy surrounded by windows. The third bedroom features two twins and both of these bedrooms share a full bath which features fully tiled and glass enclosed shower.

Finally, in the walk out basement there queen-size pull-out sofa bed, gaming/poker table, 65-inch Smart TV, dart board and complete with its own full bathroom with glass enclosed tiled shower. All bathrooms are supplied with salon grade shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, towels and washcloths.

On the main floor there is a 65-inch smart TV and sitting room with a large bay window looking over the yard to the woods. Also in the room is a piano and wood burning fireplace with two cozy wingback chairs.

The kitchen is bright and large and well equipped with a large sink, dishwasher, disposal, gas range and an assortment of high quality cookware/knives. For coffee lovers there is Keurig Machine (several K-cups provided) or a 12 cup Cuisinart drip Coffeemaker. Also provided are a large variety of spices and basic cooking necessities such as sugar, flour, salt, pepper, cooking oils, vinegars, etc. The kitchen has its own breakfast seating area or you can wander out the back door and relax in the screened in porch. The dining room, visible from the kitchen, comfortably seats six, although you could squeeze eight.

Much of the nearby land behind the house is all under conservation easement and you may enjoy taking one of the many walking/horse trails which are quite extensive. There is a full vegetable garden and small orchard on property which I maintain. You can relax in the outdoor seating area by the fish pond to the sounds of babbling water in the background or lounge in comfortable Adirondack chairs under the tall surrounding oak trees while enjoying the fire pit. This is truly a ‘get away’ retreat and you will leave feeling relaxed and recharged!

Check in time is 4pm and checkout is 11am, although special arrangements can be made if the schedule allows for it.

Host was welcoming and informative, great location, comfortable space! (loved the piano)
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
The home was well outfitted; the large fireplace and access to firewood there was really appreciated. The boat was very responsive to questions about the property or need for minor household items. We loved the quiet setting and places to walk in the woods.
