10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
This was a quiet, Southern Living style home— the kitchen was fully stocked, den had plenty of seating and the working fireplace was just right for a chilly night after the UVA game. The ultimate in hospitality was the homemade chocolate chip cookies that welcomed us upon arrival— what a treat! I would’ve loved to stay longer and will definitely return for another visit
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
Never talked to the host. I have stayed here before and think the property and furnishings have gone down a bit. For the price, this was disappointing.
