Country Living & Pest Control
Our homes are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside, where occasional insects and wildlife are a natural part of the environment. We maintain a professional pest-control program with regular preventative treatments throughout the year. While this greatly reduces activity, it is not possible to eliminate every insect entirely in a rural setting, especially during certain seasons.

Property was very clean and it felt like home for the couple days we were there. The hot tub was great except for the last night the temperature was a little cooler than would've liked. Inside the property was perfect and the outside was great, but trying to get rid of a peacock was a little bit difficult.Otherwise, I highly recommend this property

This was a family gathering to celebrate a UVA graduation. We wanted to stay away from the craziness of Charlottesville. This house was perfect! Everyone in our party raved about how cute, comfy, well laid a house it is! Very well stocked - PLENTY of wine glasses! lol We hit 4 wineries and a brewery (2x) during our stay - all with/in a 5 mile radius! We would highly reccomend and would stay again - for longer - in the future!
