About this house rental
Orso Blu Stays is a local property management company. We are real and we live in our town.
Oak Forest is an established, wooded residential neighborhood in Albemarle County with a Charlottesville mailing address. It feels tucked away and quiet, but it is conveniently located near the Hydraulic Road, Route 29 and Route 250 corridors. Stonefield, Barracks Road Shopping Center, grocery stores, restaurants and everyday services are all nearby.
The neighborhood primarily consists of detached homes built around the late 1970s and early 1980s. Homes vary in size and style, but many sit on approximately quarter-acre to four-tenths-acre wooded lots. Mature trees, private backyards, circular streets and traditional architecture give it a more established feel than newer subdivisions. There is a balance of privacy and convenience. The setting feels residential rather than commercial, yet guests would not be isolated from Charlottesville’s major employment, shopping and dining areas.
A YALE lock is on the mudroom door and you will be provided with a unique door code within a couple days of check-in.
One level living on the main level of the home. With one-level living available on the main floor, two primary suites, multiple living spaces and generous storage, the home offers the flexibility needed for a comfortable extended stay.

Outdoor Spaces
Spacious Rear Deck: The large rear deck overlooks the wooded backyard and offers a peaceful space for coffee or meals on the large dining table with built-in banquet seating on the deck.
Private Wooded Backyard: Mature trees create a quiet, private backdrop while the home remains convenient to Charlottesville shopping, dining and employment centers. As with any natural wooded setting, guests may encounter seasonal leaves, insects and local wildlife.

The covered porch offers a second outdoor sitting area with protection from direct sun or light rain. It offers adirondack chairs & a bench swing for lounging.
