About this house rental

The Recycled House is a unique structure in Charlottesville's lovely North Downtown neighborhood. It is constructed primarily from materials that have come from somewhere else and are getting a second life. It took over six years to collect the materials and use them in a thoughtful way. The house was designed as a guest house and a lot of effort has been put into building a place that's welcoming, interesting and fun! The materials give the place a lot of soul, the light from the 33 windows is fantastic and the location could not be better!

Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall is just 4 short blocks away giving you access to over 60 restaurants as well as movie theaters, concert venues, grocery stores and some great shopping--all within walking distance. The University of Virginia is less than 2 miles away and accessible by the free trolley service. Monticello is less than 5 miles away--about 10 minutes by car.

The Recycled House sleeps 6. There's a king-sized bed in the main bedroom. The upstairs loft has a sleeper sofa that sleeps two, and there's a queen-sized sofa sleeper downstairs in the living room. The sofa sleepers are very comfortable. All the linens are soft and the towels are fluffy. There's a half-bath downstairs and a full bath upstairs.

The kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Bosch appliances. There's a side porch, an upstairs deck outside with a tree house feel, and another deck off the kitchen in the back yard.

A washer/dryer is available off the upstairs bath.

Free wi-fi access is available.

The house is suitable for families with children. The staircase is a little steep, so you'll have to watch the little ones.

If you're searching for a really unique space in a great location, I welcome you to The Recycled House! For a sneak peak, check out the video at recycled.house.

When inquiring, PLEASE tell me a little bit about yourself, the purpose of your visit, and any special needs or requests.

Debra was a great host. The house is one of a kind and very conveniently located for walking to shops and restaurants on the downtown mall, or picking up the free trolley.

House was very unique and I had a wonderful stay. House is conveniently close to the downtown mall. Lots of sunlight in all rooms. Furnishings were up-to-date. Bathrooms were large and clean. Really appreciated the fully stocked kitchen with foil, ziploc bags and everything you might need. Chocolate chip cookies left by the owner were delicious! Communication with the owner Debra was always prompt. I enjoyed the house tour and walk through so I knew where everything was. The listing does mention that the stairs are steep and yes they were. The full bath is upstairs so if you are older or have knee problems please take this into consideration.

Everything about this house was wonderful! The Beams, windows, trim and other pieces of recycled material were perfectly placed and visually awesome! We were always discovering another treasure! The design was well thought out making the house very livable. We had everything we needed! We will be back! Thank you Debra.
