Beautiful house in Afton

The images of this house are what sold us on the rental originally. I'm happy to say that the pictures are accurate and the house is amazing. Spacious, comfortable and welcoming the Afton residence was a great vacation near many hiking trails and adventures. 30 minutes from Monticello (wonderful tour) and more. The fireflies in the yard the 1st night there were just magical.

Afton Stay

We had a great and relaxing weekend in Afton. The house was close to most of the wineries we wanted to visit and was located in a quiet area. The only improvement needed would be the cleanliness. We had to clean the fridge before we could use it as it appeared to not have been cleaned in a long time. There were a few other cleanliness issues. Perfect little stay if the house had been cleaner.

Comfortable accommodations and location to visit wineries in the area

6 adults stayed here for 3 nights. Comfortable, private, quiet and great location for hitting wineries around Charlottesville. Patio was nice to sit and relax as was the front porch. Clean and everything worked well. Would stay here again. Reasonable price for the location and comfort.
