This is a beautiful home. I felt like I was visiting someone’s well outfitted home and it was really lovely. This house is even nicer than it looks in the pictures. Super comfortable beds and fluffy towels. Beautiful outdoor space. Just a perfect family gathering place. We absolutely loved it and made some great memories.
Absolutely wonderful. Beautiful house. Great location. Super comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, great amenities. Probably best house I have ever rented. We had a relatively short lived power outage during a big storm and even that was romantic! Janette is an amazingly responsive host.

Thank you so much for the amazing review and for being such stellar guests!
Gorgeous house and property--extremely clean, well equipped, comfortable. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space/views from the deck. Lots of privacy and space, yet still great proximity to Charlottesville/UVA. Ben was very responsive and helpful.
The house is spotless! Nice amenities. Plenty of parking. Kitchen is well organized. Lots of outdoor space. Could use a larger newer coffee pot. Please note the taxidermy in the pictures. This is my only caution. The animals are hung on every public space in the house.

Thanks you for the review and kind words, although it’s our 1st one that doesn’t have 10 stars I appreciate you taking your time to respond.
I’m sorry the coffee maker wasn’t big enough for your group, it makes 10 cups at a time and we have several coffee carafes to pour and rebrew another pot. I will look into bigger pots or purchase a 2nd one.
Yes there are deer, turkey and bear mounts/taxidermy placed around the house. It’s a cabin/house in the woods and the pictures posted show most all of the mounts. None of the mounts are in the kitchen, foyer, bedrooms or bathrooms. Sorry if the taxidermy offended you. I appreciate the feedback and hope you had a great stay regardless.
Our stay was wonderful. The house was large, but also cozy. It was so close to downtown but also felt like it was in the middle of the woods. Truly the best of both worlds. Ben, the owner, was INCREDIBLY responsive- responding immediately to every request and question. If you are looking for a place in Charlottesville - it doesn’t get much better!
My family had a great time at Ben's house in Charlottesville. There were 9 adults and 5 kids and the house was perfect for our group. Amazing and convenient location, really nice property, and made for a great thanksgiving location!
