About this property

1700"s Historic Summer Kitchen Cottage #147&Pool, a National & Virginia Landmark

Welcome to 1700 Historic Summer Kitchen Cottage # 147.
This cottage is listed as a National & Virginia Historic Landmark. The structure and its architecture represent that time period. The architecture in that period dictate that stairs can be somewhat narrow and steep.
However, we have made some accommodation that you could sleep downstairs also. (As per photos) We do not give refunds however we will do our best to make your stay good.


My place is close to historic attractions & quaint towns! So, a perfect opportunity to escape and unwind from city life on a beautiful & historic 250 acre estate. Our historic 200 year old bungalow comfortably fits 3 people & is perfect for those who just want to take a step back and enjoy nature.

Visit a variety of great vineyards. You are only 20 min away from the home of President Jefferson's "Monticello" and from the home of President James Madison's "Montpelier". We are 40 minutes from Shenandoah National Park.

We are in the country and these are old cottages, we seasonally have lady bugs, stink bugs and wasps. We do everything to prevent them coming in the cottage. We do not give refunds however we will do our best to make your stay good.

A beautiful property on a bucolic property. The cabin was perfect sized and very well appointed. We loved the working fireplace! Had we more time, the pool looked great and was heated. It was the perfect country setting for touring the Charlottesville area.

Rented 2 cottages for a girls trip. As expected the cottages are smaller due to that era.Might be cramped with 4 people. Beautiful and tranquil property. Excellent experience at the spa,lounging by the pool and fires at night. Close to shopping, wineries and restaurants. Kim and Nico were excellent hosts. These 4 ladies certainly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect cozy spot for a getaway

If you are looking for something outside of the hustle and bustle of the city, relaxing, quiet, yet close to many cool local spots and not far from Charlottesville... this is your spot! The cottage was so cute. Clean, welcoming, and most of all relaxing. We didn't get to utilize the pool b/c of the weather, but did take advance of relaxing by the pool 1 night just to enjoy some fresh air. Book your stay now, you won't regret it!

Nice and secluded

Communication with the hosts was easy. The property was nice, historic, and had a lot of space to roam. My wife and I live in a very rural part of Nevada and needed some time away from the city stuff we have to be on the east coast for. This little cabin and the surrounding land was perfect.

Perfect Weekend Destination

My daughter and I stayed in this beautiful cottage as part of a weekend trip to celebrate her birthday. We could not have hoped for anything better! We loved being able to stay in such a well restored piece of history. We also enjoyed the unbeatable scenery and frequent visits from the resident cats Charley and Carson. The location itself was perfect - away from the hustle and bustle, but easy distance to any attractions that we wanted to visit. I would definitely stay here again if visiting the area!

Perfect getaway

Some friends and I were wanting a weekend away while being close to vineyards and this was perfect! The cottage we stayed at was clean and had a cozy feel. The pool and beautiful surrounding were such a plus as well! Although communication was difficult during the stay (I’m guessing mostly due to poor service), all my questions beforehand were promptly answered. Would definitely stay there again!
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
The pool and the green pastures and the woods all provide a great backdrop. (We are in the Country side but close enough to stores etc ) Our guests plan day trips to wineries and historic sightings as the cottage is at the perfect location. We very much appreciate their stay and welcome them back anytime

Weekend Getaway

From selection to check in, the process could not have been easier. The location is perfect. Close enough to wineries, antiques and restaurants, but offers plenty of open space and peace and quiet. The history of the property is an added bonus. How often do you get to stay in a structure that has been around since the 1770’s! We’ll definitely be back.

Relaxing stay

We had an amazing 2 night stay at this beautiful home. The pool was so relaxing, we hung out there pretty much all day. My pup loved exploring the grounds as he took in all the new smells. The kitties are from the same rescue that we got our baby boy from. We would definitely stay here again. The hosts were very helpful and answered any questions we had promptly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Such a lovely time!

What a wonderful 5 days we had on this beautiful farm! The cottage was perfect with plenty of room. We enjoyed having a full kitchen and the rose garden outside our door. A definite highlight was the pool and walking opportunities along with proximity to historic Gordonsville. We took an easy trip to Castle Hill Cidery in Keswick for one of their music evenings which I highly recommend. Nico and Kim were gracious hosts and available for any questions. Time in any season would be a nice getaway!

Just lovely

We loved the peace of this rental, the very friendly resident kitty and the wonderful pool! All four of us slept comfortably and the A/C kept us plenty cool during a heatwave. I was impressed with the available items in the kitchen and bathroom and the many DVD’s for watching. We used the small grill for some hot dogs but it was too hot for a bonfire. The setup for relaxing here is just perfect!
