Had a great stay at this cottage and was so taken with the view, the pool and hot tub, and the property at large. I didn't realize there were other cottages available so we had the opportunity to meet some other travelers as well during our stay! the Madison cottage is perfect if you really want to take advantage of the amenities, go out and about in charlottesville with a minimal drive everywhere (less than 15 minutes to anything we did), and have a host willing and able to provide recommendations or to have a chat when he is on site.

We had a great time in this little historic cottage. The farm and surroundings were beautiful. The hot tub and the salt water pool were nice, clean and very relaxing! The cottage itself is small but it has virtually everything you could ask for. The little full service kitchen area was perfect for 2 people. Steve had everything set up perfectly for our arrival including a nice, chilled bottle of Pinot Grigio in the fridge!I would definitely recommend this property. It is perfect for a couples weekend getaway.

Overall a great stay. The location was perfect and easy to get to wineries, breweries, and many restaurants, but was secluded enough to feel like a vacation.

We did not use the hot tub. The weather was wet and chilly. Also the hot tub was several steps from our unit. The cottage was charming; however, it was lacking attention. There was dust in several areas, the silverware in the drawer was dirty, and there were numerous stink bugs (dead and alive) throughout the unit. The cottage was sufficiently appointed, and we appreciated the location and nature that this cottage provides.
