About this property

The Branch at Afton Mountain Retreat

Welcome to The Branch at Afton Mountain Retreat in the heart of Brewery Trail/Route 151, Vineyard country and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Branch is located 1/8th mile from Veritas Vineyard. It is within 10 minutes to every brewery, vineyard, distillery and cidery along Route 151 & Crozet as well as the Shenandoah National Park entrance. It is 1 mile from the newly opened Blue Ridge Tunnel and 20 minutes to Wintergreen Resort for winter fun!

Completely remodeled and ready to spoil the best guests who simply want to unwind.
This newly renovated home offers one level living with additional hang out space in the unfinished basement - we like to call it the Teen/Toddler Hangout level. Located on 2 acres with views of Afton Mountain, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the vineyard hillside at Veritas right across the street. The home features a completely open concept floor plan fit for entertaining inside and outside! The screened porch features a brick wood burning fireplace hearth with ample seating for lounging or dining. You can choose to have a meal under the outdoor lights on the patio or simply enjoy a cold beverage on the covered back patio while grilling dinner and watching the cows graze. The kitchen is completely stocked with all you would need to cook meals and enjoy morning coffee. Quartz countertops, stylish lighting and a deep stainless steel workstation sink. The family room is just off the entry and so cozy with deep seating chairs, sofa and ottomans to gather with a 67" TV to watch games and movies.

It will be hard to decide between sitting on the covered front porch Adirondack chairs with swing or moving to the enormous screened-in porch with covered seating for relaxing and a dining table that stretches across the fireplace. The basement is perfect for those rainy days or busy bodies. It features an air hockey table, poker table, chess/checkers/backgammon table, toddler playing zone or a large sectional sofa with a 2nd TV to have separate viewing rooms from the upstairs family room. The laundry room is enormous and equipped with a 2nd refrigerator.

There is plenty of room for everyone to find their special place to stretch out and recharge yet small enough to keep everyone gathered together for time well spent to unwind and relax. Whether you choose to set out for the day to explore or stay all day on the property, you are sure to enjoy your surroundings and the beauty of this area in any season of the year.

Great Property
Our stay at this property was so enjoyable. The house is attractively furnished with anything you could possibly need for a great stay and is immaculate. Location is also a plus. We would definitely stay at this property again when we visit this area as it provides easy access to Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah National Park.

Beautiful, spotless, and well-equipped home!
This property is beautiful, well-located, and most importantly (for me), very clean! So tastefully decorated with fun touches for the kids like a porch swing and air hockey table in the basement. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon. It was the perfect spot to visit wineries (and a polo match), head into Charlottesville, and go apple picking.

Perfect Spot in Afton
Great house that has everything you could want, especially if you're the type to go out all day exploring agritourism and come back to a cozy house to make and enjoy dinner in. We definitely enjoyed the screened in porch with fireplace the most. Bedrooms and bathrooms are nice. It was an adult-only trip so while we did not use the basement play area, I was able to escape to do some work...no rest for the weary! If you like Afton wineries, this is the ABnB for you.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn and Damond Cromer

Host profile image
Hi there! My husband, Damond and I built our forever home on one acre in the lovely town of Crozet! We met while attending the University of Virginia and we got married and lived in Charlottesville after graduating. We love Charlottesville but just needed more space for our kids to run so we built our home in Crozet. We spend a lot of time in the nearby area of Afton along Route 151 going on hikes, visiting the local breweries and vineyards - all the things we recommend to our guests to do! We not only own the spaces that we rent out to our amazing guests but we spend time in those spaces as a family. I am a Realtor at Nest Realty and being a super host has been an avenue of real estate that I enjoy. We built and remodeled our properties and take a lot of pride in them to attract our guests to our little slice of heaven in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Why they chose this property

This property combines so much indoor and outdoor living spaces to relax and take in the feeling of having a home away from home. It provides ample spaces for everyone to do what they want to do and feel like it is just as much their trip to unwind and have fun. The two living spaces between the family room upstairs and the rec room downstairs provide a separation to spread out when you have varying age levels in your group or just the versatility to do different things whether all together or separate.
