We had a wonderful stay here during UVA graduation weekend. The house was quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place to come back to after busy days on campus. Even though it was about a 15-minute drive to UVA, it was absolutely worth it for the relaxing atmosphere and extra space. The amenities were excellent, and we especially appreciated being able to unwind and enjoy quality family time together between graduation activities. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Charlottesville for a special weekend!
Our family loved this property, as it was just as bright and spacious as advertised. We enjoyed relaxing on the comfy couches in the living while having coffee in the morning and ending a full day playing cards around the dining room table in the evening. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated that the property felt secluded, yet was just a short drive away from many of our destinations.
We happened to be there during a cold snap and loved having the fireplace. Very thoughtful accommodations the kitchen had everything we needed to serve a crowd and there were plenty of children's books and games for the grandkids. Fabulous rural setting that is actually close to everything. We even saw a red fox in the backyard which was super fun!
10/10 experience - a perfect location for getting to Grounds or downtown while still being quiet enough to relax and recharge. The kitchen is well-equipped and my children enjoyed the books and toys. Our toddler is still wondering when we’ll go back to our “new house” because he loved it so much. Highly recommend!
Property was spacious, comfortable, spotless and perfect for an extra long weekend. Perfect layout and location. We loved our time there. Can’t wait to book again!!!!
The house is beautiful, clean, and centrally located! Even better than pictured! Well equipped with everything we needed. Perfect for a long weekend of exploring Charlottesville town and the wineries and will definitely stay again.
This was a quiet, Southern Living style home— the kitchen was fully stocked, den had plenty of seating and the working fireplace was just right for a chilly night after the UVA game. The ultimate in hospitality was the homemade chocolate chip cookies that welcomed us upon arrival— what a treat! I would’ve loved to stay longer and will definitely return for another visit
This VRBO was an excellent place to stay for our vacation in Charlottesville, VA. The owners were so inviting and had our house completely set up for us. Organized, clean, well stocked, and impeccable decoration. Our check out was easy and fast. We would absolutely stay here again on our next visit.
I highly recommend the Earlys Guest House. It’s in a quiet location, the house has a great layout and is full of amenities. It is also very close to the University of Virginia. We can’t wait to return!
Our stay was so comfortable and peaceful. We had such fun watching the birds and wildlife! The owners were great. We got to relax and enjoy our 2 week stay with no worries.
The house was great and enough space for our group of 6. The photos on the listing were very accurate and close to wineries for our weekend trip.
While you are close to the owners you feel like you have complete privacy.
