Good to know

Kick back and relax in this calm and stylish space. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Virginia wine country (just off RTE 151 in Afton), this newly constructed guest cottage is the perfect place for a fun filled getaway. Just minutes away from fantastic hiking, wineries, breweries, and restaurants, this light filled and modern cottage is perfectly framed to take advantage of mountain views from the picture windows.

Sweet, comfortable, modern cottage for two with a beautiful vineyard view. It’s a short drive off the Nelson 151 brew & vineyard trail, and a pleasant drive to many of the area’s outdoor destinations. Would definitely book again.

Amazing calm and relaxing stay overlooking a beautiful vineyard in the mountains, what more could you ask for?! Julie was great to deal with and would love to stay again

Awesome spot for a weekend getaway. You feel like you're lost out in the mountains, but just over 30 minutes to everything Charlottesville and the surrounding area. Julie was a great host with good communication. We would absolutely stay here again!

My wife surprised me with this airbnb rental for my April 9th birthday in 2023 and I liked it so much that I have made it an annual event. This is my third April birthday week stay and my fourth visit as we came down last October 2024 to see the leaves changing colors. As usual, our stay was great. The house and contents are in the same condition every time we have stayed here which shows its upkeep is important to our hosts. There is so much to do around the local area as well as venturing out to the surrounding areas too. This house is located on a private drive and it is secluded enough to feel you have enough privacy but without being too far out from civilization. The views, constant wildlife and peacefulness make sitting on the front deck a joy as long as the weather cooperates. We are planning return visits in the near future and will continue coming to this house as long as it is available. Thank you again Julie.

We loved our stay at the cottage. We were in the area to do work at our newly purchases property. The cottage was super comfy and cozy after working all day! We loved the views! The sunrise over the mountain was stunning!

This place is incredible. The views, the surroundings, the ambiance, the privacy, the quiet evenings... Everything is within 15-20 minutes: great local restaurants, breweries, Charlottesville, wineries, etc. I was a little skeptical at first, but this place is truly one of a kind. The communication with the owner was very helpful (read all the directions twice :-)). Next time we are out that way, we will definitely look for your place!!

This was our second time staying at Julie’s place, and both times were perfect. Everything was seamless and we highly recommend staying here for easy access to all of the Charlottesville wineries. We will definitely be visiting again.

We had a quiet, peaceful stay at Julie’s cozy cottage. It’s new, clean and in a lovely setting and has everything you need for a great visit to wineries, hikes, and breweries all around. We saw five deer and a red fox, right out the windows!

We enjoyed a lovely 3-day weekend over Labor Day 2024. The host, Julie, was very responsive to our initial questions about animals (we have significant allergy concerns). The digital guide was great -- lots of info including suggestions for local hikes, trails, etc. The surroundings are peaceful and very quiet and off the beaten path which we wanted. We were very happy with the cleanliness and general supplies available in the kitchen and bathroom. The property has high ceilings with lots of light - felt very open. All in all, a wonderful weekend. We highly recommend this property!

We loved our mountain getaway at Julie’s place! The place was so pretty and charming and perfectly located to hikes and wineries. We can’t wait to come back!

Find us

There is room for parking in our driveway, and easy driving to any of the popular tourist attractions in the area. Our driveway is a long gravel road, and there is a slight hill you go up as you first come up. Not to worry, our small Hyundai gets up with no problem, so there shouldn't be any issues coming up to the home site.
