This is our 5th stay at Julie's mountain view cottage. Three years ago (when Julie first started renting it) my wife surprised me with the cottage rental for my birthday in April. I loved the cottage and area so much I decided to not only make it an annual birthday event but to also include coming in the fall for the leaves changing color. The cottage is always in great shape and if there is anything you feel that needs to be corrected Julie will look into it and handle it. Besides the gorgeous views, this cottage has abundant wildlife around it as we saw numerous bucks, doe's and even an albino doe. This location is just off of Route 151 which is famous for the numerous wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries all along this route. This location is also fairly close to Waynesboro (which you can get to with a very scenic drive), Staunton and Charlottesville too where you can find restaurants, local businesses, "big box chains" and antique stores. I highly recommend this cottage.

I had a really nice stay at Julie's place for a long weekend before heading south to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway. This location is so private and peaceful. Sunsets were spectacular, bird watching was great, and there were lots of deer passing through the yard as well. WiFi worked great. I thought the driveway was a little steep, but now that I've completed the Parkway and stayed in other mountain homes along the way... this one wasn't really too bad, looking back now. LOL! Great location to access the BRP and Skyline Drive. Afton is really a beautiful area! Thanks, Julie! :)

What a wonderful house! Located in the popular wine district of Afton, VA, about an hour outside of Charlottesville. The house itself was perfect for one person or a couple. Nice living room, nice sized modern bathroom and a modern kitchen. Plenty of windows to let in the sunlight The one bedroom had a comfortable queen bed and room to store your belongings. The house itself is located up on a hill just a mile or so off the main road. Quiet and private, you could sit on the front porch and relax. At night you see the stars, and in the morning you wake up to see the mountains and vineyards. I would recommend this house to anyone staying in the area who enjoys nature and feels comfortable in the outdoors, and needs peace and quiet after a long day of activities.

Fantastic stay! The place was as advertised and was perfect for a mountain getaway. It offered a serene environment and great accessibility to Afton and the surrounding area. Julie was fantastic and her guidebook is very helpful for navigating local ideas for dining and hiking and much more. We’ll definitely be back!

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful! A peaceful getaway, perfect for two! My boyfriend and I stayed for a few days, and it was just what we needed. Julie was such a friendly and responsive host, even providing us with recommendations for local wineries, restaurants and more. We’d definitely come visit again!

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.
