My family enjoyed staying here for a fun weekend in Charlottesville. It was a quick, easy drive to Charlottesville and other local attractions. We traveled with our 8 month old baby and our in-laws and everyone felt right at home! The sun room was a perfect spot for family time.

Cute house in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking. The host was quick to respond and the home was easy to get into with clear instructions. The house was clean and modern.

Overall was a great location to anyone wanting to enjoy the outdoors since the National Forest was nearby with gorgeous views! Or even enjoy all that the resort area offered! House was clean and the host was always made sure to get back to us about any questions that may have come up. Our kids loved that there was a game area as well that they could watch tv or game without having to give up the TV for the adults to watch TV.

Lisa is a fantastic host! Her place is nestled in a quiet residential section not far from downtown Charlottesville. The place was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. What really made the stay great was Lisa's attention to detail (e.g. providing a a few snacks, automated lights in strategic places, extra blankets and linens were easy to find, and a cell phone charger provided in convenient location). Would definitely stay here again.

Pet-Friendly Country Farm House on Pond

PamelaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our 3 nights stay at Golden Meadows Farm was wonderful! It far exceeded our expectations. Richard, our host, had even prepared for the last minute addition of our family dog. A water bowl was filled and waiting for her. The large fenced-in yard spaces were gated and secure, very well maintained, and a joy for our dog and the grand kids to run and play. The pond and surrounding grounds are beautiful and well landscaped. Richard was always available if we needed anything. He even gave us a dozen of his "home raised" eggs, which we all enjoyed for breakfast. The farm house was clean and well equipped with anything you might need during your stay. The beds and linens were very comfortable. My 4 year old granddaughter asked if we could live there :) We hope to be able to return to Richard and Julie's farm for another visit to the beautiful state of Virginia.

Cozy 2BR Cabin w/Hot Tub, Fire Pit Near Shenandoah

SophiaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We had the most wonderful weekend at Michael’s cabin! From the moment we arrived, I could tell how much care and thought had gone into making guests feel comfortable. The bathroom was stocked with such thoughtful toiletries - a nice touch that made us feel right at home. The bed was also very comfortable, and we slept well each night. The cabin’s modern decor is beautiful and really elevated the whole experience - it felt cozy yet stylish. The location is beautiful: quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. It was the perfect escape, and we loved waking up to the sounds of birds and fresh air. Michael was a fantastic host, always quick to respond and friendly in his communication. We really appreciated the detailed online guide he provided for the cabin and the local area - it made everything so easy, from check-in to finding great spots nearby. I highly recommend Michael’s cabin. If you’re looking for a relaxing, beautifully designed retreat with a host who truly goes above and b

My niece and I - and our 2 pups - thoroughly enjoyed our stay and a chance to have some quiet bonding time. (We live in separate cities and sadly don’t get to see each other often). The house is so lovely and the fenced-in yard was perfect for the pups. We would love to return again soon. Thank you!
