Wine weekends!
The house was as described and super clean. Neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The host was great. She was proactive and provided helpful information. Appreciated the one-night rental and would stay here again without a second thought.

Beautiful Victorian Treehouse|Btwn UVA +Dtwn Cvill
Hands down one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had! The place was absolutely perfect—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Juan went above and beyond, always responsive and helpful with any questions I had about the home or the area. If you’re lucky enough to find this place available, don’t hesitate—book it! I’ll definitely be coming back if I’m ever in the area again.

Wakefield Ct | Private Parking spots | Fast WiFi
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. The hosts were mindful about having plenty of toiletries and snacks for guests. We definitely recommend staying here!

Mountain View Rambler | Near DT | King+Queen beds
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. We did not use the outdoor space but it was very cute with string lights, firepit, table and chairs. Quick drive to Belle Cafe in Belmont. This is a cute spot and highly recommend as all our food was great. Close to Historic Downtown.

"The Shire" at Hollow View: Crozet Farmhouse
Great farm house and wonderful experience. Was so nice to be able ti being the dogs. They loved the field.

Hot Tub | King Bed | Family/Dog Friendly | BBQ
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.

Wine Cellar Cottage | Walk to Downtown | Parking
Our family of five had a great stay at The Wine Cellar. The home was clean and well decorated, the beds were comfortable and it was walking distance to a host of really great restaurants on Main Street. We would definitely stay here again!
Apartment rentals in Charlottesville

Private apartment in a new home close to JMU
Nina's place was quiet, easy to find, great parking lot. Her place was clean and nice. Things to know, entrance is on the right side of the house, kitchen on first floor and the bedroom/bathroom is upstairs. She has all you need provided. We stayed only one night but will definitely return.

Luxury, open space, in the HEART of Belmont!
Katie's place is unlike any other and is definitely the best basement stay I can imagine. Lots of good light, interesting art, and comfy furnishings.

The Apartment at Dark Run Retreat
This is our third time staying here! Perfect weekend getaway location to hike, see the stars, and enjoy the company of friends.

Lovely apartment in Belmont Cville neighborhood
Peter was responsive and generous. I was visiting Charlottesville and he offered his own oven for me to make some dishes. His place is clean and was nice and warm during the cold nights. I would stay here again when visiting. Thanks Peter for being a great host.

Private appartment in Charlottesville / Belmont
Had a wonderful stay in Charlottesville for our annual girls trip. Home was exactly as pictured. Very centrally located to downtown and a block away from great restaurants and bars. I would definitely rent this property again.

Fabulous Terrace Level Apartment In City
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.

Restful Hilltop Apartment: No cleaning fees!

Ridgeview Retreat: Mountain Views and Pet Friendly
Location is gorgeous. We spent lots of time on the porch and deck and walking the grounds. Inside, the house is spacious yet cozy. Perfect for a multigenerational family getaway.

Pet-Friendly Country Farm House on Pond
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
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

Bear Creek Inn
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!

Spotted Fawn Cabin - Shenandoah VA
The cabin is beautiful and had plenty of room for us (6 adults, 3 kids & 1 infant). Everything was exactly how it is pictured! The hosts couldn’t have been nicer & were very accommodating. Location was perfect for all that we wanted to see including Luray Caverns & hiking Shenandoah National Park. Our family vacation was perfect and we look forward to staying there again in the future!

Darryl’s place is comfortable, clean and in a great location. It’s close to local restaurants and attractions at Massanutten. He is very responsive. We had a great stay during our Spring Break!

Farmhouse at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains
This was our 2nd stay at Michael’s place, and it’s always well worth it. Great location and a great space if traveling with children, they love the tree swing. Will be back in the future.
