Our granddaughter started UVA on a softball scholarship.. It was family weekend. Looking through multiple listings, I found this gem!! We were stunned when we arrived. The attention to detail was amazing!! Pics in listing are spot on. After a day of chaos, at UVA, it was awesome coming home to peace and quiet.. Waking up to the mountains and wildlife while enjoying our coffee was beyond wonderful!!I personally rate this cottage my #1 choice of all the VRBO's of the many we've stayed at!!5 stars to the host!!! We will definitely be rebooking in the near future!!!

Fantastic property! House has everything you need and then some. Great location- 15 min to Monticello, Michie tavern, Highland, Charlottesville downtown and 9 min to Trump winery- gorgeous property, worth checking out, had a lovely lunch with spectacular views. Highly recommend this cottage. Would absolutely stay again. We stayed Oct so didn't ski and can't speak to area offerings.

Charming Cottage!

This was one of the nicest VRBO's that we have stayed in! Everything about it was wonderful. It was clean, well-appointed, bed was extremely comfortable, communication with the owner was great, and the location was lovely... just a short drive from Monticello, downtown Charlottesville, UVA, and the Blue Ridge Skyline Drive is about 30 minutes away. There are also great restaurants close by. I would highly recommend this property!

Totally and aesthetically renovated cottage that provides every desired amenity and need. Don’t miss an opportunity to check in and drive only 6 miles to downtown Charlottesville as well as to recommended vineyards. You will not be disappointed. Owners are delightful - a real plus.

Clean and beautiful cottage

Cleanest property we've stayed at in 30+ years of vacation rentals. Everything provided was upscale and in excellent condition. Since we live in a more rural setting, the road noise when outside was noticeable.

AWESOME COUNTRY HOME

This little house is absolutely spectacular and we enjoyed our 10-day stay immensely. Everything in the house is top quality, and the people who own the place live nearby and are delightful to interact with.....especially Cindy. She is a genuinely nice, nice lady. I would recommend this lovely home to any small group who is looking to visit Charlottesville. Although the house is small, the outside area can accommodate large family events easily. There is also a lovely firepit area, BBQ grill and ample parking.

We needed to stay in Charlottesville for a month after my daughter had surgery. Found this wonderful cottage out in the country and it was absolutely amazing. Cottage was super clean, had everything you need. The area is quiet and only 15 mins from Charlottesville. We couldn’t do much because of my daughter’s recovery, but the cottage is also close to some wonderful wineries. I would stay here again in a heart beat for a couples weekend! Thank you Cindy for having us.

Beautiful Carter Mountain Cabin

This 1-bedroom, 1.5 bath cabin is perfectly appointed. New appliances and a cook’s kitchen make it a comfortable home-away-from-home a few miles from Charlottesville. Quiet and set back from the road with a view of the stars at night. We loved this place!

Love This House!

This was our second time staying at the cottage and I cannot say enough how WONDERFULLY CLEAN this home is. I would recommend to anyone to stay here. The house is close enough to Charlottesville and plenty of wineries or just relax on the quiet front porch or by the fire pit. Cindy is always available and willing to answer any questions. You will not be disappointed!

Perfect for couples

This is just the right size to have room to spread out but not get stuck with a multi-bedroom house you don’t need. Everything is clean and modern and thoughtfully supplied. It was just perfect. The location is a little odd, neither in the country or the city and next to a main road. But it is convenient to shops and historic sites and has nice views. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable cottage just south of Charlottesville

This cottage is superbly designed and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need, including a variety of spices and seasonings. The grill on the back porch is a nice extra. The king size mattress is extremely comfortable. Location is convenient, just south of Charlottesville and within an easy distance of many wineries and historical sites. Highly recommended!!

An Incredible and Charming Oasis

Wow - Cindy and Duane’s cottage is the nicest VRBO property we’ve ever stayed in. We enjoyed a week at the Fairwood Cottage as a workcation destination and it was just perfect for my husband and I! The cottage has been fully renovated with high-end appliances, furnishings, washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen and a beautiful front and back porch including a gas grill. The high speed internet allowed both my husband and I to work remotely and participate simultaneously in zoom meetings. When not working, we enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and nearby wineries. We couldn’t recommend this place any more and are already thinking about making it an annual trip!

Very attractive cottage in a great location. All kitchen appliances, utensils, crockery, etc. of the highest standard as were the bathrooms and seating. Spent every evening having sundowners on the grassy slope behind the cottage. Would have stayed longer but it was booked.

Sheer perfection for our 8 week stay!

This property is a model of the perfect VRBO. Our hosts Cindy & Duane were cordial, kind, always available and quick to answer our few questions and remained so from the very first contact until our very last day of our stay. The cottage is truly lovely, very comfortable, extremely clean, and well-furnished for your stay. It is airy with great light and P.S., the sunsets were magnificent! We stayed for 8 weeks and everything we needed to live as if at home was there. The bed is fabulous; the modern kitchen is just the right size; and the two bathrooms and separate laundry room are greatly appreciated features. It's perfect and I recommend you GO and see for yourselves. Your dream VRBO awaits you!
