Mountain Mama- Amazing Views! + Hot Tub!

Our home sits on a spacious 25 acres with one of the most spectacular views in all of Nelson County!

Past guests have loved the property:
"Our stay was amazing. Gorgeous views…so serene. Love the decor."
"Wowww such a beautiful place, I just loved it."
"The view was absolutely stunning. It was very peaceful taking in the Mountain views from our bedroom."

KITCHEN/LIVING SPACE:
The kitchen features all new appliances, baking dishes, new pots and pans, dishes, utensils, and knife set. Next to the kitchen is our coffee station with Keurig stocked with k-cups. Open to the kitchen is the TV and couch area. Off the TV room is a relaxing room with couch, reclining swivel chairs and a desk with chair. The ground level also features its own kitchenette along with a couch and TV.

BEDROOMS:
The home has four bedrooms, each with one bed. Our master suite features a king-size bed, chaise lounge, chair and bench, walk-in tile shower, tub and private balcony. Two additional guest bedrooms are also located upstairs, one with a king-size bed and another with a queen-size bed with memory foam mattresses. Main bath upstairs also features a double vanity. Ground level features a queen-size bed with bathroom.

OUTDOOR SPACE:
The main level deck wraps around the back of house where you can grill with a view. Screen porch is located between kitchen and deck area, with ample seating. The ground floor deck features a hot tub with seating for 6, with an array of lighting options, a waterfall feature and 45 therapy jets.

We have a campfire area stocked with wood located down from the house with chairs and a picnic table, which offers a great spot for sunset and stargazing views.

GREAT LOCATION:
Enjoy the many local vineyards and breweries located nearby and minutes away off Rt. 151.

2 miles to Cardinal Point Winery, 5 miles to Veritas Vineyard and Blue Mountain Brewery, and 10 to Bold Rock and Devil's Backbone breweries.

30 minutes to UVA and Wintergreen
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We designed our home for no more than eight guests. There are many other places in the area that can accommodate more than eight guests, but unfortunately our home is not one of them.

Please no smoking of any kind in the house.
Pets are not permitted at property.

In winter months we require 4WD/AWD. Our gravel driveway is about 300 yards long and steep in a couple spots which may be challenging to navigate in times of inclement winter weather.

We do not have satellite or cable TV. Our two TV's are 'Smart' and you can stream through various platforms, but we do not have cable service. There are no TV's located in bedrooms.

A crib is set up in an upstairs bedroom (the one with a queen bed) if traveling with an infant or toddler.

Finally, be aware that our home is in the mountains, and you may encounter lady bugs and stink bugs throughout your stay (our home sometimes seems to be a beacon for them :( We do our best to keep them away, but they can be common in the fall/overwintering seasons. We also do our best to keep mice away, but bugs, bees, and little creatures all merrily live on our mountain too.

Convenient, spacious home

Beautiful home that is conveniently located near breweries, wineries, and trails. The house is also very kid friendly with a crib, high chair, toddler fishers, etc. The house is even larger than it looks on pictures. Would be great for 3-4 couples with a few little ones between everyone. We cant wait to come back!

Absolutely gorgeous

Here is why we'd stay here again in a heartbeat: - The views are JUST as they are in the photos - The beds are really comfortable - We needed to use a washer/dryer after hiking and they're awesome - We saw deer on the property! - The hot tub is rad (just remember to pre-heat it with the top on for 30-60 minutes, it'll take a really long time to heat up if you're already in it...) - Plenty of coffee and creamer - Scenic drive into Charlottesville - I mean. It's just lovely, gorgeous, a pleasure to stay in.

VRBO and the host double booked the place. After a long drive we arrived to a house full of guests who were already unpacked and very unhappy to see us. VRBO's "VRBO Care" would have had us moved from a 4 bedroom house to a hotel for one night, and then the remaining nights at a similar place nearby (but that we would need to find on our own). This was unacceptable so we asked for a full refund.

Deer, Marmot and a Raven, Oh My!

A terrific property! We traveled here recently for our son's wedding in Crozet and this home was perfect for several family members. Each room was clean and well appointed. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. And there was plenty of space to hang out. Views from each room were outstanding. And, the four year old nephew travelling with us absolutely LOVED all the wild life he saw from the balcony. Deer were bountiful but kept their distance and the Marmot was a fun surprise. Our only thing to keep in mind is the steep driveway approach to the home. The 2-wheel drive SUVs managed but my AWD was a plus. That said, we absolutely recommend a stay if you're in the area.

A Dream House

My wife and I came here for a getaway and were absolutely blown away by everything this house has to offer. The location of the home offers privacy and is just a few short miles from some of the best wineries, breweries, and restaurants in the area. The best part of this house has to be the jaw dropping views of the mountains that can be seen from almost every room in the house. The house is beautifully decorated and makes you feel right at home. My wife and I kept taking pictures of all the decorations because we wanted our house to look just like it haha. The whole house was immaculate; including the humongous hot tub! The owners were very responsive and incredibly nice. I could go on and on about this place. My wife and I are definitely coming back and can’t recommend this beautiful dream home enough.
