Great Property; spacious and beautiful

Stay Charlottesville was responsive and helpful. We took advantage of the concierge service and booked a personal chef. The property is beautiful. It's a great place for a large group or multi-family event.

Perfect for a weekend getaway with friends

The property was stunning and worked perfectly for our large group of 17 people. So many people in our group talked about wanting to come back their with family for future getaways. The bedrooms and kitchens were clean and welcoming and the lodge was a fun place for everyone to gather.

Beautiful Retreat

Sunsets from this location are amazing! Our work team loved staying in the three buildings. Only difficulty was needing a few more items to make our meals, but otherwise kitchens were awesome.

beautiful resort tucked away near virginia mountains

This property was very well appointed, everything was updated and new. The property owner needs to give clear directions to the rockfish river- it was hard to find. we were disappointed that it was not swimmable, but other than that, the property was perfect and in close proximity to great hikes, wineries and breweries!

Amazing Property with Views, Wildlife, and Trails!

We stayed with some of our adult kids and families and loved it! I was thrilled to have trails and a gravel road on the property where I could venture out alone when the family didn’t want to join. Wished there was a more detailed map of the trails, but we eventually found them all-so many deer, bunnies, and a coyote. The one that leads to the river does not connect with any of the others, so know that when you attempt to locate it. We also didn’t think the river would be great for swimming (very muddy/buggy), but had fun tying rubber ducks to strings and throwing them out for the grandkids. We especially liked the view from the end of the property over the valley. It was beautiful from sunset until it was dark. Then the fireflies came out and kept us busy. We loved the fire pit and made s’mores and roasted hot dogs. The lodge was a great place to eat dinner and watch movies together. The kitchen area in it looked to be for storage so we didn’t use it, so maybe inquire about that being an option if you need it. We were grateful they allowed our two small dogs or we wouldn’t have been able to stay. The location was great for getting to LU (50 min) and we loved the dark tunnel hike that was about a 35 minute drive. There was a grocery store not too far, also. Concierge was very helpful! Only cons were misc. items left by the previous renters, and we really wished a dining table was in the cottage (there was room for one but only 2 stools at a counter). We hope to return!

Wonderful getaway in the mountains with family

The multiple sites - cabin, cottage and lodge are beautiful and allowed us to be separate and also together in a beautiful setting.
