Clean, comfortable, relaxing, and the pond is right outside for evening cocktails. Lots of places to go, Charlottesville is close ( 20min drive) quaint town with lots to do. We highly recommend this charming home.Jeff and Cindy
I booked this place as a temporary place to sleep during my first couple weeks of work before permanently moving, so I really didnât need much. Instead of just a place to sleep for a few nights, I got a place that felt like it could be home with a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful bathroom, and cozy floor plan that made me feel instantly relaxed. Not to mention an excellent selection of complimentary movies. If this place was available to rent, I wouldnât hesitate to sign a lease. Loved my stay.
John & Maria's "pond house" basement apartment was just what I needed for a couple of days' quiet work, including a one-day conference just down the road at the University. I would definitely stay here again.
The owners have been so thoughtful when they set up this rental for your stay. You feel welcome and comfortable and lack for nothing. Plenty of room, perfectly stocked, cozy and comfortable. Everything was made easy for our stay. Would stay again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for sharing your home!
The pool house was very very clean and neat! The host was very helpful. The only draw back was the lack of a shower curtian and that was a minor inconvenience
Nice area and conveniently located near Shenandoah National Park. The downstairs apartment was very clean and quiet except for the footsteps we heard past midnight every night (which didnât really bother us because we are night owls). We had everything we needed for preparing meals, but we did struggle a little bit with the mini fridge and used coolers as back up. Overall, a nice place to stay and we would definitely consider staying there again if we are back in the area.
Great accomodations for 2 people with the spacious open concept floor plan. Will definitely book again as the price and location were great for us. As per other reviews, we heard footsteps a couple of times, but nothing that annoyed us. In fact, we let out a cheer watching the hockey game which they definitely heard, and realizing how loud we were, went into quiet mode the rest of the stay. Super friendly hosts.
My husband and I took a last minute trip up to Charlottesville, Va. over the past week. We found this little gem of a place on VRBO and could not have been more pleased. The apartment is so homey and welcoming that you will not want to leave! I can't say enough good things about the rental. It was so clean, welcoming, and well equipped. We are huge fans of the Charlottesville area and will definitely return for more stays in the future. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home and we will be back!
My family and I rented the Pondhouse this past weekend to share in parent weekend for UVA. It turned out to be the perfect distance just outside the traffic in Charlottesville. We were able to easily travel back and forth between activities to refresh ourselves. The apartment exceeded our expectations in terms of size, comfort and amenities. The home is exceptionally clean and the owner provided all the little extras that make your stay feel like being at home. The attention to detail was superb. We will definitely choose this home over a hotel for our future visits.
Overall I am pleased with my stay. The location was very close to the airport and convenient to Charlottesville and the Shenandoah National Forest. Space was ample for one person or a couple. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and necessities. Lots of clean towels and linens. It is a basement apartment so it is damp and musty which is to be expected in a basement. The footsteps overhead are quite loud but otherwise it is a quiet location. Stairs outside are a little steep and it is not wheelchair accessible.
Our staybwas great. I stayed for 2 days with my husband and 4 year old daughter, the apartment included everything we needed and it was very clean. We really enjoyed staying there and felt like home. Thank you very much!
We might have been better prepared for our trip had we known the apartment is below the owners. We left at 2am for a hotel because my husband couldn't sleep. He tried for a few hours but the night was spent listening to whoever was crossing the floor upstairs. This was every few mins. We tried for a while until my husband had had enough. This was supposed to be a weekend away for him to relax and not worry about anything. The last thing we expecting was to drive for 2 1/2 hours after working all day and then, be up all night. It would have been a huge plus to know that this rental was someone's basement. They should've put a picture of the steep steps you go down in order to get to the basement. I wasted money on a spot we never would've rented had we known. And then had to double the money spent on another location. Definitely did not turn out the way we had planned. We also didn't meet the owners. A guy came outside when we pulled in to tell us where to park and where to go. There was no other communication after that, even after we left and didn't go back.
This is a very cute unit, Iâve stayed here twice and Iâm looking forward to coming back in the summer or maybe sooner then that!!!
Itâs totally quiet and near everything that you need.
