Summary: We loved our stay. The property was unique and so much fun! There's lots to do and plenty of space to do it! The house has all the amenities you could ask for so you aren't missing things from home while you stay there and the pool and hot tub were definitely exactly what we were looking for. We only had a couple very minor issues during our stay and the team was more than helpful in getting them resolved ASAP and were so hopeful.

Summary: Stayed at Ivy Retreat for a bachelorette/ wine weekend. The property was beautiful, we made full use of the kayaks, pool, hot tub and fire pit. There were 14 of us that fit comfortably. The kitchen was stocked with anything you may need to cook and serve meals. 2 dishwashers made clean up easy. The house is centrally located between downtown and several wineries, it was 15 mins to either, as well as grocery stores and restaurants. We had a blast with a disco party in the octagon room and the loopppng dining room table was perfect for a mimosa brunch. We barely knew the caretaker was there and rarely saw her. Some of the showers are quite small, it was no issue for us but could see how it might impact others. Noting more for awareness not a complaint. Booking and communication were great throughout.

Summary: My family and I rented this as a home-base for my son’s wedding in Crozet. This house is huge and had so many amenities. It was perfect for us to host family members in the house, friends stopping by, and the bridal party for the rehearsal dinner and Sunday brunch. There was plenty of room for everyone to eat, mingle, and enjoy! The pool table, ping-pong table, and air hockey table were a great addition and well utilized. The kitchen had everything we needed, as did the bathrooms and bedrooms. The geese and their tiny goslings captivated us all! The house was also good location, as it was partway between Charlottesville, where most wedding guests were staying, and the wedding venue. The property manager was friendly, attentive, and helped make the whole process easy. Everyone in my group said they’d like to stay there again!

Summary: My 3 adult children, their partners and 5kids all had Easter break this past week. Originally, we planned to go further south but found this place just outside Charlottesville and were so pleased that we stayed here. My kids have stayed in some very nice places but it was the unanimous decision that this was the best home rental we’ve ever had. The hosts were very responsive, always ready to answer questions quickly and the house had everything we needed. We will definitely return. Thank you for being such great hosts. If I were rating this on a scale of 1-10 this would be a 12!

Summary: The house and property are spectacular. We have stayed in many homes, in many locations and this one did not disappoint! The house was clean, well appointed and accurately described. The property is beautiful…even in the winter. We were concerned about having the house manager living on site, but as described, it was absolutely not a problem.

Summary: We had a group of 11 stay there for a winery touring weekend and loved the house. Very easy to communicate with owner. Large beautiful private property with heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, gaming tables and pond. Great location close to Charlottesville. Plenty of space and areas for sitting, relaxing, sleeping and getting ready. Very well equipped kitchen. Some minor bug issues (ants, stink bugs and lady bug/beetles) and a few updates needed to some areas but overall a great find. Would definitely stay here again.
Morgan F. Jun 29, 2024 12:51:16 AM
Summary: Very enjoyable short stay with family friends at this well appointed property. All the appliances and amenities your large group could need. Pool, basketball court and lake were big hits with our teens.
