Summary: A charming, tranquil location with a mountain view, large pet friendly fenced yard, and lovely flower gardens. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped. There are two excellent wineries within a mile and easy access to others nearby. Hiking opportunities are numerous in the area. If you enjoy a good sit in a front porch rocking chair surrounded by nature, this is your spot. We would without hesitation recommend and return to this property.

Summary: The property was very clean and perfect for a quick weekend visit to wineries and breweries with our little one and pup.
Larissa G. Feb 20, 2025 09:51:19 PM
Summary: This was a great house to stay in. It is close to wineries, breakfast diners, and wintergreen. My favorite thing was the fenced in yard so our dogs could run around!
Kristin B. Dec 30, 2024 01:07:27 AM
Summary: Everything about the rental was above expectations. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Great communication from the host throughout the trip, with detailed check-in and check-out instructions.

Summary: Great short getaway in Afton. So close to hikes and wineries. Loved the property for us and our dogs. Fenced in yard was a HUGE bonus. Would stay again!

Summary: Sweet Afton is a cute country cottage with a few little endearing quirks expected from an older home -- squeaky wood floors, wavy windows, and sometimes prickly door/window operations. The gardens, which provide ample privacy from traffic and neighbors, were beautiful even in September. My favorite was to sit on the back porch and enjoy the view of the gardens, the mountains, and the deer that visited pretty much every morning and evening -- even in the rain. I thought the beds and pillows were comfortable and the bathroom -- although small -- was nicely updated with shelves to store your bath items. The kitchen had everything that I needed (hot water kettle!) -- though I typically bring meals from home that just need warming up. Having live plants in the house definitely made it feel homey. The cottage, besides being in a beautiful setting, was extremely convenient to hiking BRP/SNP and the Blue Ridge Tunnel (which the East entrance was only like a 3-minute drive). It's also convenient if you want to visit the local country/general stores, orchards, and antique stores. Also, I am not an "Apple" user, so figuring out the remotes took a few extra minutes - but not insurmountable, obviously! I did have a few things that I alerted Guesthouses about during my stay and they were very responsive. I think my one recommendation is a quick sweep of the porches and windows before a guest arrives to make it feel a little more inviting. Overall, I would definitely return.

Summary: Wonderful cottage in the Afton mountains. Convenient to trails, vineyards, and breweries. Yard was completely fenced and even my ever tenacious Jack Russell Terrier could not find an escape - loved watching her run around outside. Highly recommended.

Summary: This is the second time we have stayed at Sweet Afton. We really enjoy the location and the house itself. We did have an issue with the water "going out" two times on the same day, but Drew came to the house almost immediately to fix it. We plan to stay at this property again.
Jessica D. Aug 8, 2024 11:43:45 PM
Summary: We loved staying with our family and dog in this cute little cottage.
Debbie H. Jul 20, 2024 12:31:26 AM
Summary: Perfect farmhouse cottage with an amazing property. House was adorable and fully equipped. The front and back porches were priceless. A big thunderstorm rolled through one night and we sat on the porch and watched it all! Quiet area but the wineries, breweries and distilleries nearby were our favorites! Better views than closer to Monticello and better wine! Blue ridge tunnel was a unique and fun experience. Planning our next visit already!
