UVA Graduation
This was a family gathering to celebrate a UVA graduation. We wanted to stay away from the craziness of Charlottesville. This house was perfect! Everyone in our party raved about how cute, comfy, well laid a house it is! Very well stocked - PLENTY of wine glasses! lol We hit 4 wineries and a brewery (2x) during our stay - all with/in a 5 mile radius! We would highly reccomend and would stay again - for longer - in the future!

Everything was great!
Beds are comfortable. Rooms are clean and space is great for a group. We had all kitchen items needed for Thanksgiving. Loved the horses next door.
