Beautiful house in Afton

The images of this house are what sold us on the rental originally. I'm happy to say that the pictures are accurate and the house is amazing. Spacious, comfortable and welcoming the Afton residence was a great vacation near many hiking trails and adventures. 30 minutes from Monticello (wonderful tour) and more. The fireflies in the yard the 1st night there were just magical.

Afton Stay

We had a great and relaxing weekend in Afton. The house was close to most of the wineries we wanted to visit and was located in a quiet area. The only improvement needed would be the cleanliness. We had to clean the fridge before we could use it as it appeared to not have been cleaned in a long time. There were a few other cleanliness issues. Perfect little stay if the house had been cleaner.

We had a great week. The house was very comfortable and fit us (four adults, two kids) very well. We had a few problems (dishwasher, grill, wifi didn't work) but Stephanie responded very quickly and did whatever she could to fix the situation. The house is ten minutes from vineyards, cideries, breweries so is very convenient.

Not what we had hoped for

Not much attention to detail. Bath towels were great. Outside gathering area messy, table dirty. Coffee pot was dirty - still had old coffee in carafe when we arrived. Trash was to be picked up by owner's son - left it on porch as instructed. Came home after a day of activities and trash still on porch - bag torn because some animal had been in it. We won't be returning.

Great getaway

This was the perfect getaway spot to escape the city. We came here with our family in the midst of the pandemic. Stephanie was responsive and really thought of everything to make the house feel like home for every age. There were plenty of games and puzzles for all ages and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Our kids loved exploring the big yard, making smores in the fire pit and watching movies on the TV. The area has tons of hiking, orchards, and breweries - there was something to do every day. I highly recommend this property and we hope to return. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Clean and Spacious Mountain Retreat

We stayed at the cottage over the Christmas holiday. It was clean and well decorated with ample and comfortable bedding and linens. The central heating was not working properly during our stay. Fortunately, we had unseasonably warm weather and kept a fire going the entire time. Stephanie was quick to respond and brought extra space heaters for us, on Christmas Day no less.

Amazing Home

My friends and I loved our stay at this home in Afton. The home is beautifully decorated, the beds are comfortable, the yard is perfect for lounging, and the kitchen is fit for a chef (we know, one of us is a chef and she cooked all gourmet meals with the stocked kitchen gadgets!). When we weren’t at the house, we were a very short drive to several wineries and hiking spots. I highly recommend!
