Monticello and Winery Trip
The cabin was as described, clean and well stocked. Close to many wineries, Monticello, and James Madison House, as well as Charlottesville and UVA. We had a couple of questions for the owner and each were addressed promptly and satisfactorily. A great alternative to a hotel, quiet and comfortable. Would stay there again if visiting the area.

We enjoy this house very much. We have stayed in both units and I like A better than B but I don't know why. This property is less than 2 miles from our daughter so we will use it every time we come up to spend time with her, if we can. We will also use it any other time we are in the area.
