QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
Q: If I have a small group can I get a discount because we won't be using all 5 bedrooms
A: We do not reduce the rate for smaller groups. The house is prepared and vacated for your reservation and it makes no difference to the owners whether you use all five bedrooms or not.
Q: I know you say no events, but if I am having a very small wedding can I rent your home
A: We cannot host events of any nature. We would require an events license and we do not wish to have events at the home. We want it to be used as a residence only.
Q: We are coming to Charlottesville for a bachelorette weekend, can we rent your home
A: We are happy to rent our home to a group who are here to celebrate an upcoming wedding so long as the celebration portion is off site.
