Best of both world! Modern design and loft style 800 sq ft guesthouse near UVA, Monticello and downtown. Lots of light and privacy in a quiet neighborhood. Located on the southwest side of Charlottesville, just 7 minutes to Scott Stadium/UVA/restaurants, about 10 minutes to the downtown mall and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. Central to many major wineries and breweries. You are in nature but close to downtown and restaurants. With a comfortable queen size bed, and sleeping cot available if necessary. It is clean and comfortable, a spacious alternative to hotels. Whether you are here for work or attending events; for sightseeing or simply a weekend gateway, it’s a great place to unwind for a good night’s sleep and sweet dreams. (special rates applied for weekly/monthly stay).

There are 2 guest houses on the property, Honey House and Honey B. They are separate but nearby, designed with maximum privacy in mind: different parking locations and separate building entrances. Ideal for 2 couples vacationing together.

Our Neighborhood—The Honey House is located in a quiet residential neighborhood called Sherwood Farms on the Southwest corner of Charlottesville, just beyond the UVA campus. The oldest buildings in the neighborhood were built in the late 1950s. Our street, Overlook Drive is a mile-long loop with about 30 homes, each having 2-4 acres. The unique location offers best of both worlds: in beautiful nature yet close to town, UVA and everything Charlottesville, Central to many major wineries and breweries. It has easy access to I-64, Route 29 and 250, but is tucking into the woods, out of sight and earshot of all roadways; and you can generally come and go without traffic delays.

Interaction with guests:
We're friendly and unobtrusive and almost always around. Let us know if you need anything. You may see us sometimes in the vegetable garden or the small apiary with bees all the way back. You may also encounter a few bunnies and birds as well as butterflies. You are welcome to herbs from the garden for cooking.

Guest Access:
Entire guesthouse, the yard and all surrounding vegetable and flower gardens.

    Great location as we were touring UVA. Quick access to I64 & into Cville. Lovely modern house, clean, lots of amenities, lots of windows, storage & space! Please check this place out! Super nice alternative if you want a change of pace from a hotel.

    What a pleasure to stay at the Honey House (so named I presume because the owners are beekeepers who have an aviary a safe distance nearby.) Everything was extremely well organized inside and neat as a pin. An open floor. plan that feels very open and roomy as well as bright and cheery. Quiet and comfortable, and all in a location very convenient to Monticello, downtown and UVa.

    My husband and I love staying at this peaceful, clean, comfortable property! There is absolutely nothing we would change. The location, communication with host and accommodations are all as advertised and wonderful! This was our second time staying here, and we hope to be back again in the future!

    The house was nicely laid out and had decks on the front and back. There were many trees on the property so there was lots of privacy. The furniture and bed were comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom well stocked. The house was conveniently located near Charlottesville and the wineries. We had a very pleasant stay there.

    We stayed three nights in Honey House while in town celebrating our oldest son's college graduation. Location was perfect - very close to UVA and also quiet and peaceful, situated within a beautiful garden area. The studio is beautiful, very clean and thoughtfully appointed. Hosts are kind and accessible while also respectful of privacy. Already thinking about when we can come back.

    Our daughter was getting married in Charlottesville and she lives in OH and we were arriving from NC. The rest of the family and guests were all traveling so Honey House was our perfect retreat to plan, stage wedding items and share a meal with our new family members. Honey House is located about 10 minutes from great restaurants and stores. The house itself lives very comfortably and we rested very well and prepared meals in the well equipped kitchen. The front and rear porches are a wonderful place to sit back and relax while enjoying the beautiful location and wildlife. Super place if you’re a couple visiting Charlottesville!
