One of the attractions of our HoriZEN home is the wilderness setting. Living surrounded by nature can put you in close contact with creatures great and small. Everything from bears, deer, snakes outside to lady bugs (no matter how fastidious the cleaning) inside can be encountered. Please make sure all doors and windows are closed and secured when entering or leaving the house and be observant of your surroundings when enjoying this bucolic setting! Do not leave food in your parked vehicle. Lock your car doors because the bears can get into unlocked doors and cause costly damage, which owners are not responsible for. Life in the mountains!
Enjoy your stay!
Located on the mountain viewing the valley and horizon to the east, Lisa's house is truly a beautiful spot and was very comfortable for our family of 8. Thank-you Lisa, you are a Wonderful Host!
The property is beautiful and was perfect for a family gathering during Christmas. The views were absolutely stunning and it was the perfect mountain getaway. The host is very friendly and responsive and was available for any minor issues during our stay. The house has plenty of amenities and many fun activities nearby.
This was the perfect location for our weekend getaway for my fiancés birthday. The house was so gorgeous and definitely worth the views!
We've stayed in Charlottesville every year around Thanksgiving to visit my father who is in a nursing home nearby, and this was our favorite house in 10 years! The views were incredible, the house was gorgeous and our host was so thoughtful about accommodating us and providing us with everything we could need while staying there with my family. Would highly recommend!
I cannot overstate how great this property is. The pictures do not do it justice. The location is perfect. So close to wineries, hiking trails, and beautiful views. The house itself is perfection. Every room has an amazing view. Lisa has stocked the house with a thought for any and all needs you may have. Phone charges by each bed, extra toothbrushes and all other toiletries, coffee, tea, hot tub towels, on and on. She has put so much care and consideration into the house. Everything was so clean and tidy. We had the most relaxing weekend I’ve ever had staying at a VRBO. We want to go back every year now. Thank you Lisa!
The location of the property is one of the best in the area. The house has everything you need. We changed plans and never left till check out. Look forward to coming back soon
This house is amazing! Everything you would ever want has been provided in this property. The views were beautiful! Host was quick to respond to any questions. Will book again.
We rented HoriZEN for my sisters 40th birthday. Upon arriving, we were simply at a loss for words. This property was breathtaking. The home itself was decorated beautifully and was spotless! VIEWS VIEWS VIEWS! The view from the porch was like nothing we have ever seen, from sunrise to sunset it was just beautiful. I think we all just kept saying I can't believe this view! It was very large and spacious with more than enough room for the 7 of us. The kitchen and dining table area were very spacious and great for gathering, this was a perfect getaway. Location was also great, we were able to set up a driver to take us to all the nearby wineries!
Perfect weekend even though it was rainy - because the house was just as described, very welcoming, well appointed, and of course excellent views. My husband is already planning on when we can take another weekend getaway to stay at Zen house again!
Wonderful weekend and the hosts thought of everything that you would need. House is beautiful, clean and a spectacular view.
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. The furniture and cookware were all in great condition, and the home is well decorated with custom art. My elderly parents joined us on our trip, so the layout of a master on the main floor and the remaining bedrooms downstairs allowed for the privacy, space, and quiet each family group needed. The views here are expansive, and the favorite part of our stay was watching storms pass in the valley. The host was very responsive to us and addressed our messages right away. The only downside is the location doesn’t allow for trash removal, so that is left on the guests, but I guess that is to be expected for the location. Overall this home is beautiful, and the views and location are amazing. We hope to visit again!
HoriZen was well equipped and appointed and a beautiful location.
