Welcome to your ultimate getaway: Ivy Springs Retreat. Situated on a stunning 15 acre property, the expansive grounds feature multiple exterior entertaining spots, a private lake, heated saltwater pool, hot tub, basketball net, game room with ping pong & air hockey, pool table and more! The interior can sleep up to 18 with 5 bedrooms, bonus rooms, and 6.5 baths. Please Note- Pool is open April through October and closed November-March.

We are here if you need us! There is an on-site caretaker in the lower level apartment. You will never have your stay disrupted - she does not use any of the grounds or amenities while guests are there, and you may see her come and go but they are ultimately there to make sure every guest has an amazing experience and provide daily maintenance to the expansive property. She will only perform pool or hot tub daily maintenance if necessary or requested during your stay. She is uniquely qualified to help if there is an issue but otherwise will keep to their quarters which are very separate below the home. The entrance is also separated and sunken underneath the side of the house, giving guests at pool and hot tub complete privacy.

We have routine maintenance done to the pool by a professional company weekly.

15 Secluded acres. Neighbors own 20, 300 and 100 acres, but the property is just 1.9 miles off of the interstate.

The entire property except the basement apartment and the 3 car detached garage (storage area for grounds-keeping).

Thanks for stopping by!
Please note the following:
1) The heated saltwater pool is open seasonally from mid-April-October. The pool is closed November, December, January, February, March and often into the first 2 weeks of April, depending on the weather.
2) The pool may be cooler in April and October as the heater isn't designed to keep up in significantly cooler temperatures.
3) There is a two-night minimum. Saturday check-ins and Saturday check-outs are not always available, please inquire if you would like to arrive or leave on a Saturday.
4) Pricing is only set 12 months in advance, all future bookings must contact for an accurate quote beyond 12 months.

Exterior Features:
Plenty of parking for your whole group! There is a large paved area with a basketball net that sits adjacent to a large covered exterior patio that is accessible from the interior living room, featuring a dining table, lounge furniture, outdoor games, and a propane grill, tanks provided. On the lake side of the home there is a hot tub, heated saltwater pool* (open annually from mid-April to end of October), lake with a small beach area (complete with stand up paddle board and kayaks), and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Travelling with your family With 15 acres, there's plenty of room for kids to run and explore!


The layout:
FIRST FLOOR:

Summer 2024- we completed interior and exterior upgrades. We transformed the garage into a game room and added a mini split unit so this area can be comfortably heated and cooled. Since the garage door is still functional, this is the ultimate indoor/outdoor hang spot! A ping pong table that easily converts to a beer pong/flip cup table ;) and air hockey, large mounted TV, plus an additional fridge and sitting area makes it a great bonus living space. It's the perfect spot for kids after they are done at the the pool or adults to enjoy their own games!


Enter through the front door and find the sunken atrium sunroom on your right. With wood floors, stunning views of the lake and windows on two sides, we think this is the ultimate day-to-night space. Morning sunrise yoga or meditation with the doors closed or a late-night dance party; no matter the vibes of your group this is your bonus space- make it into whatever works!

To the left is a 22-person dining area that just received a makeover with new wallpaper and fixtures. Perfect for a group dinner but also equipped with an unassuming 50 Smart TV mounted on the wall. This is the ultimate game night spot! And we provide all of the Adult games (and kid ones) because we think nothing is better than a game night with a big group of friends/family.

There is a half bath conveniently located off of this area leading to the kitchen.

The chef's kitchen comes fully stocked for cooking all standard meals for a large group, with double ovens, 2 dishwashers and all cookware and dishware provided. There is a second full size fridge with freezer in the newly renovated game garage, just off the kitchen. The bar stools on the island are great for the cook or bartender who wants to entertain. Ready to relax We have some lovely personal chefs who we can recommend. Sit back and enjoy the meal being made and served while you hang with your guests.

Off of the kitchen you'll find a small sunroom with seating and a separate nook with a Twin daybed. There's a laundry area that passes through with double doors to the Primary King bedroom.

There is another full bath off of the living room.

Bedroom 1: Primary King has its own private entrance to the pool area , a double vanity full bath, gas fireplace and 50 Smart TV. This room has an optional twin cot that can also be set up, sleeping up to 3.

The living area has a new sectional sofa, a 55 Smart TV, game closets, and a pool table.

There is an additional Queen room on the first floor that has a jack-and-jill style bath that connects to the hallway.

There is a fully operational elevator in the entryway to easily get between the first and second floors. No need to haul luggage up a flight of stairs- simply send it up with you on the elevator!

SECOND FLOOR:
Up the spiral staircase or elevator you'll find our additional guest rooms and baths.

A pass-through area has a Twin daybed that we provide bedding for.

Queen guestroom with ensuite full bath

Queen guestroom with full bath adjacent in hallway.

Queen guestroom with ensuite full bath and private observation deck brick balcony that wraps around the side and front of the house

    House is spacious and well appointed and so fun and interesting! We enjoyed exploring the design and appreciated all the extra touches for the season - especially the Christmas tree! The grounds were the highlight for much of our crew. The kayaks on the lake were so fun, as well as the fire pit area, basketball court, and large covered patio. Overall, a gorgeous, very clean yet comfortable home!

    We loved our stay. The property was unique and so much fun! There's lots to do and plenty of space to do it! The house has all the amenities you could ask for so you aren't missing things from home while you stay there and the pool and hot tub were definitely exactly what we were looking for. We only had a couple very minor issues during our stay and the team was more than helpful in getting them resolved ASAP and were so hopeful.

    Stayed at Ivy Retreat for a bachelorette/ wine weekend. The property was beautiful, we made full use of the kayaks, pool, hot tub and fire pit. There were 14 of us that fit comfortably. The kitchen was stocked with anything you may need to cook and serve meals. 2 dishwashers made clean up easy. The house is centrally located between downtown and several wineries, it was 15 mins to either, as well as grocery stores and restaurants. We had a blast with a disco party in the octagon room and the loopppng dining room table was perfect for a mimosa brunch. We barely knew the caretaker was there and rarely saw her. Some of the showers are quite small, it was no issue for us but could see how it might impact others. Noting more for awareness not a complaint. Booking and communication were great throughout.

    My family and I rented this as a home-base for my son’s wedding in Crozet. This house is huge and had so many amenities. It was perfect for us to host family members in the house, friends stopping by, and the bridal party for the rehearsal dinner and Sunday brunch. There was plenty of room for everyone to eat, mingle, and enjoy! The pool table, ping-pong table, and air hockey table were a great addition and well utilized. The kitchen had everything we needed, as did the bathrooms and bedrooms. The geese and their tiny goslings captivated us all! The house was also good location, as it was partway between Charlottesville, where most wedding guests were staying, and the wedding venue. The property manager was friendly, attentive, and helped make the whole process easy. Everyone in my group said they’d like to stay there again!

    My 3 adult children, their partners and 5kids all had Easter break this past week. Originally, we planned to go further south but found this place just outside Charlottesville and were so pleased that we stayed here. My kids have stayed in some very nice places but it was the unanimous decision that this was the best home rental we’ve ever had. The hosts were very responsive, always ready to answer questions quickly and the house had everything we needed. We will definitely return. Thank you for being such great hosts. If I were rating this on a scale of 1-10 this would be a 12!

    The house and property are spectacular. We have stayed in many homes, in many locations and this one did not disappoint! The house was clean, well appointed and accurately described. The property is beautiful…even in the winter. We were concerned about having the house manager living on site, but as described, it was absolutely not a problem.

    We had a group of 11 stay there for a winery touring weekend and loved the house. Very easy to communicate with owner. Large beautiful private property with heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, gaming tables and pond. Great location close to Charlottesville. Plenty of space and areas for sitting, relaxing, sleeping and getting ready. Very well equipped kitchen. Some minor bug issues (ants, stink bugs and lady bug/beetles) and a few updates needed to some areas but overall a great find. Would definitely stay here again.

    Very enjoyable short stay with family friends at this well appointed property. All the appliances and amenities your large group could need. Pool, basketball court and lake were big hits with our teens.

    We loved our stay at Ivy Springs! The house is spacious, beautiful, and unique. The property is gorgeous and tucked away, yet still very accessible to Charlottesville. The house, kitchen, and bathrooms were well stocked with supplies and the beds were very comfortable. There is a lot to enjoy at the house from the pool, hot tub, outdoor space, pool table, air hockey, ping pong, basketball, kayaks, and lots of games and lounging spaces. The property manager was very kind and responsive to all of the feedback I gave her and was quick to accommodate our needs. Our only minor complaint was that there were a few areas of the house that didn’t feel as clean as we’d like it, including some stains on linens and older/stained bathroom fixtures. This did not detract from our stay at all and even though the house shows its age and has some quirks, we absolutely loved staying here. We would highly recommend Ivy Springs to anyone for a family getaway! All the kids ages 7 and up loved it there and our family agreed we would happily plan another trip to the property again!
