Fantastic house and location with plenty of room and space for our group to spread out and all the details taken care of including plenty of sheets, towels, strong wifi, and activities - fire pit, game room, pool table, etc…Property manager was personal and attentive to all of our questions and needs. Highly recommend staying here and will certainly try to reserve again when we return in future.
Great stay! House has everything you need! Owner and Property Manager very helpful!
Beyond our expectations. Always see pictures online and when you get to the property it sometimes is not exactly as pictured. This was exactly what we expected and more. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.
family of 7 plus a girlfriend and a boyfriend. and a 2 year old granddaughter. Plenty of room for everyone. close to everywhere we needed to be for our daughter's wedding in the Farmington area.
It was a great property to stay the weekend for our daughters wedding. Plenty of room for family and friends to stay.
In Charlottesville for a family wedding and this was the prefect house
My husband and I, and our entire extended family, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at By Far Cottage. From the excellent communication with the owners and property manager, to the extra details like the UVA flag and fragrant lily bouquets throughout the house, we couldn't have asked for more. The adult kids loved the outdoor firepit, and the gas grill and screened-in porch were ideal for a family graduation cookout. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Great spacious house. Perfect location for golf courses and the steeplechase
Could not have been happier with it- beautiful, spacious, great neighborhood. And fantastic book library!
We are a group of ten women who stayed in the home to celebrate my 50th birthday. I was looking for a space that would have plenty of beds and bathrooms to help everyone feel comfortable (especially because some of them were meeting for the first time), and the house did not disappoint! All of us commented about how comfortable the beds were and we took notes (and pictures) so we could have the same cozy experience at home. We had several spaces where we could all sit together and the kitchen had everything we needed (and more). We took full advantage of all of it! We were close to downtown, where we spent an afternoon wandering the shops, and to the wineries, which we toured on another day. Katie showed us around the house when we arrived and helped make sure we had everything we needed. The ladies have decided we need to return for my 60th, though we’d all like to come back sooner. Highly recommend! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had the best time!
excellent
We could not have been happier with our stay here! Plenty of room to spread out, and cozy spaces to come together for meals, chatting and celebrations. Located to conveniently to all major attractions in the area. Comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms and everything you could want or need to ge comfortable!! We would gladly give 10 stars!! Owners and property managers were all so friendly and accessible!! Loved every moment!!
We had a fabulous time staying at Mike’s beautiful home in Charlottesville over UVA’s graduation weekend. We enjoyed having meals with our family and friends in the big kitchen and hanging out in the many relaxing areas to just catch up and spend time together. The house was even better than the pictures- woukd highly recommend staying here!
This house is really amazing and more than met our needs for a long-weekend anniversary celebration with friends. I only wish we could have stayed longer in order to enjoy the house more. We looked at a couple of rental properties on downtown Charlottesville but the location of this place really worked for us since it's a quick 10-minute drive to downtown for restaurants and only 15-30 minutes from the area's best wineries. Also right across the road from the Boar's Head Inn where we enjoyed dinner on Sunday evening at the Mill Room. Don't be afraid to try it if you have been disappointed in recent years with BH; restaurant and bar are refurbished. Everything we ordered and the service were excellent. Back to the house .... exceptionally clean, very well stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook in (we did one evening), lots of spacious lounging areas plus cool wine/bourbon room in the basement. Everyone in our group raved about the beds and linens. Comminication with the propert owner and manager was very good. We met with Katie, the house manager, upon arrival and she gave us a thorough tour and was very respectful and accommodating to our group. I was more than happy with this rental and would highly recommend it to any group of grownups wanting a quality stay in the Charlottesville area.
This property was the perfect accommodation for our family gathering for a week ending with a wedding. The house is incredibly spacious with lots of amenities. For large families it has plenty of gathering places AND rooms to take refuge for some quiet time. Several family members had to work remote for part of the week and this property had plenty of rooms to make that work. The kitchen is a huge benefit for groups who like to cook. There is extra refrigerator capacity and a large dining area. Modern cooking accessories and plenty of counter/cooking prep areas. Outside porches, decks and fire pit were a hit as well. The billiards parlor was a nice distraction for the groom before the wedding. For people who like board games and cards, the game room was always busy. The primary advantage of this property is the location. It is central to almost everything in Charlottesville which makes access to UVA, historical downtown, shopping, restaurants and vineyards easy. The property manager was incredibly helpful and provided local intel to help us get whatever we needed.
