Afton, Virginia
Welcome to The Branch at Afton Mountain Retreat in the heart of Brewery Trail/Route 151, Vineyard country and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Branch is located 1/8th mile from Veritas Vineyard. It is within 10 minutes to every brewery, vineyard, distillery and cidery along Route 151 & Crozet as well as the Shenandoah National Park entrance. It is 1 mile from the newly opened Blue Ridge Tunnel and 20 minutes to Wintergreen Resort for winter fun!
Completely remodeled and ready to spoil the best guests who simply want to unwind.
This newly renovated home offers one level living with additional hang out space in the unfinished basement - we like to call it the Teen/Toddler Hangout level. Located on 2 acres with views of Afton Mountain, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the vineyard hillside at Veritas right across the street. The home features a completely open concept floor plan fit for entertaining inside and outside! The screened porch features a brick wood burning fireplace hearth with ample seating for lounging or dining. You can choose to have a meal under the outdoor lights on the patio or simply enjoy a cold beverage on the covered back patio while grilling dinner and watching the cows graze. The kitchen is completely stocked with all you would need to cook meals and enjoy morning coffee. Quartz countertops, stylish lighting and a deep stainless steel workstation sink. The family room is just off the entry and so cozy with deep seating chairs, sofa and ottomans to gather with a 67" TV to watch games and movies.
It will be hard to decide between sitting on the covered front porch Adirondack chairs with swing or moving to the enormous screened-in porch with covered seating for relaxing and a dining table that stretches across the fireplace. The basement is perfect for those rainy days or busy bodies. It features an air hockey table, poker table, chess/checkers/backgammon table, toddler playing zone or a large sectional sofa with a 2nd TV to have separate viewing rooms from the upstairs family room. The laundry room is enormous and equipped with a 2nd refrigerator.
There is plenty of room for everyone to find their special place to stretch out and recharge yet small enough to keep everyone gathered together for time well spent to unwind and relax. Whether you choose to set out for the day to explore or stay all day on the property, you are sure to enjoy your surroundings and the beauty of this area in any season of the year.
This property is beautiful, well-located, and most importantly (for me), very clean! So tastefully decorated with fun touches for the kids like a porch swing and air hockey table in the basement. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon. It was the perfect spot to visit wineries (and a polo match), head into Charlottesville, and go apple picking.
Great house that has everything you could want, especially if you're the type to go out all day exploring agritourism and come back to a cozy house to make and enjoy dinner in. We definitely enjoyed the screened in porch with fireplace the most. Bedrooms and bathrooms are nice. It was an adult-only trip so while we did not use the basement play area, I was able to escape to do some work...no rest for the weary! If you like Afton wineries, this is the ABnB for you.
Near SNP, vineyards, breweries and more. Nicely refinished house and comfortable for a family of four. Highly recommended.
Such a pretty house in a beautiful setting across the road from Veritas Winery. We enjoyed our weekend exploring Afton and Charlottesville. This house was perfect. Very nicely decorated, comfortable beds and great location.
Looks fresh inside and out, very well outfitted with everything you need. Very thoughtfully done with families with kids in mind. Plenty of glassware, towels, and the basics so no need to go shopping. Nice tips in advance of the stay as well. Will definitely stay here again.
Beautifully renovated and decorated home! Every detail is perfect! The house is well stocked with anything you may need!
Stunning home, well stocked and a beautiful place to spend our long weekend for graduation! The decor and home was so beautiful. Kitchen supplies were fabulous and so many wonderful touches that make this the perfect home for entertaining and relaxing. Loved the playroom, little kids would have a ball! Loved being across the street (short walk away) from a stunning winery. Great porch and space for hanging outside, comfy beds, etc. Would definitely come back! Owner is super responsive and gracious. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great location and well decorated. Definitely recommend it!
Wonderful short stay. Kids loved the basement Beautiful area
This is a wonderful property that made our weekend so enjoyable. The house was beautiful. The owners furnished and decorated it beautifully. They thought of every detail. It is obvious that they put a lot of love into it. Location was wonderful. Highly recommend!
The property was great. It was so close to wineries and breweries. Dawn was very responsive and helpful in figuring out the lay of the land for our group.
The Branch far and away exceeded our expectations! Our friend group traveled to the area for a spontaneous ski weekend and Wintergreen resort, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dawn's property. The house is only about 20 minutes from the slopes, and 3-5 minutes from a wide array of breweries and wineries! Everything within the property was meticulously cleaned and you could tell that a lot of love and care went into the design of the house. We will for sure be back again - this time for much longer!
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was immaculate, gorgeous, and everything we were looking for. We would definitely stay again!
What a wonderful place to enjoy Thanksgiving! We spent four nights in this lovely home & it soooooo exceeded our expectations. It’s newly renovated & beautifully appointed with its modern furnishings & appliances that are simply perfect. The kitchen is so well equipped & the house honestly offered everything we needed. The icing on the cake was the huge basement with its own sitting area, big TV etc. which my kids loved & I cannot forget to mention the ice hockey table, huge hit!!! The location was perfect for us with it being close to the mountain trails for hiking & the vineyards & breweries are so close by & we visited them as our hiking reward! A huge thank you to the owners for our best Thanksgiving yet. We will definitely come back & stay in the same house without question!
Loved the place….great access to Skyline drive
