Cozy house right in the woods! Garden paths galore! Wineries/Distilleries near.

Want to get away to a peaceful retreat, but have access to fun experiences? Ready for some quiet and relaxation, just you and nature? We have the place for you!

Situated as the last house on a dead end street on the side of Willoughby Mountain, this is the perfect house for a getaway. No cars will ever pass as you sit on the front OR back porch and listen to the sounds of nature all around you. Take a stroll through the many acres of garden and wooded paths all around the property. Enjoy the beautiful night skies without a major city right next to you.

Ready for some adventure? The home is located centrally between Charlottsville and Lynchburg. Within an hour, you can be touring Monticello, skiing the mountains at Wintergreen Resort, hiking through George Washington National Forest, or entering Shenandoah National Park. Looking for something a little more laid back? Try visiting one of the many wineries or distilleries Virgina is known for, less than a 30 minute drive away. Whatever YOUR adventure, you can make it happen.

At the end of your day, relax on the couch and just take in the views all around you. Eat a homemade meal in the dining room while overlooking the woods and watching the birds. Sit on the front porch and enjoy a peaceful nightcap. It's all possible!

Our home has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath with both a shower and a bathtub. Both bedrooms feature queen Sealy mattresses, and have full bedroom sets if you wish to unpack and utilize them. We DO have 5G cell service (at least with AT&T) and free wi-fi. A television is provided with a blu-ray player, movies, and the ability for you to login with various apps to stream content for those rainy days. A full kitchen with quality pots, pans, knives, dishes, etc is available should you wish to eat at home. Both a washer and dryer are available and all linens and towels are provided. Parking for at least 2 vehicles is available, with 3 possible based on vehicle size.

NOTE: The driveway is somewhat steep and gravel. An AWD or 4WD vehicle is STRONGLY recommended to safely navigate to the parking area.

We have well water. If you do not wish to drink the water, bringing bottles water is recommended.

We have 1 security camera that overlooks the driveway/parking area only. No cameras are anywhere else on or in the property.

Wonderful spot, literally at the end of the road. Perfect for my dogs as the entire lot is fenced. Gardens, wildlife, absolutely felt safe and well equipped. Kitchen was clean and had everything I needed. Great wifi and cell connectivity. Close to wineries and restaurants, but isolated. Spacious and clean. Exactly what I needed. A great escape. I only left the property twice in 11 days. Stayed in many, one of my absolute favorites. Hosts are cordial and helpful.

Peace and quiet
This property is very remote. When you step on to the porch, not a sound is heard. It was foggy when we arrived, that added to the ambiance. When the weather cleared, we were treated to beautiful views of the mountains. We did not realize that we needed to bring bottled water, not a big deal. Adding that in as a heads up. It was nice to get away to a peaceful, beautiful property. This place would be a hell of a destination during warmer months. Driveway is very steep but adds to the adventure when you have a capable vehicle.

Mountainside getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Eric's home. Our kids loved being able to explore outside and we all thought the home was very comfortable. I will say that I am glad we had 4wd as the listing suggested, the drive up to this home is steep! Well worth it though. We could sit outside at night and hear nothing but nature and during the day we enjoyed watching the humming birds visit the feeder while enjoying the peace and quiet. This area of Virginia is a hidden gem and Eric's property is tucked away in the middle of it. We are so glad we got to experience it. We look forward to our next visit.

Perfectly Remote
Fantastic! Our expectations were exceeded. The description was perfect, so we know how remote the location was, and that was fine with us. The house was clean and beautifully designed for guests. The hosts provided a wonderful welcome snack from local growers and a nice introductory letter. Although we did venture out to Charlottesville and Lake Nelson, we certainly could have remained right there at home and enjoyed ourselves. We are already discussing a return visit.
