Hometract Cottage, Historic Property, UVA/Charlottesville/Ivy

Hometract Cottage is a historic one bedroom home (NRHP, circa 1800) centrally located 15 minutes or less from downtown Charlottesville, UVA, Crozet, Monticello, wineries and more. The cottage features king size bed, ensuite bath, fully stocked kitchen, living/workspace with comfortable sleeper sofa, mature landscaping for privacy, and covered front porch. Hometract is a quiet 3-acre property with terraced garden views. Visit our chicken coop, relax in the hammock, or walk to the garden shop or Duner's restaurant.

Hometract is located in historic Ivy, a rural area characterized by mature forests and rolling hills. We have the privacy of a rural area with few neighbors but also easy access to I-64 & Rt. 250 putting Crozet, Ivy, Charlottesville, Monticello, Keswick, and more all within easy reach. We are walkable to the Ivy Corner Garden and Gift Shop, local favorite Duner's Restaurant, and the Wine & Country gift shop. Boars Head Resort is only 5 minutes down the road with its golf course, restaurants, spa, and music and events. The Foxfield Races are only 10 minutes away.

Road cyclists can enjoy the popular Dick Woods Taylor Gap route passing right past Hometract's entrance.

Enjoy the best spirits that Charlottesville has to offer with Ragged Branch Distillery a few minutes away, and Potters Craft Cider, Starr Brewery, and more than a dozen wineries all within 15 minutes.

Parents' weekend visit

This was the perfect place to stay for parents' weekend. It was a short drive to UVA campus. The beautiful living room and cozy kitchen enabled us to relax and visit in a comfortable environment. We loved the quiet, country setting and particularly enjoyed the view of the Milky Way at night and visiting with the hens during the day.

An Absolute Idyll

This is an overall lovely, serene, comfortable and yet practical. The cottage is very well-appointed and well-equipped. It was exactly the respite I needed.Juli, the host, was out of town, yet still communicated with me about my potential needs. I couldn't have asked for a better place or a better host.All that in a place that's only about a ten-minute drive west of town. i cannot recommend Home Tract highly enough.

Very peaceful and quiet property. The location is easy to find and close to Charlottesville. It’s about 15-20 minutes so a place to end a busy day restfully. The property is well maintained and self check-in easy.

Loved this cottage

We were charmed by this cottage. It had everything we needed for four nights as we explored the region. Hosts were attentive and welcoming while giving us privacy. We wished we had booked for a week! Very comfortable, nice linens and towels, kitchen fully equipped. So nice to have coffee fixings supplied. Not much in walking distance but plenty of places to explore nearby.

Adorable cottage!

This was such a cute property! It's something just a little different from everything else and just what we were looking for. It is nicely decorated and it was also nice to have coffee supplies provided. (Thank you!) I loved that the pathway lights popped on when you approach them....which was also very helpful when we arrived after dark. The train went by a couple of times, but didn't bother us. I thought it was kind of neat. We were very close to quite a few wineries that were on our list to visit and we were able to go hiking nearby in Crozet. It was just a short trip into Charlottesville, which we took advantage of as well to check out some antique shops. Wish we could have stayed longer! ...and wish i could have visited the chickens more than once!
