Afton Ruby Canody Gallery Hotels

"Bill and Cynthia were the warmest and most welcoming hosts. The house sits on a large plot between Bill and Cynthia’s home and a large barn for the care of the multitude of animals that you will find here: Chickens, Goats, Horses, and Cows among others. Beware the guard dog! She will smother you with affection and she sheds all year.As far as the house itself, wow! It is a treasure trove of history, older than Monticello, it is filled with fascinating books and memorabilia that would take a lifetime to take in if you so choose. The rooms and beds are spacious and comfortable, and Cynthia and Bill have taken many steps to make your stay as cozy as possible. For an older home it still has the modern touch: brand new fridge, dishwasher, oven, and microwave. A big screen tv can be found on the ground level in a large seating area with a recliner and a couch, which is heated by a gas fire and/or a space heater.The water pressure can be a little lacking sometimes but you can adjust the heating and that brings the pressure back up. Not sure how the house performs in the warmer days but it is very comfortable in the cold. The fire pit is a bit a ways away from the house but there’s plenty of firewood available and Bill makes sure to stay well stocked!Conveniently located near Charlottesville but well away from the hustle and bustle. If you are looking for peace and rest this would be a perfect spot."

"Very humbling, a place to reconnect with nature.Making memories with family. Simple life style.No hussle."

"We loved this property. It was just what we were looking for…. Charming, thoughtfully planned, well decorated with fun extras. The hot tub, nature trail, pool table and games added special touches that helped us relax and enjoy spending time together. We stayed in suite 2 which had everything we needed noises maker, coffee, chocolate. I felt welcomed and thought of. Would definitely come back. "

"The views are truly incredible!! So happy we stayed at Mountain Mama! House was very clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, beds were very comfortable, kitchen well supplied - everything you need to cook a nice meal (grill needs replacing though). Star gazing paradise! Close to excellent hiking - Humpback rocks trail. Overall fantastic! "

"Our stay at this location was very Comfortable studio and bed; nice decor. Communication with host was excellent. Convenient to Charlottesville and several vineyards.Would recommend and would stay again. "

"The cottage was so cute, very roomy and the view was spectacular. The location was perfect for us to get to all of our planned activities including driving Skyline Drive and visiting Monticello and Highlands. We could not have asked for a better stay and host! "

"Great relaxing location, surrounded by an orchard. "

"This was an excellent location to facilitate our 30th birthday celebration with friends. We were most appreciative of the host’s promptness in addressing a hiccup with the water supply that happened. This ended up having 0 impact on our event due to how quickly they responded and sent out a plumber. There was so much space and we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend! "
