Perfect Long Weekend Getaway

This property is great! Is better than the pictures. If you are looking for a property with a large kitchen this is it. It’s a perfect spot for a weekend getaway. The access instructions were incorrect but the host was responsive and resolved the issue quickly.

Good for small family

If your kids can handle the sofa bed, this is a great stay for Charlottesville. Located near downtown but outside of a convenient walk for most downtown attractions etc. Good option for Charlottesville and would repeat.

Super loft!

Loved everything about the place, except maybe the hard-to-reach cobwebs ;) Great location! Felt like being in a tree house - quiet, forested, and perfect for 2 people. Had everything we needed, and a wonderful place to return to after hiking, sight-seeing, or hanging out downtown.

This property is above a garage in an old neighborhood…the property was very dirty with dust and cobwebs and the kitchen stove top was grimy! The kitchen lacked proper cooking utensils and the pots and pans were extremely old…the cabinets need updating and cleaned! The bathroom was clean but the floor was not and the living room needed a good vacuuming and dusted! The area was old and run down but close to the historical sites! These pictures are very deceiving and we will not be returning! If ppl pay attention to detail then I believe this place has a lot of potential…we will not be returning!

Perfect for a weekend getaway!

We loved spending a long weekend at the Carriage House! Beautifully designed, well appointed, quiet space that was conveniently located for all our activities. The beds were incredibly comfy! We even got to spot a white (leucistic) deer while hanging on the great porch. We would have enjoyed having a few decks of cards or games for family fun, but otherwise we had everything we needed! Would definitely return!

Lovely Private Carriage House

Lovely private carriage house close to downtown and close enough to UVA. Great deck in the tops and lots of privacy. Bills as 2 beds, because of a sleeper sofa, but the sleeper sofa is a bit broken down and not comfortable for an adult. Terrific option if you don't need the sleeper sofa.
