Room for rent in beautiful, luxurious townhouse. Four miles to UVA.

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish townhome with an experienced Hostess . You would be sharing the home with the hostess and two other traveling nurses. By the way, the home is located in Charlottesville, NOT Lake Monticello! put that in mistakenly. The subdivision is somewhat new and I believe that GPS hasn’t caught up yet. Due to county restrictions I only host monthly reservations.

*** The map shows the location of the house at Lake Monticello. This is incorrect! It is a new subdivision and Google has not caught up!
The house is located in Charlottesville!
Fun things to do: bear in mind you can google any of these destinations on google maps for easy directions.

- A tour of Monticello- President Thomas Jefferson’s historic home is a must see. There are several good vineyards to go to as well in this area. During the busy season – fall, summer and spring it is best to call and get a reservation at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the holiday season Monticello is decked out with traditional colonial decorations
-US president James Monroe Highland and US President James Madison historic homes are also very good. There are wonderful vineyards in these locations as well.
- Carter’s Mountain up the street is near Monticello is a very popular destination.
- My personal favorite vineyards are Pipin Hill Farm and vineyard, Dave Matthew’s Blenheim Vineyard, Albemarle Estate at Trump vineyard. Barborsville vineyard is great too and is near James Monroe historic home.
- There is good hiking in and around Charlottesville. There are too many places to list, but a convenient, nearby trail is Saunders-Monticello trail which is very nice.
-Touring UVA/Thomas Jefferson’s Rotunda. Reservations required, but worth it!
Saturday morning farm market off the downtown mall is amazing.

Restaurants: There are many good restaurants in Charlottesville. Here are some of the most popular, local spots:

Breakfast:
Marietta Betts and Blue Moon are small, local spots and are my favorite breakfast brunch place on Sunday morning.
Bodos of course-bagel sandwiches are to die for. Tip Top is casual, and good, for budget conscious folks-in this economy I think we all are!

Lunch:
Mezeh mediterranean grill, Poke Sushi, Mellow mushroom pizza, Monsonsoon Siam(Thai), Milan(Indian). Any of the sushi places on the downtown mall are excellent. There are also chain restaurants: Chipotle, Panerra etc.

*** Near Pipin Hill Farms is a pizza place called Dr. Ho’s which serves up some of the best pizza in town. If you want to do a wine tasting at Pipen, Dr. Ho’s is a great spot for pizza afterwards.
***Michie Tavern is a historic tavern with a period restaurant serving Southern fare, plus a gift shop & tours at Monticello. The current hours are limited from 11:30 – 3 pm. This tavern was a favorite spot of Thomas Jefferson and is right next to Monticello. It’s a bit pricey for what you get, but it’s fun!

Dinner:
Maya’s , Orzos, The Wool Factory(new), Ten(sushi), Tavola, the Local, Zocalos, Continental Divide, Torchy Taco, Red Pump Kitchen, and Brasserie Saison.
*** Mas (Mas is a Spanish eatery offering tapas & great spanish wines in an industrial-chic setting with a lively bar. You should probably make reservations in advance. The shrimp tapa is great.
These are some of the most popular fine dining experience in Charlottesville: all require reservations.
-C and O, Fluerie’s French Cusine(very romantic!) are on the downtown mall – for C&O ask to be seated on the main floor for the best dining experience.
-Ivy Inn

For good food on a budget:
Bodos, Take it away, Thai Fresh, Poke Sushi, Roots, Revolutionary soup, Marco Luna noodle(must get the dumplings!), Tip top restaurant(breakfast, lunch and dinner).

***Bodo’s bagels is great for breakfast and lunch. Everything is fresh and yummy. Routinely wins best sandwich in Cville. There are 3 locations.
