Charlottesville Retreat for Family & Friends

(Owner/manager of 9046858 also)
Welcome to the beautiful countryside around historic Charlottesville!
“The Tree” house (so named for its massively gorgeous oak) stands at the site of a pre-Civil War cabin. This home welcomes visitors young and old alike and groups large or small! Explore the spacious outdoors that include hiking trails, quaint pond with a floating dock, a fire pit and tire swing and a large field for lacrosse, soccer, football, frisbee - you name it!
With only a 23 minute drive among lovely farms and Blue Ridge views you may experience the well loved Historic Downtown Pedestrian Mall. The University of Virginia with it's beautiful Rotunda and Grounds is just a few minutes beyond that.
Wineries are abundant in the area! Close by visit the Barboursville Vineyards and Ruins as well as Horton Vineyards. Castle Hill, a cidery with a spectacular setting and wedding venue is just a few back-roads away... Also, Chestnut Oak Vineyard, Keswick Vineyards and Burnley Vineyards to name a few more... **DiVine Wine Tours is a lovely company to book with and offers a 5% discount to my guests!** Ask for my discount code if you would like to schedule.
We love to make vacationing a pleasure and provide you with all the necessities to make your stay care-free and comfortable! The kitchen is fully equipped including spices and basic staples. Towels and linens (freshly made beds!) - soap, shampoo/conditioner and toilet paper - dish and dishwasher soap - kitchen towels - paper towels - napkins - are all provided.
We invite you to come experience the tranquil beauty with your loved ones!

Perfect Family Holiday Retreat
We rented this property to handle the cousin overflow from a family Thanksgiving in Charlottesville. We had 14 people total with an age range of 77 to 3 years old. The house suited everyone! It was clean, had ample towels and blankets, easy access to walking trails, and a much-enjoyed wood-burning stove in the living area. It was the perfect balance of well-cared-for yet relaxed, cozy but with plenty of space to retreat, and a private location with easy access to town. This lovely home will be our first choice when returning to Charlottesville. Thank you for wonderful stay!

Lovely, relaxed, and commodious
This house is perfect for connecting with friends and family. The kitchen is large, well appointed, and well suited to cook together. The outdoor firepit and nearby trails made for a perfect weekend of reconnecting and relaxing with a group old friends. Everything was perfectly clean, there were thoughtful touches all over the house (fresh sheets and towels exactly where you'd hope to find them). I would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful Country Getaway
We had an amazing stay in Charlottesville thanks to Mary and her wonderful property! We had a large group of friends and family, and I must say, all 10 of us were very impressed by how comfortable and spacious the accommodations were. We especially enjoyed the large outdoor patio area, it was a perfect weekend. I would definitely recommend this property to any families or groups looking to have a memorable weekend in Charlottesville!!

Perfect House for Lots of People
7 ladies rented this house for a getaway. It was perfect. So many bedrooms and bathrooms. Great living space for all of us to gather. Well stocked kitchen with Kindle and regular coffee pots. We loved the outside fire pit and used it all nights that we were there. Our group gets away together once per year, and it's going to be hard to find a better house.
