Perfect Stay for Weekend with Family
My family and I were in town for my sister's baby shower. Atieno's home was so warm and cozy, we immediately felt right at home. The location was perfect, just right around the corner from the grocery, coffee shop, and local breweries and wineries. Highly recommend!

Crozet Girls Weekend
The Bird family were amazing hosts. The location was great to walk downtown Crozet. We chose not to bring any food or leftovers into the home because we were warned about mice and there were ants in the trash can. The Birds did warn us about this in advance but we didn’t want to risk it. Pictures are accurate but if you prefer a more updated home you might want to look somewhere else. If you are a group of adults, there are really only two suitable beds for sleeping.

Wedding Weekend
Stayed here for a family wedding. The house was beautiful, wonderfully clean, and very comfortable. My husband and I stayed in the primary bedroom, our adult son used the second bedroom and our teenage son was going to use the loft bed but found it to be a bit too tight for him. We had no problem switching him to the pull out bed in the office. So happy to have found this home, will definitely book again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Atieno Bird

Host profile image
We moved from the Northeast quadrant of Washington DC in 2016 to be close to the mountains, to extended family, and to a greener, calmer lifestyle. We work in real estate and mental health coaching and run the Crozet Trolley Co., providing visitors a fun way to enjoy Albemarle's agritourism destinations.

Why they chose this property

Our family of four loves living in Crozet, so close to the mountains and full of friendly people, and with dozens of agritourism destinations within twenty minutes drive. This property is walking distance from cafes and restaurants but feels secluded. It's also one of a handful of historic properties in town.

What makes this property unique

The combination of walkability and space/privacy/safety/nature is hard to find. Many properties provide one or the other but not both. It's also rare to find a charming older property, especially one that is well renovated. If the beauty of your space matters to your vacation experience, this is your find.
