Cottage vacation rentals in Charlottesville

The cottage was clean and cozy. It is easy to get to and quiet. We enjoyed our stay convenient to nearby amenities. Hosts were responsive and helpful and the house had everything we needed!

Everything was perfect. Would definitely stay again!

Our group had a lovely stay at this house over the holiday weekend! The layout was genius - bedrooms on opposite sides meant we could all pretend we didn't snore. The house was great, it was lovely to have meals at the table and plenty of seating to hang out. The hosts were rockstars. They answered our questions quickly and checked in on us. They went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. Loved not having a TV in the bedrooms and the big screen in the livingroom saved the day with the kids and their game system. We also loved the stash of cards and board games. I won EVERY game of UNO! The kitchen had everything we needed to store and make our meals. The easy parking meant we could load in and load out super quick. The supplies were great and I felt like they took care of us the entire way. 10/10 would stay here again.

We had a lovely stay at Greg’s place! Wonderful location, plenty of space and nice for the dogs. Comfortable beds and very clean!

Great little cottage for a quick getaway. We came up for the wine tours and this was a great landing area for us after a long day. We were very happy with the beds and amenities. Would stay here again!

Erica was a super-friendly, pro-active and very responsive communicator who gave clear and helpful responses and instructions. Fantastic dealing with her. The snacks/treats and coffee provided were an unexpected but really welcome treat after days hiking in the mountains. Great location for access to Charlottesville and surrounding mountains, wineries and brewpubs. A couple distant trains roll through during the night, but a little white noise from my phone easily negated that. Highly recommend!

This place was perfect for our weekend getaway. The cabin was spacious, clean and comfortable, plus close to so many hikes in Shenandoah national park. The hosts really thought of everything, from coffee to cookware and even having the fire pit filled with brush so we could easily have a fire. The location is nestled in the mountainside and is SO quiet, coffee overlooking the mountains and hills with nothing but the sounds of nature was therapeutic. We are already talking about planning our next trip back!

The Peony Cottage was better than what the pictures portrayed. The hosts were very friendly, the beds and linens were nice and comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. The cottage was extremely clean, had a thoughtful layout, was in a quiet setting, and had plenty of wood for the outdoor fire pit. The hosts thought of every nice amenity including fresh tulips on the kitchen table! Highly recommend!

What a lovely home! And so nicely decorated and well laid out. There was plenty of room for our group of hikers. The location was perfect due to its proximity to the Appalachian Trail. My sister does a lot of cooking and the kitchen had just about everything we needed. We felt so at home that we will try to stay again if we get around to finishing the southern part of Shenandoah NP. Of course, the MAIN thing anyone needs while on vacation is a good night's sleep. The beds were SO comfortable and we slept very well. The big backyard was also a bonus. Definitely a 5 star stay.

The place was cute, well decorated and spacious. The hot tub was wonderful after many strenuous hikes in Shenandoah. Kids enjoyed the foosball and air hockey, and s'mores over the solo stove. Beds were comfy.

Very nice place in a great location between Luray and Shenandoah. House is very private. Driveway is steep, so be prepared for that. Clean and just the right size for us. Thanks!

What a gem! Our family of 5 enjoyed everything about our stay at Hillside Hideaway. Comfortable and cozy atmosphere, very clean. We all enjoyed the hot tub each evening and lazing in the hammock for some down time between hiking and sightseeing. The kiddos loved the books, games, toys, and swing. Rhonda was a great host with easy communication and very clear instructions about the home. We wish we could've stayed longer!

I had a wonderful stay at Chris and Sandy’s farm guesthouse. It was very easy to find and exceeded my expectations. They were the best hosts and I would definitely return. I especially loved feeding the donkey, Jasper. Sandy and Chris went out of their way to make it feel like home for us. Thanks again for the Yoder’s icecream recommendation, we loved seeing the free petting zoo.

It was a wonderful home, me and the girls had a great spring break getaway!

An absolute gem of a place - modern comforts nestled away in a completely private setting. Close enough to towns for eats if you want and super close to Shenandoah NP for exploring/hikes yet far enough away from everyone to see the stars at night the way they should be seen. The cottage was super clean and very well set up offering everything you’d need to have a great rainy day if needed indoors. Will come back for sure as we missed a few trails and wineries. Must see the Grand Caverns and visit Lil’ Gus for a burger just a short ride South. We were very fortunate and stayed during the Elkton Spring Festival in town for small town carnival fun without the city shenanigans we get at home.

Beautiful hideaway in the middle of the snowy woods and only a quick drive to the grocery store, restaurants and wineries! Loved relaxing by the fire and enjoying the scenery. This place is the perfect weekend getaway to decompress and enjoy nature. Also spotlessly clean, especially given it’s dog friendly! Cant recommend enough!

We had a great time! We were able to get away for a quick trip before the baby arrives which was refreshing!!

Our family enjoyed our time at Patti’s place. The place is comfortable and easy to navigate. The outdoor seating areas are relaxing and great for star gazing.

Such a great place to stay, walking distance to everything! The house had everything we needed and we truly enjoyed our stay!

This was the perfect headquarters for exploring Shenandoah National Park with our pups. By far one of the best pet friendly accommodations we’ve found anywhere. Located only minutes from the park and dozens of hikes, this cute little cottage had everything we could possibly need. Our dogs loved the backyard and all the extra amenities provided for them. The space was super clean, well maintained, and cozy. Amanda was a fantastic host, super responsive, helpful, and friendly. We loved having the brewery and other businesses just across the street. We would definitely stay here again!

Very peaceful and lots of nature and animals to see

Mary Scott and Mark's cottage was a wonderful little getaway. The cottage was quaint and cozy. Check-in instructions were very clear and our hosts were very responsive. It was a great location with beautiful surroundings and had many things to do within a 20-25 min radius. Downtown Charlottesville and Monticello were close by and were great day activities. We also really enjoyed the Glass House Winery which was about 5 min away. Beautiful home, highly recommend!

The pink cottage is nestled in nature, but also in the city. We were able to head toward UVA campus or out toward Ivy with ease. The place is both quirky and quaint - an artistically steeped homebase.

Billy's has become our hideaway from Northern Virginia over the last 3 years. Love the peace and quiet and natural surroundings. If you love to hike, there are numerous trails to visit and, of course, excellent breweries and wineries nearby as well.
